Fatal Contact: Bird Flu in America hits DVD on October 31
Posted by: Michael Ripped straight from the headlines, Fatal Contact: Bird Flu in America hits DVD on October 31 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The realistic drama includes an all-star cast and deals with the hypothetical story of what could happen if Avian Flu were to spread across the globe. Stars include Joely Richardson (TV’s “Nip/Tuck�), Stacy Keach (TV’s “Prison Break�), Ann Cusack (TV’s “Grey’s Anatomy�), Justina Machado (TV’s “Six Feet Under), Scott Cohen (TV’s “Street Time,� “Law & Order: Trial by Jury�) and David Ramsey (TV’s “All of Us�). Directed by Richard Pearce (No Mercy), Fatal Contact: Bird Flu in America tells the story of the rapid spread of the HN51 virus (bird flu) after one man is infected during a trip to Hong Kong. As the virus spreads, the stakes become more deadly when it mutates into a strain than can be passed from human to human. Dr. Iris Varnack (Richardson) begins the quest to keep the virus contained while the Secretary of Health and Human Services (Keach) and a Health Department nurse (Machado) fight on the front lines in this action-packed, suspense-filled movie that depicts the worse-case scenario if the bird flu were to be transmitted to humans in America.Originally airing on ABC May 9, 2006, The Hollywood Reporter noted that “Fatal Contact: Bird Flu in America is so disturbingly timely it adds to its impact, but even without any contextual backdrop, it's an exceptionally well-produced (by exec producers Diana Kerew and Judith Verno and producer Dennis A. Brown), -written (by Ron McGee) and -directed (by Richard Pearce) cautionary tale that's more than worthy of its sweeps scheduling.�
