No specs or features yet, but Shock Till You Drop is reporting the studio has locked in the release date already.

I'd assume at the very least we'll see an unrated cut.

This made it out to theaters? I only remember watching the trailer online and then never seeing anything about it again.

/\ It comes out in theatres on April 5th.

Funny. I've seen it about 4 times out of the 9 times I've gone to the movies in the past 3 months.

Surprised the Blu-ray is being announced this early especially considering the film hasn't even hit theaters yet. Unless the studio expects it to flop or something. That would sort of surprise me though since all of the early reviews make it sound like it's one of the better horror remakes.

If this somehow comes with a Raimi/Campbell commentary...I'll buy it day one. Regardless of the film's quality.

Apparently the sequel to this is already planned, Army of Darkness 2.

....Army of Darkness 2 is for the original ED continuity. The sequel is for this remake.

I'd be floored if they aren't on at least one track.

Ah, poor reading on my part. I thought they were just going to completely destroy the series with crap.

Like others, I'm surprised the release date has already been mentioned.

I hope it's good!

I'm not surprised the home video has been announced already. If it follows typical Evil Dead video releases we shouid have at least 6 different versions by Christmas. Xage, are you ready?

Oh shit. I forgot about xage and ED.

Definitely, especially if both are fairly no-holds-barred about what they think didn't work or wasn't in keep with the spirit of the original films.

Thus far, early word seems to be good. I'll be cautiously optimistic, probably catch it in the theater, then consider if I want to pick up the blu.

*******************************************************

Ah, well, so much for all the deleted/alt. scenes and an unrated cut the director kept yammering about. I guess they'll be keeping the ED tradition alive and at least double dipping here.

Booo on the lack of an unrated cut.

I liked this movie, but don't want to buy endless copies of it like I have the original.

Double Boo on lack of Unrated Cut.

I would buy a version that was actually scary and/or gory.

Regardless of one's fear or lack of it when watching the film. It was gory either way.

Damnit. No Bruce and Sam commentary and unrated cut? Weak offering there. I'll wait for it to go down in price.

Target will have exclusive steelbook for $25.99 available online and in-store.

I re-watched the original last weekend (I was fortunate to see it at the theater back in 1982)......LOVE the original. That said, I enjoyed the remake and went ahead and pre-ordered.

Didn't the director also say that it was litterlly just frames here and there to cut out to get an R rating?

Futureshop Canada and Target USA are getting a "Steelbook" Packaging

I think so. But as a horror fan, you know frames can have a big impact on how a kill plays out.
