I can't wait to hear the final specs... man 'o man, it'll be sweet.

Reliable sources from another forum indicate that only excerpts from Document of the Dead will be included, as opposed to the full film -- Synapse owns the rights to this and will be releasing it themselves sometime next year. Also the Argento cut is apparently a go.

As long as Synapse release their own edition of Document of the Dead and we have all three cuts of the film (theatrical, Cannes, and Argento) on the AB disc; then I'm ready. Let's release this ************ now! :)

HOLY SHIT...

(feels faint.... gets up) :banana:

sirbrady 06-11-04 05:45 PM

Awesome!! Now that's a box set.

sracer 06-11-04 05:47 PM

Very nice! It's great to see Romero's films being treated with the respect they deserve! Anchor Bay has dramatically improved since the departure of Bill Lustig.

I never thought that I'd be looking forward to triple-dipping on this title. :D

Matthew Chmiel 06-11-04 05:47 PM

HOLY SHIT INDEED!

Now that's going to be one sweet ass box set!

meharry2003 06-11-04 05:51 PM

I can't wait for this!!!!!!!

This is going to be freakin' awesome!

bboisvert 06-11-04 05:55 PM

That's really pretty much everything I could have hoped for and more. Holy shit, indeed.

MSD 06-11-04 05:57 PM

YES!

Bandit03 06-11-04 06:10 PM

:jawdrop: Holy crap! This is going to be an amazing set! :banana:

MahatmaPetey 06-11-04 06:14 PM

WOW what a set, if that's all on there. Definitely worth the wait from the last release to this one.

mikewendt 06-11-04 06:34 PM

THAT'S F//KING AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gizmo 06-11-04 07:35 PM

AWESOME! I only wish they managed to sneek in the Goblin Soundtrack on CD..oh well. Still one of Anchor Bay's top 3 released, and for horror in general.

duckhouse 06-11-04 07:45 PM

Why is the cast commentary on the European version? I haven't seen it but I've heard it's quite different from the other versions (lots of the comedy and characterization cut out). Other than that it looks great.

OldBoy 06-11-04 08:14 PM

yeah..but all this has already been released in R2 sans one of the docs. so what is the biggie? don't all the true fans have all them already?

Ummm, No. There are many of us who require R1 discs.
And before you can chime in with the "get a region free player" some of us have more than one DVD player and want the flexibility of playing the discs on any of them.

The Valeyard 06-11-04 08:50 PM

:drool:


So anyone know if Document of the Dead will have all the extras that the Synapse version has? Just want to know if I should dump it or not.


Jesuz, this set sounds A-MAZ-ING!!!

Sweet Cupcake Jesus!


Retail is expected to be around $700.

MrMacabre 06-11-04 09:42 PM

After all the months upon months of hype, I can't help but feel underwhelmed by those specs.

But with that said, what else could one possibly ask for?

Ah, forget it. :-S
