Posted December 24, 2025 07:44 PM by

Severin Films will issue a standard 4K Blu-ray release of Robert Fuest's The Final Programme (1973), starring Jon Finch, Jenny Runacre, Sterling Hayden, Harry Andrews, and Hugh Griffith. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on March 31.

Description: For more than 50 years, it's been called "endlessly inventive" (The Guardian), "audaciously bonkers" (Frame Rated) and "unlike any movie you've ever seen" (B&S About Movies). Now experience the "weird gem that needs to be celebrated" (Mondo Bizarro) in UHD for the first time ever: In this premier adaptation of a Michael Moorcock novel, writer/director/production designer Robert Fuest (THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES, THE DEVIL'S RAIN) unleashes Moorcock's lethal dandy genius Jerry Cornelius (Jon Finch of Hitchcock's FRENZY and Polanski's MACBETH) into a mind-melting conspiracy of mad scientists, pinball nuns and immortal ambisexuals bent on world domination. Jenny Runacre (THE PASSENGER), Sterling Hayden (THE KILLING) and Harry Andrews (THE NIGHTCOMERS) co-star in this "stylish acid comedy" (Boston Phoenix) – also known as LAST DAYS OF MAN ON EARTH – now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative by StudioCanal, with 6+ hours of Special Features that include audio commentaries, video essays and a revealing new on camera interview with Michael Moorcock.
