Six Questions: Eric Doctorow
By Thomas K. Arnold | Posted: 15 May 2009
Eric Doctorow is the longest-serving studio chief in Hollywood’s home entertainment sector. He became president of worldwide video for Paramount Pictures in 1994, and has been keeping close tabs on the business ever since, most recently as GM of MGM Worldwide for the past three years.
In the midst of MGM’s 85th anniversary, Home Media Magazine sat down with Doctorow to gain his perspective on several big issues, opportunities and challenges that face us today. Fifteen years after he first became a worldwide home entertainment president, Doctorow possesses a vast body of institutional knowledge — and continues to be one of the home entertainment sector’s top movers and shakers.
HM: MGM celebrates its 85th birthday this year, a year after Warner Bros. What special events or releases do you have in store to capitalize on this milestone?
Doctorow: For the coming year, we have a number of cool releases planned: A 40th anniversary edition of Hair, an all-new special collector’s edition of Spinal Tap on Blu-ray Disc, and a 30th anniversary edition of Mad Max. We have a couple of “Stargate” surprises planned. The entire “Rocky” collection will also street on Blu-ray in time for the holidays. And, finally, we have some neat gift sets being planned for later in the year.

One of them must be related to SGU, as JM mentioned.
I'd rather convert to Origin, be taken as a host, or fed upon by the 
than see MGM re-launch STARGATE: Infinity. . .
