In other news today, our old friends Mark A. Altman and Roger Lay, Jr. have just launched a new Kickstarter effort to raise the funds to make a great new documentary called 1982: Greatest Geek Year Ever! As those of you who regularly attend San Diego Comic-Con or Wonder-Con in Anaheim may already know, this project began as a regular series of panel discussions looking back at the films of the 1980s, several of which I’ve participated in. 1982 was an extraordinary year for genre cinema, seeing the release of Blade Runner, TRON, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Poltergeist, Creepshow, The Thing, Mad Max 2, Conan the Barbarian, The Dark Crystal, Firefox, and many more. This documentary will celebrate the 40th anniversary of that terrific year with new interviews with the filmmakers involved, as well as fans, historians, and more. Click here or on the poster art below (which features a logo Star Trek’s Mike Okuda) to support this project if you’re interested!
And finally, pre-orders for Arrow’s new DUNE 4K and Blu-ray SKUs are all now live on Amazon.com. So here’s look at those (just click on the covers to pre-order)...
Back tomorrow with more. Stay tuned!
