Species II 4K UHD Release Date and Details
The Species II 4K UHD release date is set for June 11, 2024.
Having just returned from a mission to Mars, Commander Ross (Justin Lazard) isn’t exactly himself. He’s slowly becoming a terrifying alien entity with a one-track mind—to procreate with human women!
When countless women suffer gruesome deaths after bearing half-alien offspring, scientist Laura Baker (Marg Helgenberger) and hired assassin Press Lennox (Michael Madsen) use Eve (Natasha Henstridge), a more tempered alien clone, to find Ross and his virulent brood. But they underestimate Eve’s maternal drive, and before long she escapes to mate with Ross in order to create a purer and unstoppable race that could spell doom for mankind. As time is running out, the ultimate battle of human brain over alien brawn takes place in a chilling climax that puts Darwin’s theory to the ultimate test…and only the strongest species will survive.
Directed by Peter Medak, the film stars Michael Madsen, Natasha Henstridge, Marg Helgenberger, Mykelti Williamson, and George Dzundza.
The alien design in the original movie was created by H.R. Giger of Alien fame. To date there have been four films in thefranchise, with the third and fourth entries coming in 2004 and 2007 respectively. While hardly a classic,the original movie had a stacked cast featuring Ben Kingsley, Michael Madsen, Alfred Molina, Forest Whitaker, and a young Michelle Williams.
