Christopher Reeve’s most underrated movie is coming to 4K
No matter who steps in to fill the shoes, Christopher Reeve will be known as Superman in cinema for an eternity. But outside the role, Reeve would also show that he could be even more than just the Man of Steel. Blu-ray.com has just reported on the release of the romantic time-travel drama Somewhere in Time in ultra-high definition. The 1980 film starred Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour, Christopher Plummer, Teresa Wright, and George Voskovec. The new physical media disc comes from Kino Lorber and is due to hit retailers on February 10.
The description for the 4K release reads,
“In 1972, playwright Richard Collier (Christopher Reeve) becomes fascinated by a photo of Elise McKenna (Jane Seymour), a turn-of-the-century stage actress, while staying at the Grand Hotel in Mackinac Island, Michigan. As Richard’s obsession grows, he learns from a friend that time travel may actually be possible through hypnosis. Richard travels in time to meet Elise, and the two appear destined to be together. However, Elise’s jealous manager (Christopher Plummer) attempts to keep them apart.”
