Dog Soldiers up for pre-order.

https://secondsightfilms.co.uk/colle...atest-releases

Oh Yeah :pop2: only problem is....what version to buy though :lol:

No sale for me.
No reversible art,digipak.

I’ll keep my German 4k set and I’ve ordered the Scream Factory disc.


ALWAYS the artwork that lets Second Sight’s superb sets down. :tsk:

'Dog Soldiers' update (again!)

"Unfortunately we have to delay the DOG SOLDIERS release until August 22nd. For the past 2 months we have been in an unexpectedly lengthy approval process for all the content we created for the release, which includes disc content as well as the book. We have had to remove the archive Neil Marshall and cast commentary which has been replaced with a producer commentary. We have finally been able to have all other content approved. Sorry for the delay but we are pleased we are still able to give this a limited edition box set release along with the standard releases."

As much as this does look lovely i won't be splashing out £25 for four art cards, a booklet and a new doc by David Huckvale.

The rest of it is identical to the Icon release.

Having said that. Cex are giving £28 store credit for the Icon version so i probably will get rid of it and get the new release.

I was only thinking today about the Dog Soldiers release. I thought I may have missed it!

I think I'll stick with the Icon Mummy release.

Also from Second Sight

Really disappointing set of extras as you say.

It leaves a bad taste in the mouth when you think about what Indicator would have done with a release like this!

Honestly, does Second Sight really think Hammer collectors will give up the Icon releases when they sport classic original Hammer poster artwork?

I think not... :crazy:

I'll buy these IF they have reversible art,but I think we all know the answer to that!

Perfectly happy with the Icon releases of both of these. No intention of replacing them.

We'd have been on cloud 9 if they'd announced X-The Unknown or The Abominable Snowman. But no, they had to come up with identikit releases to the Icon ones but with worse artwork.

I'm actually pleased that The Mummy is being reissued. I don't own a copy and the Icon blu ray went OOP and sells for silly money nowadays. I will however, be waiting for a cheaper standard edition. I just want the disc not a slipbox, booklet and art cards.

Same here.

And I already own the Scream Factory discs.....

Ditto, on all counts. The only copy of The Mummy I have is the R1 Warner Home Video release which Demdike mentioned a few posts back.

The only copy I have is an Amazon Prime hd streaming version that I picked up for a fiver (once I saw the cost of the Icon blu-ray on the second hand market). It'll be great to have access to an affordable and physical high definition copy.

***MARTIN UPDATE***

“”For several months this has been on hold while we tried to negotiate rights to include the longer cut. Sadly despite our efforts this has been unsuccessful. We're now going ahead and releasing before end of year, date TBC. Thanks for everyone’s patience”

Jesus,this was announced first at the same time as Dawn of the Dead was it not?

I'm dreading to think what new (and unimproved) artwork they're going to give us for The Hitcher.

I could live with it, if they used this poster

Attachment 241304

Probably along the lines of......

The French poster is quite cool.


I used to have the mediabook with that on it.

I'll be hanging on to my Japanese bd for the meantime....UNLESS OF COURSE....

I doubt they'll give us any original artwork. I'd love them to use this one, but I doubt they will. I blame the people who blow smoke up the asses of these companies when they commission new art [emoji23]

"THE HITCHER update! Very excited to have our initial grading session with director Robert Harmon next week. We will spend several months on the 4K restoration which is scheduled for completion by end of February. A big thanks to Robert for all the support he's giving us with the release!"

I'm so excited for this release.

If only they'd......

Looks like MARTIN should be on its way soon ..
