FARSCAPE
STARBURST EDITION 3.3
Ninth Volume in the
Popular Starburst Series
ADV Films is pleased
to announce the ninth installment of its wildly successful Farscape:
Starburst Edition series, with an expanded and updated volume
that takes us through to the season finale of the third season in
the classic sci-fi series. Farscape: Starburst Edition 3.3
will be available everywhere DVDs are sold on April 11.
Farscape is an adventure as broad and weird as the universe
- full of strange creatures, bizarre twists, irreverent humor,
raucous action, passion, and romance! Produced in Australia by The
Jim Henson Company and Hallmark Entertainment, Farscape has
been called "The Best Sci-Fi on TV," by TV Guide, and
hailed as "TV's Best Space Series" by USA Today. Farscape
also received the Saturn Award for Best Syndicated/Cable Series
three years in a row (2001, 2002, 2003).
Who is John Crichton? An astronaut. Good-looking, all-American,
nice guy lost somewhere in a crazy universe. A hero who's been
probed, prodded, framed, frozen, and frelled by alien life forms
more bizarre than anything in Captain Kirk's wildest dreams. Who
is John Crichton (Ben Browder)? Did we mention he's in love with a
beautiful ex-commando named Aeryn (Claudia Black)? Did we mention
he's been cloned? Two Crichtons so identical even he can't tell
who's the original. One Crichton gets the girl of his/her/their
dreams. The other gets left behind. One Crichton dies. The other
goes toe-to-toe against death itself, in the form of a sadistic
military leader searching for a secret that will forever alter the
balance of power in the universe. It's hidden deep in Crichton's
impenetrable human subconscious, where even he can't find it. Toss
in a dysfunctional crew of quarreling alien ex-cons onboard a
bio-mechanoid ship with a neurotic Pilot and you've got a hint of
the incredible Farscape universe. But only a hint.
Praised by TV Guide as one of the "25 Top Cult Shows
Ever," Farscape is an adventure as broad and weird as
the universe - full of strange creatures, bizarre twists,
irreverent humor, raucous action, passion, and romance! Produced
in Australia with the incredible talents of Jim Henson's Creature
Shop, Farscape is the
fantasy-scifi-drama-romance-comedy-adventure you will always
remember!
