Kino Lorber have confirmed that they are planning to release on Blu-ray Paul Verhoeven's film
Spetters (1980), starring: Renee Soutendijk, Rutger Hauer, Jeroen Krabbé, Maarten Spanjer, and Toon Agterberg. The release,
which will be sourced from a brand new remaster of the film, is expected to arrive on the market later this year.
Synopsis: From notorious filmmaker Paul Verhoeven (
RoboCop,
Showgirls) and writer Gerard Soeteman comes this director's cut of an "explosive, fast paced" (Boxoffice) coming of age drama. Raw, intense and unabashedly sexual,
Spetters is a wild ride that "will knock the unsuspecting for a loop" (The Hollywood Reporter)!
Rien, Eef and Hans are three young working-class guys stuck in an industrial town on the outskirts of Rotterdam. They couldn't be more different except for one thing: their shared passion for motorcycle racing, which each sees as his ticket to a better life. But a deeper passion will soon rule each of their lives, when a sexy, ambitious blonde comes between them and provokes unforeseen events that will rock their worlds.
