STARCRASH DVD nominated for Rondo Hatton award

I’m proud to announce that a project near and dear to my black heart; the long-awaited DVD/Blu-Ray release (thru “Roger Corman’s Classics” series) of the 1978 Itallian STAR WARS rip-off /tour-de-force STARCRASH has been nominated for a 2010 Rondo Hatton award for “Best Commentary”.
Stephen Romano’s 2 feature length (yes, I said TWO!) commentary tracks are truly deserving of your vote. Not content to just detail the behind-the-scenes; he also gives a contextual perspective on the state of world cinema of the 1970’s, and just where the “Summer Blockbuster” mentality all began.
VERY impressive and entertaining at the same time. Among the other plentiful special features is an audio featurette (by yours truly) on the music of John Barry (most well known for his work on the JAMES BOND series). If that wasn’t enough, there is the FILM itself…a colorful, vibrant, work of Sci-fi exploitation made all the better by epic performances by Caroline Munro, a very young David Hasselhoff, and a rather reserved Christopher Plummer.
