U.S. distributors Kino Video have confirmed that they will release on Blu-ray director John Boorman's film
The Emerald Forest (1985), starring Powers Boothe, Meg Foster, Yara Vaneau, and Estee Chandler. The release is scheduled to arrive on the U.S. market on December 2.
Synopsis: For ten years, engineer Bill Markham (Powers Boothe) has searched tirelessly for his son, Tommy, who disappeared from the edge of the Brazillian rainforest. Miraculously, he finds the boy living among the reclusive Amazon tribe who adopted him. And that's when Bill's adventure truly begins. For his son (Charley Boorman) is now a grown tribesman who moves skillfully through this beautiful-but-dangerous terrain, fearful only of those who would exploit it. And as Bill attempts to "rescue" him from the savagery of the untamed jungle, Tommy challenges Bill's idea of true civilization...and his notions about who needs rescuing.
