As I already mentioned, Wicked is doing a "30 days 30 news" announcement run for us to advertise what we can expect in 2021. Being busy and sick I wasn't able to keep up, so after THE WIND (tagged as Mediabook), SILENT MOVIE (not tagged as Mediabook, so maybe not a Mediabook) and COUNT DRACULA (not tagged as Mediabook?!? But that would be strange for this title, now, wouldn't it?), I have a couple of thinks to catch up to with you. The first announcement in this "backlog" that I haven't shared with you is this release:

This 1977 italian-canadian moive was directed by Gianfranco Parolini (as Frank Kramer) and tells the story of Professor Henry Wassermann, who discovered a Yeti on an expedition in Arctic, revives it and brings it back to Toronto, where companies try to use it for marketing reasons.

This movie can be considered as the Italian contribution to the Ape-like-giant-monster-movies, as in 1976, John Guillermins KING KONG remake was a huge success, and though it is called Yeti, Parolinis movie is more like King Kong than like the Yeti we see in the 1957s Hammer movie THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN.

Wicked has not any infos on bonuses and extras, but it is tagged as Mediabook, so we can expect a 2-disc release and a booklet. So, nothing more to say, just point you to the trailer - unfortunately, once more I couldn't find any English language trailers for this one, only really really bad quality illegal uploads of the full movie that'll definitely be blocked soon. There also seems to be no other release of this one on Blu-ray anywhere in the world. An Amaray with slipcover release was announced for Canada and USA for "early this year", but I couldn't find an actual release, so this could well become a world premiere. It definitely is a German and probably European premiere on HD. More over this was also never released on DVD, so the only way one could own this, was on VHS. I don't know the situation in other countries, but given this is a really special interest movie, I guess it could be similar around the world, which would also explain these really horrible quality uploads.

So I hope once more you can forgive me, for posting the trailer in German - but hey: Better a trailer you cannot understand, than no trailer at all, wouldn't you agree?
