John Carpenter's Dark Star Unknown

| Unknown

Dark Star 2025 4K Edition (Remastered from Original 35mm Film Reels)This definitive 4K restoration has been expertly restored from the original 35mm film reels, bringing John Carpenter's cult sci-fi classic to stunning ultra-high definition. The soundtrack has been digitally enhanced and fully restored in Dolby Digital 5.1, ensuring the most immersive viewing experience yet. The Film From John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing) and Dan O'Bannon (Alien, Total Recall) comes this brilliantly clever and darkly funny parody of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Dark Star follows a dysfunctional... intergalactic mission where four bored astronauts are assigned to destroy unstable planetsbut end up filling their time with sun-lamp tanning, playing with a mischievously plastic-looking alien mascot, and conversing with their ship's increasingly erratic AI. As the mission unravels, a rogue smart bomb gains self-awareness and starts questioning its existence, believing itself to be a god. With catastrophe looming, only one crew memberan ex-surferfinds an unorthodox way to return to Earth: riding a piece of debris back home like a cosmic surfboard. Originally a 73-minute USC student film, Dark Star was expanded into a theatrical release after producer Jack Harris encouraged Carpenter and O'Bannon to add an extra 10 minutes. This special edition includes both versions and is packed with exclusive bonus features that dive deep into the film's controversial production, groundbreaking special effects, and legacy.

Doolittle), cinematographer Doug Knapp, art director Tommy Lee Wallace, visual effects artist Greg Jein, voice artist Cookie Knapp, producer Jack Harris, and USC alumni Jeff Burr.
