Hilary Duff’s movie, What Goes Up, was released to DVD today! According to the What Goes Up blog, the producers are still considering a second theatrical run for the film, after the success it has met so far. Other possibilities include more film festivals as well as showing the film outside of the US. James Hoke says:

“Some of these decisions will depend on the initial DVD sales, but we really want to expand the release.”

If you want to see some clips from the movie, head on over to YouTube and search for “What Goes Up”. Many of those clips are not there legally, so I would encourage you to buy the DVD instead!

Hilary Duff’s War, Inc has been included in a new Blu-ray “Starter Kit” with 3 other movies. The Blu-ray kit contains “Four classic films to Jump Start your Blu-ray collection”: War, Inc./The Contract/The Proposition/Immortal.

All four films are available from First Look Pictures, with the Blu-ray pack first being made available for sale on June 2nd. Amazon is selling the pack for $36.99

“What Goes Up” DVD

The DVD is already available for pre-order on Amazon.com! The release date is tentatively set for June 16, 2009 from Sony Pictures. However, that date may change depending on how well What Goes Up in theaters (or it may come out while the movie is still premiering in theaters too). As far as I can tell, there are no extras included with the DVD.

“What Goes Up” Soundtrack

The soundtrack will be released to iTunes on May 5th in the US, as will Hilary’s upcoming single, “Any Other Day”, according to the official twitter for the production team.

Haylie Duff recently starred in the Hallmark original movies Love Takes Wing and Love Finds a Home based upon the Love Comes Softly novels by Janette Oke. Those movies are now coming to DVD.

Love Takes Wing will be coming out on May 5th (pre-order here), and probably Love Finds a Home will be released soon after.

Love Takes Wing follows the story of Dr. Belinda Simpson (Sarah Jones) who arrives to a small town where many have become ill or have died. Haylie Duff plays her best friend and fellow doctor, Annie, and helps her get used to the small town life. In an interview about the series, Haylie shares how empowering it was to play a female doctor, which was rare in the period of the film.

Haylie also talked about what modern technology she couldn’t live without - and she said her iPhone. I’d have to agree! I use mine for everything, from reading books to text messaging to email and the web.
