Valerie and her Week of Wonders would surely be an ideal candidate to do so!

But I've heard tantalising rumours that a 4K restoration is in prospect, and of course Second Run do Blu-rays now, so fingers crossed.

The Cremator and Ikarie XB1 are certainly on my upgrade wishlist... perhaps if you offer to produce them for free Michael...

I've looked at screenshot comparisons of the current Thing blu-ray and the old hd-dvd copy. The blu-ray version is missing objects like snowflakes and the entirety of helicopter blades due to Universal's overzealous use of 'auto-clean' software. It's actually quite badly affected so a new 4K mastered bd version from Arrow is pretty good news.

no problem its fine, these will be the usual arrow fan boys, sad thing is i bet their are a few of them are the ones that got their panties in a twist over the whole boat fiasco with ZFE, always seems the way with people like that, one minute kissing there ass and the next threatening to kill people because they don't have 10 seconds of a boat to wank over!

but i welcome a 4K version of The Thing if they do it justice and give it the treatment it deserves, great new extras and no god awful packing.,

Mancini did Life force so could arrow be releasing this again, not the first time they have re-releashed something Vamp springs to mind


these also have a soundtrack by him

Nightwing (1979)
wait until dark (1967)
Fear (1990)
Night Comers (1971) but thats already got a BLu release here.
