Ed Wood’s Masterpiece ‘Plan 9 From Outer Space’ Coming To Blu-Ray!

Published

on

Okay – it’s not a “masterpiece”. It’s actually hailed as “the worst movie ever” (though I’ve seen worse). But Edward D. Wood Jr’s Plan 9 From Outer Space will be hitting Blu-Ray on March 6th!

The gaffes and errors and incompetence should be stunning in 1080P! I find myself wondering if they actually fund a good source print for this thing or if it will be an uprezzed conversion.

In the film, “Aliens fear the human race will develop a deadly “solaranite bomb.” After eight failed attempts, Plan 9 is their scheme to reanimate earth’s dead to build a zombie army and stop the earthlings from destroying the universe.

There are no disc specifications yet, but I don’t see how we can get a better bit of insight than Tim Burton’s 1994 Ed Wood provided.

If you’ve never seen the film, you at least owe yourself the favor of hitting the jump and checking out the trailer.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones.
