DVD cover of Colossus: The Forbin Project

I've always have a soft spot for god-like supercomputers threatening to end all of man-kind in a fiery rain of nuclear annihilation. Which makes Colossus: The Forbin Project one of my all time favorite movies.

Unfortunately, Universal Studios didn't share in my enthusiasm when they released Colossus on DVD with this cover:

Gah!, besides the much over used "giant head" cover design, the movie studio released the DVD only in dreaded pan & scan.

Being the movie connoisseur that I am, I hunted down a laser disc copy of Colossus (in wide screen format) and transferred it to DVD.

And then I had fun giving it the cover it deserved!

  1. Love the DVD cover for Colossus: The Forbin Project!
    I would love to use it in my own collection, but NOT for the current release of the pan-&-scan version.
    You were lucky enough to have made a copy in WIDESCREEN from the laser disc. Is there any possibility of getting a widescreen copy on disc from you? Let me know what you would charge.
    Keep up the good work!
