Featuring the virtual reality that is now part of our daily lives
It predicted a world where computers rule and man retreats into a cyberworld of virtual reality that ends up taking over your life…The Lawnmower Man, initially released almost 20 years ago, is a smartly prescient film that pre-dated the Internet and is now set to return in a new director’s cut.
The Lawnmower Man Director’s Cut will be released as a stunning two-disc set, complete with a stunning array of bonus features including Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace on 25 October 2010 courtesy of Universal’s cutting edge indi VISION imprint.
Starring a pre-Bond Pierce Brosnan as a scientist experimenting in virtual reality worlds, looking at “intelligence enhancement”, and Jeff Fahey (Lost, Planet Terror) as a slow-witted gardener who becomes his test subject, The Lawnmower Man boasts groundbreaking special effects and a neat line in predicting the march towards the computer-dominated future.
