After years of anticipation and a handful of successful screenings, the remake of Ed Wood’s cult classic Plan 9 from Outer Space is finally going to start making its way to home media. It looks like horror fans in Canada will get a chance to own their copy of Plan 9 on DVD first – the date is set for February 19, 2015 – but those at Darkstone Entertainment and Monster Pictures are working diligently to get this film into the hands of horror fans all over the world by the second quarter of 2015.
DreadCentral has the exclusive press release in regards to Plan 9’s upcoming Canadian release, and I’ve lifted it from their website and provided it for all of you HorrorSociety readers. Find it below!
“Monster Pictures is thrilled to announce the worldwide DVD premiere of Plan 9, a modern re-imagining of the classic film Plan 9 from Outer Space, on the 19th of February, 2015. The film will be available for pre-order from January 5th from jbhifi.com.au.
Plan 9 is the story of Nilbog, a small town with a big story: the beginning of an invasion! However, instead of lasers, spaceships, and epic force, these aliens have a different plan for the inhabitants of Earth: to resurrect the dead as their own army set with but one goal… to wipe out all mankind! On this Halloween night only the townsfolk stand in the way of total domination. From the police department to those trapped in a convenience store, and even those trying to stay alive in the streets, this night will decide the fates of all who walk the planet and thought they were the top of the food chain.
Plan 9 is drenched with gore, skin, and toe-tapping 50’s ditties!
Starring Brian Krause (“Charmed,” Sleepwalkers), James Rolfe (The Angry Video Game Nerd), and Matthew Ewald (Fox’s “Galidor”) plus horror actors such as Camille Keaton (I Spit on Your Grave), Addy Miller (“The Walking Dead”), and Michael Christopher (Dawn of the Dead).”
