Journey to the outer reaches of terror in "PANDORUM" -- coming to DVD and Blu-ray January 19 from Anchor Bay Entertainment


DENNIS QUAID AND BEN FOSTER ARE ANYTHING BUT ALONE IN OVERTURE FILMS’ "PANDORUM"

On DVD and Blu-ray Tuesday, January 19 From Anchor Bay Entertainment

BEVERLY HILLS, CA -- Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster join Cam Gigandet, newcomer Antje Traue and martial arts phenom Cung Le in Pandorum, the terrifying sci-fi thriller from the creators of the Resident Evil film franchise, available on DVD and Blu-ray Tuesday, January 19th from Anchor Bay Entertainment (Pre-Book December 17th). Directed by Christian Alvart (Antibodies), Pandorum tells the story of two crew members stranded on a spacecraft who quickly--and horrifically--realize they are not alone.

Featuring a supporting cast that includes Eddie Rouse, André Hennicke, and Norman Reedus, Pandorum is the latest collaborative effort by Robert Kulzer, Jeremy Bolt, and Paul W. S. Anderson, the producers behind the hugely successful Resident Evil movie franchise. SRP is $29.98 for the DVD and $39.98 for the Blu-ray edition.

Justine Elias of The Boston Globe said "Pandorum is a dark, disquieting dream worth watching out for." Added Fangoria’s Tony Timpone, "Pandorum is a fever dream mash-up of sci-fi, horror and mystery that will keep you guessing till the action-packed finish."

In Pandorum, two astronauts awaken in a hyper-sleep chamber aboard a seemingly abandoned spacecraft. It’s pitch black, they are disoriented, and the only sound is a low rumble and creak from the belly of the ship. They can’t remember anything: Who are they? What is their mission? With Lt. Payton (Quaid; Vantage Point, The Express) staying behind to guide him via radio transmitter, Cpl. Bower (Foster; 3:10 to Yuma, Alpha Dog) ventures deep into the ship and begins to uncover a terrifying reality. Slowly the spacecraft’s shocking, deadly secrets are revealed--and the astronauts find their own survival is more precarious than they could ever have imagined.

The Pandorum DVD and Blu-ray bonus features include The World of Elysium: Behind-the-Scenes Featurette; What Happened to Nadia’s Team; Flight Team Training Video; Audio Commentary with Director Christian Alvart and Producer Jeremy Bolt; Deleted & Alternate Scenes; Still Galleries; Theatrical Trailer; and Sneak Peeks.
