Feb. 23rd is the date and CYCLOPS is the project.
Anchor Bay today sent along word that they are teaming up with the one and only Roger Corman to bring us a legendary tale. Here's the info that they sent along:
Famed producer Roger Corman and the director of the
upcoming Wrong Turn 3 bring to life
an ancient creature when Anchor Bay Entertainment unleashes Cyclops on
DVD
February 24, 2009. With a high-powered cast including
Academy Award®-nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight, “Heroes”), Kevin Stapleton
(“One Life To Live”), Frida Farrell (Contract Killers), and Craig Archibald
(Capote), the
DVD release of Cyclops comes cloaked in a
luminescent, embossed “O” card and includes graphic scenes of carnage not seen
during its original Sci-Fi Channel broadcast.
The
Roman Empire is at its zenith.
A time of mighty gladiators, lusty women, abundant wealth – and a ferocious
one-eyed monster that slaughters those foolish enough to enter his forest
domain. The corrupt Emperor Tiberius (Academy Award®-nominee Eric Roberts) has a
plan to please the bloodlust of the people: capture the creature and unleash him
in the arena against his condemned slaves, including wrongfully imprisoned
General Marcus Romulus (Kevin Stapleton, “One Life to Life”). Now, the ultimate
battle between man and beast is about to commence…and
Rome will taste the full fury of
Hell unleashed!
No one does it like Corman and we all know what Anchor Bay brings to the table so I think there is reason to a bit excited about this announcement.
