Special Features Announced for Scream Factory’s ‘The Lawnmower Man’ Blu-ray
Earlier in the year we announced that Scream Factory would be unleashing Brett Leonard’s The Lawnmower Man onto Blu-ray this June 20, 2017. At the time, they were still working on the extras and what not, and today we can reveal the full list of special features included and yes, it will feature the director’s cut.
Synopsis: Dr. Lawrence Angelo (Pierce Brosnan) is a brilliant scientist obsessed with perfecting virtual reality software. When his experiments on animals fail, he finds the ideal substitute – Jobe Smith (Jeff Fahey), a slow-witted gardener. Dr. Angelo’s goal is to benefit his human guinea pig and ultimately mankind itself, but evil lurks the guise of “the Shop,” a shadowy group that seeks to use the technology to create an invincible war machine. When the experiments change the simple Jobe into a superhuman being, the stage is set for a Jekyll-and-Hyde struggle for the control of Jobe’s mind and the future of the world.
