invasionsn_cvmtph_pr.jpgWhen filmy spores fall from space and take root in San Francisco, the city is beautifully transformed by spectacular and exotic flowers. But, these lovely extraterrestrial blossoms have gruesome plans for their earthly admirers: to slowly clone their bodies and then dispose of the originals!

“A first-rate suspense thriller” (Newsday), this sci-fi adventure is a “chilling” (Leonard Maltin), “dazzling” (The New York Times) and “stunning” (Cosmopolitan) thrill ride that will send your pulse rate soaring! From a brilliant screenplay by Academy Award nominee W.D. Richter, filmmaker Philip Kaufman directs an all-star cast that includes Donald Sutherland, Jeff Goldblum, Brooke Adams and Leonard Nimoy. With its mesmerizing style and awe-inspiring special effects, “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” is “a classic of the genre” (New York Post) a terrifying tale that “literally chills the blood” (The Hollywood Reporter). “Sutherland sells it, making it worthy of the 1956 Kevin McCarthy original” (Slice of SciFi).

    This is a great movie, but I’d rather a nice Special Edition of the 1956 original.

    While I’m on the topic, you guys were talking about the new Nicole Kidman version (simply called “The Invasion”) in the show, and Mike said something about “The Puppet Masters”.

    Mike, were you getting that (which was based on a Heinlein novel) confused with this 1978 version, as they both feature Donald Sutherland?
