Cynthia Dale doing aerobics in Heavenly Bodies, dressed in typcial 80s aerobics wear
The Big Picture The Canadian answer to Flashdance is coming to home video for the first time in decades. As revealed on social media by Letterboxd, Heavenly Bodies, the 1984 film that brought jazzercise to the streets of Toronto, will be released on Blu-ray for the first time ever by boutique physical media distributor Fun City Editions.
Fun City Edition's Blu-ray release of Heavenly Bodies will feature an all-new transfer restored from the 35mm internegative, and will also include the film's biggest selling point: its incredible 1980s soundtrack, which includes tracks from The Tubes, Sparks, The Pointer Sisters' Bonnie Pointer, Gary Wright, and Cheryl Lynn. The film was written and directed by character actor Lawrence Dane , in his only directorial credit.
What's the Plot of 'Heavenly Bodies'? Heavenly Bodies stars Cynthia Dale as secretary and single mom Samantha Blair, who has a dream to open up her own aerobics studio. She and two friends lease an abandoned warehouse and transform it into the health club Heavenly Bodies. The club soon becomes a massive success, and they even get hired to train the players of a local football team; Samantha falls in love with Steve , one of the players.
After starring in so-called "Canuxploitation" films like Heavenly Bodies and the classic Canadian slasher My Bloody Valentine, Dale became known to Canadians nationwide as lawyer Olivia Novak on the successful CBC drama Street Legal. She continues to be a familiar presence on Canadian TV, recently guest-starring on the long-running Victorian-era detective series Murdoch Mysteries.
Fun City Editions has not yet set a release date for their Blu-ray release of Heavenly Bodies. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
