I really wanted to add some levity to otherwise really sad situation with the death of Nick Pope. Take a moment and listen to this hilarious story with him.
The Guardian published a poignant piece about my longtime author friend Dan Simmons: “He defied literary norms by writing across genres, switching between major publishers, and defying pressure to conform to formulaic novels.”

William Friedkin's SORCERER (1977) • Entering the collection in June! https://t.co/zpAlsFlgLz
A hallucinatory journey into the heart of darkness, Friedkin’s pulse-pounding reimagining of the suspense classic THE WAGES OF FEAR was dismissed upon its release, only to be recognized decades later as one of the boldest auteur statements of the New Hollywood.

In this dystopian masterpiece, Jonathan Pryce plays a daydreaming everyman who finds himself caught in the soul-crushing gears of a nightmarish bureaucracy.
“I believe life is a continuum, and that no one really dies, they just drop their physical body and we'll all meet again, like the song says. It's sad but it's not devastating if you think like that... We're all going to be fine at the end of the story.” — David Lynch
With our first announcement, we are thrilled to reveal Umbrella’s new UNCUT 4K restoration of the post-apocalyptic gladiator showdown THE SALUTE OF THE JUGGER (aka THE BLOOD OF HEROES), supervised by cinematographer David Eggby (Mad Max) and starring the iconic Rutger Hauer, Joan Chen, and Vincent D’Onofrio.
Dog skulls on sticks, tires for helmets, underground cities, and wounds sewn shut with fish hooks. A future where pride comes before life and dust coats every inch of skin where there isn’t dried blood. Dreams of heroics with no choice but to bite, scratch, and claw - tooth and nail - to victory!
Directed by the writer of Blade Runner and Unforgiven, David Webb Peoples, and featuring Toecutter/Immortan Joe himself Hugh Keays-Byrne, this dystopian action sci-fi utilises the barren Australian outback as an endless arena for brutal head-to-head and head-to-hammer face-offs between hardened teams of Juggers.
A spiritual successor to the Mad Max franchise, featuring even more crossover from editor Richard Francis-Bruce to actor Max Fairchild, this collision of cinematic worlds remains one of the most underrated films of its era and returns now to bolster its status as a stone-cold cult classic!
The Salute of the Jugger joins our recent slate of 4K restorations including Hardware, Wake in Fright, Lake Mungo, Black Sheep, and even more to be announced this week.
