"Just heard this:

Studiocanal and Emfoundation are delighted to announce the release of a brand-new 4k restoration to mark the 50th anniversary of the Hammer classic ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. The spectacular prehistoric adventure, which gave the world the most iconic bikini shot of all time, and made a star of fur-clad Raquel Welch will be released on Doubleplay on October 24th 2016.

Billed as the 100th production from the legendary Hammer production house, the highlight of the film was without doubt the stop-motion dinosaur animation by legendary special effects animator Ray Harryhausen. The result was Hammer’s biggest commercial success, and the big screen's most famous dinosaur epic right up until the release of Jurassic Park 26 years later.

This release contains exclusive artwork from the Harryhausen foundation, and will reveal fully for the first time detailed notes and storyboard for an unfilmed Brontosaurus sequence, which was originally planned as the film's dramatic climax, along with other brand new extras. Please see press release below for further info.

We are confirming availabilities of Raquel Welch and Martine Beswick for press, and have confirmed the availability of filmmaker and trustee of the Harryhausen Foundation, John Walsh."
