Dan O'Bannon Tribute:
When filmmaker Dan O'Bannon died in December at the age of 63, the American genre cinema lost one of its most entertaining, unique voices. The Cinematheque pays tribute to O'Bannon with two of his best films, DARK STAR and THE RESURRECTED. Double Feature:
Director’s Cut World Premiere!
THE RESURRECTED, 1992, Scotti Brothers Picture Distribution, 108 min. Dir. Dan O’Bannon. Private detective John March (John Terry) investigates the mysterious activities of Charles Dexter Ward (Chris Sarandon), an occultist obsessed with finding the secret to resurrecting the dead. It soon becomes apparent that Ward is using his neighbors as guinea pigs.
Rare Archival Print!
DARK STAR, 1974, Jack H. Harris Enterprises, 83 min. Director John Carpenter’s first feature is a hilariously lo-fi space epic about a shaggy-dog crew stuck on a spaceship with an alien that resembles a walking beach ball and a thinking time-bomb intent on blowing itself to smithereens. Co-screenwriter Dan O’Bannon co-stars as Pinback.
