French distributors TF1 Video have revealed that they are planning to release on Blu-ray David Cronenberg's thriller Dead Ringers (1988), starring Jeremy Irons, Genevičve Bujold, and Barbara Gordon. In 1990, the film was nominated for five awards by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films.
Exact technical specs and region coding status for this release are unknown at the moment, but the preliminary release date set by the distributors is January 17th.
In Dead Ringers, David Cronenberg tells the chilling story of identical twin gynecologists—suave Elliot and sensitive Beverly, bipolar sides of one personality—who share the same practice, the same apartment, the same women. When a new patient, glamorous actress Claire Niveau, challenges their eerie bond, they descend into a whirlpool of sexual confusion, drugs, and madness.
In the U.S., Dead Ringers was once available on DVD via the Criterion Collection. Currently, the film is distributed by Warner Bros.
