British label Fabulous Films is preparing a 4K Blu-ray/Blu-ray combo pack of John Carpenter's
Dark Star (1974), starring Brian Narelle, Cal Kuniholm, Dre Pahich, Dan O'Bannon, and Nick Castle. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on June 23.
Description: This brilliantly clever and funny parody of Stanley Kubrick's
2001: A Space Odyssey follows a warped intergalactic mission to blow up unstable planets. Four bored astronauts fill in time between missions catching up on their tans with the help of a sun-lamp, playing with a suspiciously plastic-looking alien mascot they are taking back to Earth and conversing with their female version of Hal. Things start to go horribly wrong when the spaceship computer misfires and a 'smart bomb' thinks it is God.
