Once upon a time I made a giant papier-mâché head of Clash of the Titans villain, Calibos. Yeah, I was obsessed with the film. Greek myths, stop motion animation by the legendary Ray Harryhausen, and Sir Laurence Olivier starring as the all powerful King of the gods, Zeus – Titans has it all. You can understand my excitement then, when I heard that the film would be hitting Blu-ray in a beautiful new Digibook edition. TImed, of course, to support the new big-screen adaptation hitting cinemas next year.
The Neverending Story, another fantasy themed film from the 80s will be released along side it in a bare-bones Blu-ray edition. I recall liking that film well enough when I was young. Maybe even loving the theme song by Limahl. Never enthralled with the movie itself, as I had been with Titans. But I think my pal, Karl was clearly effected by the spookier elements of it all, as he is still scared shitless by even the mention of the evil dark wolf creature, Gmork! I look forward to seeing The Neverending Story again for the first time in years, when both Blu-ray discs are released on March 2nd!
