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

Very cool news.

<< 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...? Dan >>

I would think it will be remastered.

<< 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! Dan >>

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
the bogus US one - Journey to the Far Side of the Sun. Rick >>

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.
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. Rick >>

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.
