British label 101 Films has officially announced that it will add two new titles to its Blu-ray catalog: The Colossus of New York (1958) and Crack in the World (1965). The two releases will be available for purchase on August 5.
The Colossus of New York
Synopsis: After the accidental death of a brilliant scientist, his lunatic father and brother transplant the dead man's brain into the body of a giant robot. The operation is successful, but the Colossus Robot mourns for his wife and child, and unwilling to be the guinea pig in his father's psychotic project, begins to demonstrate homicidal behaviours.
Released on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK. Colossus of New York was directed by sci-fi specialist Eugène Lourié (Gorgo) and benefits from a haunting, minimalistic piano score from composer Van Cleave.
Special Features:
Synopsis: Dr. Steven Sorenson (Dana Andrews) and his wife and fellow scientist Dr. Maggie Sorenson (Janette Scott) plan to utilize the geothermal energy of the Earth's interior by detonating a powerful thermonuclear device deep within the Earth's core. Despite warnings from Maggie's ex-flame and fellow scientist Dr. Ted Rampian (Kieron Moore), Dr. Sorenson proceeds with the experiment after he secretly learns that he is terminally ill. This experiment causes a crack within the earth's crust and threatens to split the earth in two if it is not stopped in time.
Released on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK, Crack in the World is a classic doomsday disaster movie from legendary director Andrew Marton.
