Release date: May 18

""It had me cheering from the bleachers. Goldie Hawn scores a touchdown." – Rex Reed, New York Post

Central High is an inner-city Chicago combat zone sometimes called a school. It has a brawn-before-brains football team of rowdy rappers, bruisers and losers. What's Molly McGrath doing there? Coaching football!

All-American charmer Goldie Hawn is Molly, who turns the team's wayward ways into winning plays in this comedy of heart, family and football directed by Michael Ritchie (The Bad News Bears). The Wildcats are a motley crew with a perfect record: zero victories. But when the spunky new coach gets into the groove, the kids start resembling a team and go for the glory! In fact, a pair of these players would later reteam in two box-office hits: Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson (White Men Can't Jump, Money Train)."

Extras in progress and will be announced at a later date.

But when they cross paths with a group of diamond thieves, the pair team up in search of the biggest score of them all. Featuring Eva Mendes, Tommy Flanagan, Carmen Chaplin, Lil Bow Wow, and Anthony Michael Hall, All About The Benjamins is a hip-hop heist flick packed with action and laughs — and you can take that to the bank."

'Event Horizon' update

"Originally announced last year, Scream Factory is bringing Paul W.S. Anderson‘s fan favorite 1997 space horror flick Event Horizon to Collector’s Edition Blu-ray, and we’ve learned today that the new release date is March 23, 2021. Additionally, we’ve now got full details.

Available March 23, 2021, this collector’s edition of the cult classic boasts a new 4k scan of the original camera negative as well as a bevy of brand-new bonus features, including an interview with director Paul W.S. Anderson, an interview with writer Philip Eisner, interviews with actress Kathleen Quinlan, actor Jack Noseworthy and actor Peter Marinker, an interview with production designer Joseph Bennett and much, much more!

As expected, the gruesome “Anderson Cut” remains elusive. In regards to that, Scream Factory notes: “We did an exhaustive search for film elements for the director’s cut, but as you’ll hear in his new 2021 interview, director Paul W.S. Anderson doesn’t think his cut will materialize. Unfortunately, much of the footage is lost and as he mentions, he’d need to shoot new footage. We moved the release date a few times because of some leads, but to our disappointment, they didn’t pan out. We definitely tried our best.”"

But a weak, persistent signal from the long-missing craft prompts a rescue team, headed by the intrepid Captain Miller (Laurence Fishburne), to wing its way through the galaxy on a bold rescue mission. Accompanying Miller is his elite crew and the lost ship’s designer (Sam Neill). What they uncover is unimaginable interstellar horror."

'Battle Beyond The Stars' (1980) - Limited Edition Steelbook + Figure + Lithograph pre-order available from Shout factory direct - $69.97

Release date: June 29

"Shad (Richard Thomas) must scour the cosmos to recruit mercenaries from different planets and cultures in order to save his peaceful home planet from the threat of the evil tyrant Sador (John Saxon), who's bent on dominating and enslaving the entire universe. Joining this "magnificent seven" of mercenaries are the deadly Gelt (Robert Vaughn), carefree Cowboy (George Peppard) and the sexy Valkyrie Saint-Exmin (Sybil Danning).

The film benefits greatly from some extremely talented people behind the scenes that went on to bigger things: Academy Award–winning director James Cameron (The Terminator, Aliens), Academy Award–winning composer James Horner (Titanic, Avatar), screenwriter John Sayles (Lone Star, Piranha) and producer Gale Anne Hurd (The Terminator, Hulk) all participated in this "visually inventive and intermittently involving intergalactic shoot-'em-up" (The Onion A.V. Club)!"

This Shout Factory Exclusive, Deluxe Limited Edition contains:

• Battle Beyond The Stars [Limited Edition Steelbook]
• An exclusive, limited edition 8" tall Saint-Exmin action figure by NECA, authorized and approved by actor Sybil Danning (limited to 2,000 units)
• A limited edition 28.5" x 16.5" rolled lithograph of our newly commissioned cover art from artist Hugh Fleming

Bonus Features

• NEW 2K Scan Of The Interpositive
• Audio Commentary By Writer John Sayles And Producer Roger Corman
• Audio Commentary By Production Manager Gale Anne Hurd
• "The Man Who Would Be Shad" – Interview With Actor Richard Thomas

• Theatrical Trailer
• TV Spots
• Radio Spots

- While supplies last, the action figure can be purchased individually on our site. Pre-order available - $39.99

- The Steelbook (sans litho & action figure) will also be made available to national retailers in the U.S. & Canada. Only 7,000 units of the steelbook will be made in total. Pre-order available - $29.98

Quite a nice package aside from the crappy artwork (and lithograph).

The figure is cool but not really worth the cost it would be to import to the UK, sadly.
