Spaceballs: 25th Anniversary Blu-Ray Edition coming in August
Remember ludicrous speed, Jabba the Hut, the Schwartz? Can you believe it's been 25 years since a large vaccuum cleaner sucked the air from Druidia? MGM plans to release the 25th Anniversary Blu-Ray edition of Spaceballs August 7th. The new disc includes a new featurette and much more.
repare For Ludicrous Speed as Mel Brooks’ Classic
Parody Arrives on Blu-ray August 7 With All New Bonus Material
The farce is strong in the “uproarious salute to science
fiction” (The Hollywood Reporter) when SPACEBALLS: 25THANNIVERSARY
EDITION blasts off on Blu-ray August 7 from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
Studios Inc. and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Comedy legend
Mel Brooks leads an all-star cast of cutups including John Candy (Splash),
Rick Moranis (Ghostbusters) and Bill Pullman (Ruthless People).
When the evil Dark Helmet (Moranis) attempts to steal all
the air from planet Druidia, a determined Druish Princess (Daphne Zuniga), a
clueless rogue (Pullman) and a half-man/half-dog creature who's his own best friend (Candy) set out to stop him.
But with the forces of darkness closing in on them at ludicrous speed,
they'll need the help of a wise imp named Yogurt (Brooks) and the mystical
power of "The Schwartz" to bring peace and merchandising rights to
the entire galaxy!
Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment combed the desert
to bring fans an all-new featurette for the SPACEBALLS: 25THANNIVESARY
EDITION Blu-ray entitled “Farce Yourself! Spaceballs and
the Skroobing of Sci-Fi.” Mel Brooks takes fans on a guided tour into the
making of the SPACEBALLS saga, exploring the film’s
inspiration, its production, visual effects (including the sizzling
creation of “Pizza the Hut”), how the film directly tears down the adventurous
(Star Wars), the scary serious (Alien) and even the apocalyptic (Planet
of the Apes) in his own uninhibited way and its epic status as Mel Brooks’
most successful and beloved fan favorite film. Additional bonus features
include commentaries, behind-the-scenes featurettes, still galleries, trailers,
film bloopers and more.
