The USA based Kino Lorber, a film distribution company, will be releasing The Phantom movie on Blu-ray, with additional bonus material associated with the making of the movie.

Kino Lorber is a prominent New York-based film distribution company that specializes in independent, art house, and world cinema, as well as the restoration of classic and silent films. Formed in 2009 through the merger of Kino International (founded in 1976) and Lorber HT Digital, the company manages an extensive library of over 4,000 titles and releases approximately 35 films theatrically each year.

The Phantom movie was release on the 7th of June 1996, an Australian-American superhero film directed by Simon Wincer, staring Billy Zane as The Phantom and Kristy Swanson as Diana Palmer. The movie also stars Treat Williams, Catherine Zeta-Jones, James Remar, Hiroyuki Tagawa and Patrick McGoohan. The film’s screenplay by Jeffrey Boam is loosely inspired by three Phantom stories, “The Singh Brotherhood”, “The Sky Band” and “The Belt”.

The description seen on the Kino Lorber website promoting The Phantom movie reads:

A fantastic Billy Zane (Titanic) stars in this thrill-a-minute actioner based on one of the most successful comic series of all time! The story begins as an expedition lands on the island of Bengalla, seeking the legendary skulls of Touganda. Believed to harness an energy force of incalculable power, the skulls could spell disaster for mankind. And that’s exactly what ruthless tycoon Xander Drax (Treat Williams, Deep Rising) has in mind…unless one man can save it. Now evil has met its match and great movie adventure has a new name—The Phantom! Rousingly directed by Simon Wincer (Lonesome Dove, Quigley Down Under) and also starring Kristy Swanson (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Catherine Zeta-Jones (The Mask of Zorro), James Remar (48 Hrs.), Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (Mortal Kombat) and Patrick McGoohan (Escape from Alcatraz).
