The above says it all...at least for now! This past Friday, Kino Lorber posted on their Facebook page the word that the 1980 mini-series The Martian Chronicles, based on the classic story by Ray Bradbury, is coming back to DVD in 2018. And debuting in Blu-ray format, too! The show was first released on disc in 2004, with MGM putting it out. Now Kino Lorber is giving the show a new high-definition master, and creating their new DVDs and Blu-rays with the entire uncut mini-series. A specific release date isn't finalized yet, nor pricing or package art. But KL has provided the following image at their Facebook page, to tease us all with! Our thanks to longtime reader John Cerone for pointing out the info to us. Stay tuned for updates!
