Producers vs Aliens (2014)

*** (out of 4)

Producer Danie Grodnik talks about his career, which includes cult movies WITHOUT WARNING and TERROR TRAIN. This featurette runs 11-minutes and can be found on Shout Factory!'s Blu-ray of WITHOUT WARNING. Grodnik talks about what got him interested in making movies and then talks about how easy he thought it would be. From here he tells a story about how he came up with the idea for TERROR TRAIN and then we focus in on the 1980 alien film. He talks about what it was like trying to get a completed screenplay, working with legends like Jack Palance and Martin Landau and there's even a story about the $19,000 paid to Rick Baker for the alien mask used in the film. Overall this here is another entertaining featurette for the studio. Fans of the film are certainly going to enjoy hearing these stories and especially the ones dealing with the troubled screenwriter who quit half-way through his work.
