I can confirm that there is a Region 1 DVD of this movie in the works, I believe it will be a Media Blasters release, and will feature both the standard theatrical cut of FORBIDDEN WORLD as well as the original 86 minute "director's cut" titled MUTANT as a bonus feature. Alan Holzman has recorded an interview for the disc, I was presuming it was going to be a Christmas 2009 release but have not heard or seen anything.
shareI hope so, this is a pretty solid b Sci-fi/horror film.
shareI e-mailed Media Blasters but they failed to reply, so in light of what I learned over at http://www.dvddrive-in.com/ about Shout! Factory acquiring some of Corman's movies from his New World Library, I emailed them about this one and GALAXY OF TERROR:
Here's my original query:
Shout!
I just learned you're releasing some Roger Corman Cult Classics, does this mean you have access to FORBIDDEN WORLD & GALAXY OF TERROR? They would make a great double feature, if you do.
And here's their sweet response, I think it speaks for itself:
Thank you for being a fan! As it happens we do have access to those films, and while I cannot as yet tell you when or how they will be released, you can expect them in 2010.
Sincerely, Shout Factory
Can't wait for this DVD to be released.
I want the following:
Forbidden World
Galaxy of Terror
Humanoids from the Deep

Yes indeed. So far all of the releases in Shout! Factory's Roger Corman Cult Classics line have been superb.
Their edition of FORBIDDEN WORLD looks fantastic, is loaded with extras -- and bargain-priced to boot!
Luxuriate in the eclectic...
