After facing the bladed boogeyman in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors and instilling a unique brand of law and order in the first two RoboCop movies, respectively, Jennifer Rubin and Peter Weller went up against deadly manmade weapons in 1995's Screamers. Written by Dan O'Bannon and based on Philip K. Dick's short story "Second Variety," Screamers is coming to Blu-ray on January 29th from Scream Factory, and the full list of special features has now been revealed, including a new interview with Rubin.
From the Press Release: "Based on a short story by Philip K. Dick, the science-fiction thriller Screamers will make its Blu-ray debut January 29th, 2019 from Scream Factory. Starring Peter Weller (Robocop) and Jennifer Rubin (A Nightmare on Elm Street 3, Bad Dreams, The Crush) and featuring a screenplay by Dan O’Bannon, Screamers also includes a number of new bonus features, including new interviews with director Christian Duguay, producer Tom Berry, co-writer Miguel Tejada-Flores and actress Jennifer Rubin.

The year is 2078. The man is rebel Alliance Commander Col. Joseph Hendrickson (Peter Weller), assigned to protect the Sirius 6B outpost from ravage and plunder at the hands of the New Economic Bloc. His state-of-the-art weaponry are known as Screamers; manmade killing devices programmed to eliminate all enemy life forms. Screamers travel underground; their intent to kill announced by piercing shrieks. They dissect their victims with precision, then eradicate all traces of the carnage. They are lethal. Effective. Tidy. And somehow, they are mutating … self-replicating into human form … and slaughtering every beating heart on the planet.
