Another Comet on the Way

[via SciFilm] There are few things worth remembering about the 80s, but I’m thrilled to report they’re making a sequel of one of them. A personal fave film of the 80s, Night of the Comet (1984) -- and with the original cast, writer, and director -- is making a second slow pass of the planet Earth.

Leading lady Kelli Maroney (the scream-queen star of CHOPPING MALL, SLAYGROUND, etc.) and writer-director Thom Eberhardt are producing the update and hoping to recruit Maroney's original castmates Catherine Mary Stewart (THE LAST STARFIGHTER) and Robert Beltran (STAR TREK VOYAGER) to join her in reprising their roles.

It surpasseth understanding entirely that the widely cherished original film has never been released as a DVD, but I can only assume that this appalling omission will be corrected as the sequel generates some interest of its own and sparks some memories.
