JOURNEY TO THE FAR SIDE OF THE SUN new DVD

Universal will be releasing this in June on R1 DVD. The previous R1
release by Image Entertainment is long out of print.

That is great news, I've long wanted a copy of this film on DVD. Wonder if there will be any digital remastering and / or extras... ?

The phrase "walking on thin ice" comes to mind with some ebay material(!)

The movie seems to be almost "forgotten", which is a shame, and the special effects for it's time were top notch. I love the strange "parallel universe UFO" feel that the movie has... It's like one big expensive "try-out" for the UFO series ha ha ha!

I have the original DVD, which I bought before it was deleted.

I really hope they add some extras, as the original didn't

even have a *menu* to speak of - as basic a DVD as is possible

to make!

Last time I did an ebay search, there were interesting

related items, one of which states:



"****Compliant with all laws and regulations of copyright because of age of this movie and it being openly avaliable in the public domain with format being as per Ebay regulations on such material.***"



Mmm. Caveat Emptor.



Best,

The old DVD was also letterboxed and the image suffered as a result. Hopefully the new Universal DVD will have 16x9 enhancement. Extras will probably be limited to a trailer; the cost versus return would probably be prohibative.

It also should be put out with it's proper UK title - Doppelganger, and not the bogus US one - Journey to the Far Side of the Sun.

Excellent! I did look for one of the original DVDs a
while back, but balked at paying the huge 'out of
print' prices on ebay and elsewhere.

Hey, giving things bogus new names is one of many charming American
traits. If we went around being proper and respectful all the time
we might get mistaken for Canadians or something. :)

That said, Paramount did produce some decent extras for Danger: Diabolik! (1967) a film just as culty and obscure. Gerry Anderson stuff probabaly has about the same level of cult-ness as Mario Bava's stuff in the US, so I suppose it is possible a commentary may be possible. Lets not hold our breath though.

Very cool news.

I would think it will be remastered.

It's been a while since I have seen the movie. But yep. It did have that
parallel/alternative universe "UFO" feel to it.

<< It also should be put out with it's proper UK title - Doppelganger, and not

I think they will use the US title mostly because it's best known be that
title. But it would be nice if they did use the proper title.

<< The old DVD was also letterboxed and the image suffered as a result.

I would like to think they might either 1. put out both a wide and a full
screen copy. Or 2. a double sided dvdv with both versions. I try to by any
movie I can full screen. I just really hate wide screen.

As happy as I am to gear that JTTFSOTS is coming out. I would just LOVE to see
a similar themed film also get released on to dvd. It was a 1973 made for TV
{planned TV pilot} Called The Stranger starring Glenn Corbett as astronaut Neil
Stryker and Cameron Mitchell as Government agnet Benedict. It's been many yrs.
since I have last seen it shown {badly cut} on TV.

Anyone here remeber this movie? It would have made a wonderful series.

Some M4TV movies have started to turn up on dvd. I hope someday this one and
many more also get out on dvd. Remastered, uncut and clean.

A lady can hope can't she.

So that WAS real....

Back when I was a teenager I remember seeing that....
and then never heard a trace of it since. I missed the first
part of the movie, but remember bits of the latter part.
I also remember the guy's name being Stryker, and there
was some sort of a vast government entity on the other
planet searching for him, and there being these little radio
speakers in the native's pickup trucks giving out the
government orders and search news.

I began to wonder if it was a real movie or if I'd just imagined
seeing it.

The same thing happened for another movie I think I've seen -
where mankind sends these two ships to Mars in a race;
The earth is divided up into two hemispheres, North and South,
hostile to each other (like the cold war), and each side sends
a ship, (one named Typhoon, the other named Hyperion), and
they race to get to Mars first. I think it was in black and white
maybe made in the 50's or 60's.

I've made an exhaustive internet search for it but can't find a clue.
Has anybody else heard of it, or know what I'm talking about?

Dave, I think I've seen that movie about the race to mars. Here in Australia, they used to put all those type movies on in the early morning during school holidays. A lot were b/w. I saw Doppelganger then and Battle beneath the Earth and have never seen any of them since. That was back in the good old days when all the regional TV stations were independent, now they are all owned by the big networks sigh. But they did have Day of the Triffids on Fox classics the other night in b/w. (Now there is a movie begging to be remade, hopefully more like the book) I hope it's a sign they are digging through the archives.

Isn't it a bit ironic that the USA, which is known as one of the
most powerful nations in the world, and by extension one of the most
intelligent, has to have some titles/words/phrases replaced if they
are deemed "too complicated"? Not just Doppleganger, which they had
dumbed down to JTTFSOTS. The 1989 Bond movie which was to be called
Licence Revoked was given a slightly dumbed down title of Licence To
Kill, for example. A lot of UK TV shows never get sold to the US
without them interfering with them because sometimes they can't
understand the accents, but we get all their shows, regardless of
whether we understand them or not.

This isn't a bit of US-bashing, by the way, just an observation,
before someone accuses me of being xenophobic. A few of my
favourite shows come from the US of A, such as WKRP and Airwolf.

Getting back to the subject in hand, I wouldn't mind seeing
Doppleganger on DVD. But without the dumbed down title. I recently
copied it to DVD from when it was shown on ITV a year or so ago
myself, but the picture quality is a bit off. I wonder - is that
the DVD, or one of them at least, that turns up on Ebay sometimes?  
But was there ever a print of the film with Doppelganger as the main
title?

And see that DVD is planned street date is June 24, 2008. Also, it is possible to see pretty much awful cover.
All the best,

Thanks, Branko.
I agree that the new cover is disappointing - the original
wasn't up to much, but was certainly better than this!
