Defragging ReBoot for DVD
Shout! Factory has partnered with Rainmaker Entertainment, Inc., to bring the cult Saturday-morning fave ReBoot to DVD. Binary jokes aside — though they are plentiful within the show — ReBoot, which debuted in 1994, goes down in history as the first fully computer-generated animated TV series, putting it well ahead of its time. Set within a computer mainframe, the program’s wit centers around computer and gaming lingo that could make your head swim in 0s and 1s. Look for ReBoot: Seasons One and Two in stores and a series collector’s set on ReBoot.com in early Spring 2011.
Speaking of the ReBoot DVD release… We’ve launched an art contest and are looking for the most unique rendition of your favorite ReBoot characters. Brendan McCarthy, a highly celebrated artist and the original production designer of ReBoot Seasons 1 to 3, will select five entries deemed as the most distinctive to be showcased in the series collector’s set in 2011. Winner(s) will also receive a complimentary copy of the complete series set. More details available at ReBoot.com. Deadline is December 3, with winners announced on December 13.
DARKSTAR is Almost Here!
After ten years in production, the long-anticipated DARKSTAR: The Interactive Movie starring Mystery Science Theater 3000 cast members Joel Hodgson, Trace Beaulieu, Frank Conniff, Mary Jo Pehl, J. Elvis Weinstein and Beez McKeever hits the streets (November 5). It’s a rock ’n’ roll, sci-fi, stuff-blowing-up epic space opera that you watch like a feature film, but YOU direct the story and adventure on your PC or Mac, just like a video game. Buy it here, download it here (after November 5) and get more info here.
