Omega Entertainment has completed the brand new 2002 versions of all its older
feature films. Working with the fantastic Millennium Machine and some of the
top colorists in Europe at Technicolor's Imaging Facility in London, we re-mastered
(from top quality interpositives and stereo print masters) and have ready for
delivery, fourteen highly commercial features, all with specific sales angles
for DVD and television. The list of features that follows, is now available on
DigiBeta (PAL or NTSC original, not standards conversions) in either 16:9 wide
screen (for DVD and 16:9 television stations) or 4x3 regular for home video and
television. For many of these movies we have German, French, Italian and Spanish
versions. For some of them, we can also provide extra DVD material and easter
eggs, director's interview, making of
segments etc. Your attention should
also be focused on some important extras as Hans Zimmer's music (Academy Award
winning composer, most recently known for Gladiator) for our productions ZERO
BOYS, THE WIND and TERMINAL EXPOSURE. Buyers of these films may include
bonus tracks with Hans Zimmer's haunting score and songs.
Here's what you should consider, in addition to the brilliant visual and acoustic
qualities of the new 2002 versions:
BLIND DATE, Nico Mastorakis' award-winning thriller. Selling points: A computerized
invention that makes a blind man see, years after the movie was made, became
reality; Kirstie Alley is a big Hollywood star; award-winning Valeria Golino
made her first appearance; Marina Sirtis of Star Trek fame gets murdered; music
is by Stanley Myers (Academy Award winner for The Deerhunter)
HIRED TO KILL. The Magnificent Seven with specially trained women commandoes
posing as fashion models, in an attempt to overthrow a totalitarian regime. Three
classic actors (George Kennedy, Jose Ferrer and Oliver Reed, who gave his last
performance as Russel Crow's mentor in Gladiator), magical locations, spectacular
action. Production Designer is Michael Stringer (who was responsible for the
magical settings of The Greek Tycoon). Co-directed by Peter Rader (co-writer
of Waterworld).
IN THE COLD OF THE NIGHT. Unpredictable ending, tense plot, edge-of-your-seat
suspense, hot love scenes and many marquee names in the cast: David Soul (Starsky
and Hutch), John Beck, Marc Singer (The Beastmaster) Shannon Tweed and Hitchcock's
(The Birds) leading lady, Tippi Hedren.
THE WIND (UK version The Edge Of Terror). Perhaps Nico Mastorakis' most visual
and suspenseful thriller. A magical fortress location, Meg Foster, Steve Railsback,
Wings Hauser and Robert Morley, Hans Zimmer's haunting score, brilliant cinematography.
It makes also great TV programming (as it has played on CBS, HBO and other big
networks)
NIGHTMARE AT NOON. A sci-fi action thriller, starring Bo Hopkins, George Kennedy
and Brion James. Entirely shot in Moab, Utah with stunning aerial helicopter
chases, fiery explosions, a great supporting cast and Hans Zimmer's dynamic,
energetic action score.
Screeners for all the above are available on DVD (PAL). Feel free to request
one if you are interested in acquiring any.
TERMINAL EXPOSURE. Venice Beach, intrigue, murder, brilliant young comedians,
sexy females, John Vernon (Animal House) and Ted Lange (Love Boat) among
the cameo cast. Hans Zimmer score and songs, also as bonus tracks in the DVD
version. Also featuring one of The Pretender's hit songs. Released in the US
by United Artists.
SKYHIGH. Action-packed teen comedy, mistaken identity, gorgeous women, the Greek
islands, luxury cruise ships, inventive visuals, Chris De Burgh and Jackie De
Shannon songs.
GLITCH. A typical Hollywood comedy, featuring the young talents of some brilliant
comedians, combined with the skills of veterans like Ted Lange, Dick Cautier
and Julia Nickson. A Malibu mansion filled to the brim with wannabe beauties
becomes the stage of robbery, murder, Mafia revenge and true love all with
sugar and spice. Music and songs by Grammy-award winner Tom Marolda.
NAKED TRUTH. A funny as hell spoof, along the lines of Naked Gun, featuring
the comedy of Zsa Zsa Gabor, Herb Edelman (The Golden Girls) M. Emmet Walsh,
Bubba Smith (Police Academy), Ted Lange, John Vernon, Alex Cord, Shannon Tweed,
Erik Estrada (Chips) Norman Fell (Two's Company) Lou Ferrigno (The Incredible
Hulk) Billy Barty, Dick Gautier, David Birney and some of the most beautiful
women in Los Angeles. A star-studded film for all audiences and all situations.
GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE. Peter Rader (writer of Waterwold) directs from his own
script. Creepy, tense, scary thriller with two kids in amazing performances.
THE TIME TRAVELLER. A movie which will sooth TV audiences and will make their
eyes moist, as it has done when it played on many prestigious TV networks around
the world (the BBC one of them). Adrienne Barbeau (Escape From New York), Keir
Dullea (2002, A Space Odyssey) and a Greek island, wrap this tale of mystery
and friendship between a time traveller, a boy and his dog.
ZERO BOYS. Now, that's what we call horror without gore. This movie has a huge
following and fans all over the world will rejoice with the wide screen DVD version.
A young cast, loose in the wilderness, faced with lethal demented killers.
NINJA ACADEMY. Along the lines of Police Academy, with an ensemble cast and
the fun of learning, in the tough world of martial arts. The movie has played
successfully on HBO and many European satellite channels.
BLOODSTONE. High adventure in India, directed by Dwight Little (Halloween 4,
Murder At 1600, Free Willy 2) with an American couple hunting for the ultimate
ruby and getting chased by half the baddies of the globe. It's like Raiders
and Romancing The Stone, with extra exotic flavor and lots of fun.
The above are available on DVD / NTSC screeners only but those are made from
older masters. New digital master screeners are available on VHS only.
Finally, let us assure you that the brilliant 2002 versions
come with new, contemporary opening credits, lots of improvements in special
effects and are backed by Omega's traditional servicing elements (detailed M&Es,
