THE BLACK HOLE (1979) Lobby Cards

Here are a set  of really cool color lobby cards from 1979's epic cinematic space opera, The Black Hole. (Currently my #1 most desired HD Blu-Ray upgrade - get on the ball, Disney!)

  1. Maximillian, still one of the best Sci Fi robot designs ever!

  2. I don't care what the critics and fanboys have griped about. I still love this movie, despite the science goofs. And I really do not want to see a remake.

  3. The Cygnus is still up there as one of my favorite ships. Maximillian's still a badass, and the ending still creeps me out.

    No remake for me.

    This baby is a classic.

  4. No picture of VINCENT... I'm kind of surprised!

    I love the movie, too, although I recognize it has some unevenness to the pacing and tone. However, I'd like to see a remake, just because there is always a chance they could make a good one.

    I do wonder if a remake today would dare include the dark and creepy elements of the original (one of it's great successes, in my opinion.) I do think that the original holds up... it has the same strengths and flaws today as it did back then.

  5. While I would try to be open-minded about any remake, I'm much more interested in seeing Disney clean-up and re-master the original film for high definition Blu-Ray.

    But - since they've shown so little interest in the title over the years, and the regular DVD release(s) were so shabby, I doubt we'll see any sort of home video upgrade unless there is a remake.

  6. At least the US DVD has the Overture on it. I ended up importing it. Ah the joys of being a scifi geek in Australia

  8. I believe those cards were released in the collectors tin in the mid to late 90s.
