Lost Soul: the Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley’s Island of Dr. Moreau (2014) [Blu-ray]

In 1995, visionary writer/director Richard Stanley (HARDWARE, DUST DEVIL) got the green light for his dream project: An epic adaptation of H.G. Wells’ ‘ The Island Of Doctor Moreau’ starring Marlon Brandoand Val Kilmer. But only days into production, an unprecedented storm of natural disasters, monstrous egosand disturbing imagery – along with chaos, insanity and witchcraft – would trigger perhaps the most infamous behind-the-scenes catastrophe in modern movie history. Now director/producer David Gregory (THE THEATRE BIZARRE, PLAGUE TOWN) reveals the untold story behind “one of the all-time greatest cinematic train wrecks” (Variety) in this “wonderfully weird and gripping”(Entertainment Weekly) documentary featuring never-before-seen footage, startling new interviews with actors Fairuza Balk, Marco Hofschneiderand Rob Morrow, studio executives, crew members and – for the first time ever – the notoriously reclusive Stanley himself.
