Beautiful young "Frenchy" (Marie-Pascale Elfman) slides through cosmic intestines into a subterranean world ruled by horny midget King Fausto (Herve Villechaize) and his jealous Queen Doris (Susan Tyrrell). "Chicken-boy" (Matthew Bright, director of FREEWAY) comes to the rescue, only to have his head cut off by the soul-singing Devil himself -- played by Danny Elfman and the original Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo. Frog butlers, topless princesses, and rioting school kids sing and dance in unforgettable musical numbers by Danny Elfman, Cab Calloway, Josephine Baker and others. An experience guaranteed you will never forget! Now in mind-boggling color! Newly remixed Dolby Digital 6 track stereo. Official website. Discussion following with director Richard Elfman and other guests (TBA).
Richard Elfman, aside from his writing and directing talents, was the founding member of "Mystic Knights of the Oingo-Boingo" which included his brother, the hottest film composer in Hollywood today, Danny Elfman. Danny not only composed the original music to Forbidden Zone, but also joined the cast as "Satan." Forbidden Zone delves into the world of the Sixth Dimension with many bizarre twists and turns along the way. The film also stars Herve Villechaize, Susan Tyrrell, Marie-Pascale Elfman and features the music of Oingo-Boingo, Cab Calloway, Josephine Baker and many others.
Newly restored and colorized, fans can now enjoy the film on a whole new level. "I always wanted to see Forbidden Zone in color" said Richard Elfman, director of Forbidden Zone. "Now-25 years later, with the incredible technical assistance and artistic collaboration of Legend Films, we are finally able to present the film as I always intended it-in vivid, glorious, mind-boggling color!"
The movie will be released on DVD on July 29th in widescreen with 5.1 Dolby Digital sound with a DTS 5.1 Soundtrack. The DVD is packed with tons of bonus features including pop-up trivia, extended scenes and the original theatrical trailer in color. "We are thrilled to present for the first time the color version of Forbidden Zone," said Barry Sandrew, PhD, Founder and COO, Legend Films.
