Special features for The Dead Zone are in the works and will be announced later. But Scream Factory did confirm a new high definition transfer is included.
David Cronenberg (The Fly, Videodrome) directed The Dead Zone from a screenplay written by Jeffrey Boam (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade) based on the 1979 novel by Stephen King. Christopher Walken and Martin Sheen star. Brooke Adams co-stars with Herbert Lom, Anthony Zerbe, Colleen Dewhurst, and Tom Skerritt.

School teacher Johnny Smith (Chistopher Walken) had a beautiful fiancée, a rewarding career and a fortunate life… until one tragic accident changed everything. After slamming into an 18-wheeler, Johnny is plunged into a five-year coma. When he awakens, he finds his true collision was with destiny – he now has the remarkable gift (or curse) of seeing into the future. From horror master Stephen King and Director David Cronenberg (Scanners, Dead Ringers), this supernatural thriller turns an everyday guy into a reluctant hero… saving children in danger, helping the police and finding a serial killer. But Johnny’s next vision may be his most terrifying yet.
Scream Factory will finally release The Dead Zone, the David Cronenberg classic based on the novel by Stephen King on Collector’s Edition Blu-ray on July 27th.
