Details (as they currently stand) are available at Blu-ray.com

At least the bad news of the day (that the upcoming Blu-ray of Joe Dante’s Piranha is delayed until August 3rd) is tempered with great news, that Luigi Cozzi’s ridiculous spaghetti sci-fi epic Starcrash will be making its hi-definition debut just a month later, on September 7th.  Also newly announced for Blu-ray release is Death Race 2000 (street date June 22nd), recently remade by Paul W.S. Anderson as Death Race.  With Shout! Factory given access to the extensive New World library, we can expect more good things in the future.

Starcrash stars Caroline Munroe (At the Earth’s Core), Marjoe Gortner (Earthquake, Food of the Gods), David Hasselhoff (tv’s Knight Rider), and Christopher Plummer (The Sound of Music).  Special visual effects by Germano Natali (Monster Shark) and Armando Valcauda (Hercules).  Screenplay by Luigi Cozzi and Nat Wachsberger (The Mafia Wants Blood).  Original score by John Barry (King Kong, The Black Hole).  Directed by Luigi Cozzi.
