IN SEARCH OF TOMORROW Documentary Explores ’80s Sci-Fi
Successfully funded through Kickstarter, In Search of Tomorrow: The Definitive ’80s Sci-fi Documentary is now available for pre-order, and a brand new trailer has been released.
The team behind the successful 80s horror documentaries In Search of Darkness is back but instead of looking into the world of horror, they have created an encyclopedia for ’80s sci-fi movies with In Search of Tomorrow. The first trailer has dropped and it’s going to be a must-have for science fiction fans.
A press release announces today, “In Search of Tomorrow, the long-form documentary about ‘80s sci-fi movies from CREATORVC, has recruited director Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters I & II), producer Gale Anne Hurd (The Terminator, Aliens), actor Peter Weller (Robocop, Buckaroo Banzai), and more talent for in-depth interviews looking back on the extensive, beloved era of genre film.”
The team continues, “Executive produced by Robin Block and written/directed by David Weiner (In Search of Darkness Parts I & II), In Search of Tomorrow has added over 25 new names to the cast, including Bruce Boxleitner (TRON), Adrienne Barbeau (Escape from New York, Swamp Thing), Lysette Anthony (Krull), Jesse Ventura (Predator, The Running Man), Julie Brown (Earth Girls Are Easy), Gene Simmons (Runaway), Flight of the Navigator director Randal Kleiser and star Joey Cramer, Mark Goldblatt (The Terminator, RoboCop), John Dykstra (Star Wars, Star Trek), and Stewart Raffill (The Philadelphia Experiment, The Ice Pirates, Mac and Me).”
“In Search of Tomorrow is coming together beautifully. The level of talent participating is a ‘who’s who’ of legendary sci-fi icons, from actors and filmmakers to visionaries and dreamers, and I’m humbled to have the opportunity to sit with them; despite the challenges of indie production in a COVID-complicated environment, we are fortunate to have been able to safely continue our extended interviews. A celebration of imagination in one of the most creatively entertaining decades of film, we are crafting an expansive, four-plus-hour film journey worthy of the amazing content that came out of ’80s sci-fi cinema. I can’t wait for film lovers and true fans of the genre to see it.”
The target for release of In Search of Tomorrow is July 2021. The crowdfunding deadline is May 18th. They have already raised over $250,000, surpassing their goal. The initial release of the doc will be available exclusively to backers. The starting pledge that includes a digital release of the film is $38, which also includes your name in the credits, and a ticket to a virtual premiere watch party. A pledge of around $75 includes a Blu-ray release and additional goodies including a movie poster. Higher-end pledges add producer credits, tickets to the Hollywood premiere, and more VIP privileges.
