George A. Romero's Lost Film 'The Amusement Park' Coming To Blu-ray

George A. Romero’s Lost Film ‘The Amusement Park’ Coming To Blu-ray

Recently, a lost film, George A. Romero‘s The Amusement Park, was discovered and restored 46 years after its completion. Now, The Amusement Park is coming to Blu-ray and DVD. In the “Certified Fresh” film, Lincoln Maazel stars as an elderly man who finds himself disoriented and increasingly isolated as the pains, tragedies, and humiliations of aging in America are manifested through roller coasters and chaotic crowds. Commissioned by the Lutheran Society, the film is perhaps Romero’s wildest and most imaginative movie – an allegory about the nightmarish realities of growing older, and an alluring snapshot of the filmmaker’s early artistic capacity and style. The “lost” film was restored in 4K by IndieCollect in New York City. Blu-ray and DVD Bonus Features Include: Audio Commentary with Michael Gornick Re-Opening The “Park” with Suzanne Desrocher-Romero Bill & Bonnie’s Excellent Adventure with Bonnie Hinzman For Your Amusement with Artist Ryan Carr Panel Interview with Suzanne Desrocher-Romero, Sandra Schulberg, Greg Nicotero, and Daniel Kraus
