GRINDHOUSE RELEASING, the new leader
in quality exploitation, is proud to announce an amazing event of unprecedented importance
-- the upcoming North American theatrical release of THE BEYOND.
Our ultimate goal since acquiring the rights to this nightmare masterpiece was to return
it to the location where it truly belonged -- the big screen. With its widescreen
anamorphic aspect ratio and masterful cinematography, a motion picture as incredible as THE BEYOND demands to be seen in the theater, especially with a
full audience of rabid horror fans. Grindhouse has taken a lot of criticism for holding
back the long-anticipated laserdisc release of THE BEYOND
(which will be without doubt worth the wait, with a beautiful new digital transfer, stereo
surround soundtrack, commentary from Catriona MacColl and the late, great David Warbeck
and dozens of supplemental extras including an on-set interview with Lucio Fulci, foreign
trailers, dozens of stills and publicity materials, and lots of
other surprises). However, when we realized that we had a good chance of obtaining a big
theatrical release for THE BEYOND, we put all of this silly
video stuff on the shelf.
And now, after almost two years of negotiating and planning, the impending theatrical
release of THE BEYOND is a reality, as Grindhouse Releasing enters into a partnership with
Quentin Tarantino's Rolling Thunder Pictures and New York specialty distributor Cowboy
Films to present THE BEYOND in all its widescreen glory on the
giant screen!!!! No sell-outs here. The deal almost went up in flames (and deservedly so)
when
it looked as if releasing the movie to theaters would require censorship at the hands of
the MPAA fascists to obtain an R-rating, but we refused the easy route and fought to keep
Lucio's vision fully intact and unexpurgated. We would have rather burned the picture than
cut it. Even though this fight
caused the release to be delayed by almost a year, ultimately, we prevailed with the help
of the tireless, freedom-fighting staffs of both Rolling Thunder and Cowboy Films. And the
ability to enjoy the uncut wonders of THE BEYOND on the big
screen in these ultra-conservative, politically correct, Orwellian
'90's will be an experience enough to restore everyone's will to live and faith in cinema.
Alright everyone, here is the information that you have been waiting for. Grindhouse Releasing in association with Rolling Thunder Pictures and Cowboy Booking International are giving Lucio Fulci's masterpiece "The Beyond" a nationwide theatrical release kicking off on Friday June 12 with midnight shows in seven cursed theaters in the seven dreaded cities -- New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Austin, Toronto, and Boston. More details on the theatrical release (UNDER SCHEDULE) and the pending laserdisc forthcoming.
