Cleopatra 2525 - In the year 2525...

Wow, here's a title that flew in under the radar! We had NO idea that
Universal was working on bringing this nifty sci-fi show to DVD, but
today the studio announced a July 19th release of Cleopatra 2525 -
The Complete Series! Exec Produced by Sam Raimi (Hercules: The
Legendary Journeys, Xena, and the Spider-Man films), and starring
Jennifer Sky as "Cleo", Victoria Pratt as "Rose", and Gina Torres
(Firefly and the last 2 Matrix films) as "Helen".
For those of you who aren't familiar with the show (no surprise,
since it was a syndicated series often tucked away into odd
timeslots), the main character, Cleopatra, was an exotic dancer from
our times (2001) who was accidentally cryogenically frozen until
2525, where she was found and rescued by two female warriors. The
three tough (and hot!) ladies fight together against the monstrous
heavily-armored airborne robots which now rule the surface of the
Earth. Cleo, Rose, and Helen struggle to protect the human community,
which has been driven underground in order to survive.
There were 28 episodes of the series, with 22 of them being a half
hour long, and the final 6 stories moving to an hour-long format.
Universal brings them all to you on 3 DVDs (two of them are double-
sided), containing more than 12.5 hours of action and adventure. Cost
is $49.98 SRP. Video is Full Frame, and audio is English Dolby
Digital 2.0 Stereo. English and Spanish subtitles are also present.
Stay tuned for cover art; we'll bring that to you as soon as we get
it!
Now if Universal would only give us another syndicated series Exec
Produced by Sam Raimi: Jack of All Trades!
