“Lost in Space” is back from the darkest corners of the cosmos.
Arrow Video, one of the major video labels at home, brings the 1998 space opera of Stephen Hopkins, based on the 1965 television series by Irwin Allen, with a 4K UHD luxury package filled with special features in September. And as part of the version, Arrow has created a modern style trailer, which you can look at below.
If you have never seen “Lost in Space” when it was originally released, it has intelligently reused many elements of the original series – the robot (expressed, once again, by Dick Tufeld), the bad doctor Smith (played here by an Oldman Gary of Mustache Twirling) and the Robinson family (“ All -Stars of the 90s, Rogers, Heug turns. If the original series was “Swiss Family Robinson”, it was considerably more complex.
It was also an extremely important film for New Line Cinema, which had built its legacy on horror films at a low budget and, at the time of “Lost in Space”, adventurous Indies like “Boogie Nights” by Paul Thomas Anderson. But “Lost in Space” was a large-scale science fiction adventure, designed for the widest public possibly and at a high price (it would cost $ 80 million, which represents nearly $ 160 million today). While New Line Cinema saw it as a potential franchise, it ended up being the only outing “lost in space”. (There was subsequently a 2004 television pilot and a Netflix series from 2018 to 2021.) In many ways, “Lost in Space” established the model for “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring”, released a few years later by New Line Cinema.
Arrow’s New Release is a Wonderful Combination of Legacy Special Features and Newly Created Supplements, Including Archive Audio Commentaries (With Hopkins and Screenwriter Akiva Goldsman), New Interviews With Hopkins, Cinematograph Peter Levy and Goldsman, Along with Newly Filmed Material With Kenny Wilson, who worked at Jim Henson’s Creature Shop at the Time, a Documentary About the Movie’s Sound and A Video Essay by Critic Matt Donato. This, as well as archive featurets, deleted scenes, a Q&A with the cast of the original series, Blooper Reals and new works of art.
You can pre-order this new “lost in space” now-it arrives on September 1 in the United Kingdom and September 2 in the United States and Canada.
