In July, Olive Films will bring Invasion of the Body Snatchers to Blu-ray. One of the most influential science-fiction films ever made, director Don Siegel's beloved 1956 adaptation of the Jack Finney novel The Body Snatchers stars Kevin McCarthy (Piranha) as Miles Bennell, a doctor investigating some strange hysteria-related cases in the small town of Santa Mira, California. During his research, Bennell makes a shocking discovery: that a strange alien species has invaded Santa Mira, a species capable of infecting the town's residents as they sleep and replacing them with unemotional physical doppelgängers. As the epidemic spreads, only Bennell and his ex-girlfriend (Dana Wynter, Airport) stand a chance of escaping the aliens and warning the rest of the world - that is, of course, if they can keep from falling asleep. Olive's Blu-ray presents Invasion of the Body Snatchers in a 2.00:1 "Superscope" aspect ratio; the distributor has used a new HD transfer, one restored from the original negative. Supplementary materials are still unknown. Invasion of the Body Snatchers streets on July 17th. |
