Scream Factory: Rollerball Detailed for 4K Blu-ray

Scream Factory has detailed its upcoming 4K Blu-ray release of Norman Jewison's Rollerball (1975), starring James Caan, John Houseman, Maud Adams, John Beck, and Moses Gunn. The release will be available for purchase on November 22.

Official description: In the future, there are no wars. There is no crime. There is only ... the Game. In a world where ruthless corporations reign supreme, this vicious and barbaric "sport" is the only outlet for the pent-up anger and frustrations of the masses.

Tuned to their televisions, the people watch "Rollerball": a brutal mutation of football, motocross, and hockey. Jonathan E. (the great James Caan, The Godfather, Thief) is the champion player – a man too talented for his own good. The Corporation has taken away the woman, Ella (Maud Adams, Octopussy) Jonathon loves, but they can't take away his soul – even if the diabolical corporate head (John Houseman, The Fog) tells him he better retire ... or suffer the old-fashioned way. With its surrealistic imagery and tense action sequences, Rollerball grips you by the heart – and never lets you go.
