Innerspaceshouldve been a contender.
Yet whenInnerspacemade its theatrical debut on July 1, it was met with surprising indifference.
The ad campaign was so terrible for that movie, Dante confided.
It was just a giant thumb with a little tiny pod on it.
But then again, it was going to be a tricky sell from the very beginning.
Yet thats exactly whatInnerspaceis: a (largely) family-friendly sci-fi comedy told in Dantes typically manic style.
Dantes genius, then, is in his casting.
Dantes almost casual way of bringing a technically complex movie together shouldnt be overlooked either.
Ultimately, all the advanced technology in the world cant save Igoe from Jacks roiling stomach acid.
As you may have gathered,Innerspacedoesnt take itself too seriously.
That hasInvasion Of The BodySnatchersveteran Kevin McCarthy as a Silicon Valley bad guy named Victor Scrimshaw.
That casts the wonderfully off-kilter Henry Gibson as Jacks boss at the supermarket.
