JACOB’S LADDER Returns To Theaters To Haunt Your Nightmares In Newly-Restored 4K
Adrian Lyne's 1990 psychological horror cult classic stars Tim Robbins as a Vietnam vet plagued by his past.
Adrian Lyne's psychological horror nightmare Jacob's Ladder is heading back to theaters across the nation from October 9 in newly-remastered 4K thanks to Rialto Pictures and Studiocanal.
Originally released in 1990, Jacob's Ladder stars Tim Robbins, Elizabeth Peña and Danny Aiello, was written by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin (Ghost) and follows:
Jacob Singer (Robbins), a Vietnam War veteran plagued with troubling hallucinations and traumatic flashbacks, struggles to maintain his sanity as his terrible past invades his waking life. As girlfriend Jezzie (Peña) and chiropractor friend Louis (Aiello) try to help him find balance, Jacob only descends further into madness and despair.
Although only a moderate success at the time, Jacob's Ladder has gone on to become a firm cult classic, influencing everything from the Silent Hill video game franchise to Ryan Murphy's American Horror Story series.
The new Jacob's Ladder restoration will have its World Premiere at Los Angeles' Beyond Fest on September 28, before opening at the IFC Center in New York City on October 3, with a national rollout to follow. An official press release tells us the tech specs, that the restoration was completed by ROUNDABOUT – USA from the original negative scanned and restored in 4K. The color grading and restoration was supervised by Lyne himself, as well as Delphine Roussel and Jean-Pierre Boiget.
