Sandpiper Pictures has revealed several upcoming Blu-ray releases. Amongst them are: Mannequin (1987), Sometimes They Come Back (1991), and Zapped! (1982).
Mannequin
Burgeoning artist Jonathan Switcher (Andrew McCarthy, Pretty In Pink) is reunited with the love of his life (well, his artistic life anyway) when he discovers the beautifully crafted mannequin he created years earlier is now prominently displayed in the window of the Prince & Company department store. Much to his surprise, and to the delight of the viewer, Jonathan will discover that his art project has more than superficial human traits when it quite literally springs to life in the form of "Emmy" (Kim Catrall, Sex And The City).
This inspired comedy, a nod to such romantic fantasy films as One Touch of Venus, is directed and co-written by Michael Gottlieb (A Kid In King Arthur's Court) with Edward Rugoff (Double Take). The film co-stars James Spader (Pretty In Pink) as Switcher's work rival; Meshach Taylor (TV's Designing Women) as his outrageous and flamboyant co-worker; Estelle Getty (TV's Golden Girls) as the owner of Prince & Company; and G.W. Bailey (Police Academy, TV's Major Crimes) as the store's security chief.
STREET DATE: DECEMBER 2.
Zapped!
When a lab accident leaves high school student Barney Springboro (Scott Baio, TV's Happy Days and Charles in Charge) with telekinetic powers, it's a comic free-for-all in Zapped! Encouraged by his friend, the hormonally minded Peyton Nichols (Willie Aames, TV's Eight is Enough and Charles in Charge) to put his powers to good use, Barney exacts revenge on school bullies, cheats a little at sports and improves his luck with the girls, culminating in a prom scene reminiscent of Carrie … with laughs. Zapped! co-stars Heather Thomas (TV's The Fall Guy) as Jane, the cold-as-ice high school beauty; Felice Schachter (TV's The Facts of Life) as Bernadette, feminist class president, nerd and the girl of Barney's dreams; and Robert Mandan (TV's Soap) as high school principal Walter J. Coolidge.
STREET DATE: DECEMBER 2.
Dirty Work
Dirty Work features a who's-who of comic performers in cameos including Chris Farley, Don Rickles, John Goodman, Gary Coleman and David Koechner.
Comedian Bob Saget (TV's Full House) makes his feature film directorial debut with Dirty Work starring Saturday Night Live alums Norm MacDonald, Chevy Chase and Adam Sandler.
Best friends Mitch (Norm MacDonald, Billy Madison) and Sam (Artie Lange, Elf) have come up with a business that can't fail – a "revenge" service that'll take on the Dirty Work of "getting even," handling those unpleasant things in life that people can't or won't take care of on their own. But when the guys butt heads with shady property developer Travis Cole (Christopher McDonald, Thelma & Louise), they may have met their match. Or have they? This time revenge will not only be sweet, but hilarious, when the Dirty Work really begins.
Dirty Work is written for the screen by Frank Sebastiano (Beer League), Norm MacDonald (TV's Norm) and Fred Wolf (Grown Ups).
STREET DATE: DECEMBER 2.
Sometimes They Come Back
Tim Matheson (two-time Primetime Emmy-nominee for Best Guest Appearance in TV's The West Wing) gives what Entertainment Weekly called a "truly moving" performance in the "well-acted and skillfully produced" Stephen King's Sometimes They Come Back.
Based on the short story by Stephen King (The Shining), Sometimes They Come Back, stars Tim Matheson (Animal House) as the troubled Jim Norman who moves back to his hometown with his wife Sally (Brooke Adams, The Dead Zone) and son Scott (Robert Hy Gorman, Forever Young) after accepting a teaching job at the local high school.
But the town holds dark memories for Jim who moved away years earlier following the murder of his brother, Wayne (Chris Demetral, Blank Check). The young men responsible for the murder met with their own horrific deaths and now those restless spirits have come back for revenge.
Director Tom McLoughlin's chilling Stephen King's Sometimes They Come Back is adapted for the screen by Lawrence Konnor and Mark Rosenthal (Planet of the Apes co-writers) and co-stars Robert Rustler (Thrashin'), William Sanderson (Blade Runner) and Nicholas Sadler (Scent of A Woman).

Undercover Blues
Undercover Blues, directed by Herbert Ross (Academy Award nominee for Best Director, The Turning Point) and features Academy Award nominees Kathleen Turner (Best Actress, Peggy Sue Got Married), Stanley Tucci (Best Supporting Actor, The Lovely Bones) and Richard Jenkins (Best Actor, The Visitor).
Before there was a Mr. & Mrs. Smith there was a Mr. & Mrs. Blue. Kathleen Turner (Romancing The Stone) and Dennis Quaid (The Big Easy) star as undercover spies Jane and Jefferson Blue in Herbert Ross' (Steel Magnolias) comic caper Undercover Blues.
Following the birth of their daughter, Jane and Jefferson decide to take a well-deserved break from the spy game for a shot at normalcy. Those plans are short lived when they're called into help deal with the villainous Czech arms dealer, Novacek (Fiona Shaw, Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone). Adding to the chaos is Stanley Tucci (The Devil Wears Prada) at his comic foil best as Muerte, a petty criminal who consistently crosses paths with the Blues while working the New Orleans tourist trade.
No strangers to the comedy and adventures genres, Turner and Quaid supply romance and laughs in equal measure in Undercover Blues written by Ian Abrams (TV's Early Edition) and co-starring Tom Arnold (True Lies), Richard Jenkins (The Mod Squad) and Park Overall (TV's Empty Nest).
STREET DATE: DECEMBER 2.
