The Starlost on DVD!
by Doc on Aug.11, 2008, under General News
I’ve talked about this show before: The Harlan Ellison-created but studio-botched Canadian series that starred 2001: A Space Odyssey‘s Keir Dullea. In fact, I recently managed to gather together my network of spies, etc. and see the series again, but had completely forgotten to write up a Retro Review for it. Well, I may just wait a couple months now and see it at least in DVD quality – the [sfs=859]Complete Series[/sfs] will be released. It doesn’t sound like there will be a lot to it – the 16 filmed episodes, a trailer (which may be the more sales-oriented promo that had Douglas Trumbull talking up fancy special effects that they ended up not using). So now, you too can see just how bad it can be…and there is probably a LONG wait for the movie version, as even rumors of it seem to have died.
