Kino Lorber are preparing a Blu-ray release of Iain Softley's
K-Pax (2001), starring Kevin Spacey, Jeff Bridges, Mary McCormack, Alfre Woodard, and David Patrick Kelly. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on January 6.
Description: Kevin Spacey (The Usual Suspects) and Jeff Bridges (Blown Away) star in this spellbinding, often humorous story of a mysterious stranger who defies convention, puzzles the experts and leaves everyone searching for the truth. A stranger who calls himself Prot (Spacey) seemingly appears out of nowhere following a disturbance at New York's Grand Central Station. Claiming to come from the distant planet K-PAX, Prot draws the attention of jaded Dr. Powell (Bridges), whose initial skepticism soon turns to fascination and amazement. Even a team of leading scientists are at a loss to explain Prot's detailed knowledge of the star system he calls home. But with Prot's return to K-PAX fast approaching, the search for the answers intensifies and the mystery takes on pulse-quickening proportions. Based on the novel by Gene Brewer, this captivating sci-fi tale was directed by Iain Softley (Hackers) and features an early role for Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad).
