File under "Oh Hell Yes!" - PHASE IV, ZPG, more on DVD!

The folks over at DVD Drive-In have broken the news that Legend Films has acquired the rights to a number of back-catalog titles from Paramount, including Saul Bass' mind-blowing man vs. ant saga Phase IV! Other titles skedded for issue via Legend include overlooked '80s gem The Sender (it'll almost make you forgive director Roger Christian for Battlefield Earth), fondly-recalled genre spoof Student Bodies, and dystopian sci-fi must-see ZPG.

Legend has here-to-fore been known for budget re-issues and (gulp) colorized versions of classics, so here's hoping their work on these titles will reflect the solid nature of the catalog they've acquired. Worth noting, too, that they're home to work by MST3K alum Mike Nelson. Look for a release via Legend's website on April 1st, and find them in stores this June / July.
