They have. It's already been released on 4K in Germany.

Looks like Germany will be getting my money.

That being said, the remastered blu-ray included with the German 4K releases was said to look great as well.

Woder if THE STRANGERS will have reversible artwork...? :eyebrows:

Bought this today.
Another superb package.:nod:

Second Sight's Ltd ed sets are among the best out there.
I just don't understand why they don't go that last furlong and give us reversible artwork ala The Changeling,Xtro and When A Stranger Calls.
:confused:

Horrible isn't it!

Dave Boy 4th September 2020 10:12 PM

Yep, that's crap!

J Harker 4th September 2020 10:23 PM

Looks a right mess to me. I really don't get the idea of newly commissioned artwork. Just leave things alone.

It beats me that they actually pay someone for stuff like that. Looks more like a fairytale snow dog than a werewolf. The rest of it is simply a jumbled mess.

Should read - Unfortunately we are just making excuses and blaming it on on Covid.

I'm going to go on record here & say that this will be THE version of Dawn to end all versions!!! I've collected loads over the years & watched every commentary, interview, etc you can get both visual & in print.

Cannot wait for this!

SymbioticFunction 9th September 2020 12:03 AM

Can someone please tell me what the differences are, between the 66 minute and the 100 minute versions of Document of the Dead? I seem to recall reading that the longer version shows Roy Frumkes on the set of Two Evil Eyes. Is it just added Two Evil Eyes content or does that 100 minute cut also have any additional Dawn of the Dead material?

Dave Boy 9th September 2020 07:59 AM

As far as I am aware, the film has had two updates since the original 66 min version. The first time it was updated was with the Two Evil Eyes content added. It was then updated again as The Definitive Document Of The Dead with new interviews about Romero's later Dead movies taking the running time to 100 mins.

Justin101 9th September 2020 04:46 PM

Before Synapse released their 100min version there was one from 1989 which runs for around 84 mins, I think that's the version that was on the Arrow Dawn.. set way back when. I had it on VHS and I remember it having bits from Two Evil Eyes in it so it must have been the 84 min version rather than the 66 min one.

So instead of a Halloween treat,it's now a Christmas treat.
Wonder how much interest all those paid in full preorders earned.... :madgrin:

It'll be so close to Christmas when Amazon end up delivering my copy (just five weeks) that I'm actually going to treat my pricey 4K UHD Dawn boxset as my sole Christmas present this year. :) I'll check that the contents are fine and that all the UHDs/bd/cds load up and play, then wrap it up ready to be accessed on the 25th of December. Weirdly making it into a Christmas present makes me feel better about spending quite so much on it (it's obviously a truly brilliant film but 75 notes is not a small amount of money).

The Reaper Man@Cult Labs 10th September 2020 07:50 PM

Might actually do the same.

Dave Boy 10th September 2020 08:08 PM

Yeah, this was going to be my birthday present. So much for that.

If I remember rightly this release was first teased in January 2019.
So, not much time to sort it out then!

I don't hate it but I get drunk on nostalgia so would have much preferred an exact reproduction of the original tie-in novel. Think this is a bit of an own goal for the purists.

It's a bit cartoony so suits the film perfectly.

I already have an original 1978 copy with the airport zombie artwork, so I’m not bothered about this having new art on the cover because I won’t be reading it anyway

Justin101 18th September 2020 09:28 AM

Since I have got a Playstation 5 ordered I decided to email Second Sight and get my Bluray order of Dawn of the Dead cancelled and swapped to the UHD 4k discs :)

It seems like serendipity as one of my first Bluray discs was Dawn of the Dead from Arrow video :)

Justin101 18th September 2020 04:37 PM

... And the 160 page hardback book that includes the 17 essays about the film!

Looking good, whoever is doing these paintings is good at what they do!

Nostalgic 18th September 2020 09:05 PM

This release will be one of the most positive & uplifting things to happen n 2020! FACT!

We could all use some goodness right now. Dawn is perhaps a perfect thing to bring a smile to the fans!

I have loads of copies of Dawn & all different artwork for it. Quite like the design. Bet it's a monster to deliver in the post, lol!

Rob4 23rd September 2020 03:33 PM

I'm diappointed with the design.

I'm starting to think that i'd be happy with just a BR of all 3 cuts...
