New Trailer for Classic 1956 Sci-Fi ‘Forbidden Planet’ 4K Re-Release

“I warned you. I begged you not to land on this planet.” But they want anyway! Arrow Video has revealed an official trailer for the 4K Limited Edition Blu-ray version of Forbidden Planet, the 1956 science fiction classic from filmmaker Fred M. Wilcox. Way before 2001 and Star Wars and Logan’s Run and The Black Hole and everything else in this genre, Forbidden Planet revolutionized sci-fi filmmaking. Starring Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, Leslie Nielsen, Warren Stevens, and the iconic Robby the Robot. One of the all-time greats of sci-fi cinema, Forbidden Planet elevated the genre to a whole new level, transposing Shakespeare’s The Tempest into deepest space and breaking new ground with its iconic designs, elaborate sets, and pioneering electronic score. For the first time, FP is presented in its original Cinemascope aspect ratio of 2.55:1 with its theatrical “Perspecta” stereo soundtrack in an eye-popping brand new 4K restoration that is out of this world! A must own 4K BR for any & every movie lover. Hang out with Robby on Altair IV. // Continue Reading ›
