Film Chest Announces The Release Of The Apocalyptic Sci-Fi Series Grand Star On Blu-ray This Coming June 25

Just when you think that there is nothing new under the sun, or at least in the world of physical media, up pops the Film Chest with something totally unexpected.

This would be the 2007 Canadian-produced sci-fi series Grand Star, based on French writer Georges-Jean Arnaud’s comic book series, “La Compagnie des Glaces.”  

This super-rare apocalyptic series has been restored, complete with all 26 episodes and will be released as a double-disc Blu-ray set on June 25.

A devastating nuclear disaster on the Moon has plunged the Earth into an Ice Age.  It is world run by tyrants, plus strange creatures roam the planet that seem to be immune to the cold.   There are few survivors, and even fewer who have any concept of the past (knowledge of such things is forbidden).

Cal (played by Tyler Johnston — Pressed, The Odds, Christmas Icetastrophe), has known nothing but a frozen planet, but he lives in relative comfort in one of the protected “railway” stations, run by his father, a geothermal scientist.   However, one day he has a strange “light” vision and, with some friends, he feels compelled to go on a quest of discovery … will it be his doom, or the beginning of a new era on Earth?  

June 25 to discover the answer(s) with Film Chest’s Blu-ray debut of Grand Star.
