Friday August 9, 2013 11:00PM – WORLD PREMIERE – The unseen “TRANCERS” sequel “TRANCERS 1.5: CITY OF ANGELS” (1987)

In 1988, Charles Band directed the anthology film “PULSESPONDERS” which featured the first TRANCERS sequel. “PULSEPOUNDERS” was shot and edited in 1988 before circumstances prevented it from being released. “PULSEPOUNDERS” was thought to be a lost film. For the last 25 years, “TRANCERS” fans have clamored to see the unseen adventures of Jack Deth!

Recently, a “PULSEPOUNDERS” work print was discovered, and will have it’s World Premiere at Flashback Weekend 2013! “TRANCERS 1.5: CITY OF ANGELS” stars Tim Thomerson (Jack Deth), Helen Hunt (Leena), and the rest of the TRANCERS ensemble.

This World Premiere of “TRANCERS 1.5: CITY OF ANGELS” will be introduced by director Charles Band. The evening will also include special unseen footage from the “TRANCERS” set and many surprises, including a special announcement for fans of stop motion animation!
