i dunno, i can't imagine SS risking the wrath of the fans by shortchanging them by that much, but it was rumoured that Rubinstein was asking stupid money for the license so you have to wonder how SS could afford it and not that other larger boutique label..?

If you mean Arrow, Rob, they had it then lost it. If you mean Indicator, then is it really their bag?

I don't think anyone can grumble if SS do a similar job with this as they did with The Changeling.

Wonder what they can add that's not already out there?

Well they can beat the Arrow version simply by having all the versions in HD.

Hmmmm I can’t see many people happy at that if it’s true.

i guess i was meaning Arrow, although I don't think it would be completely outside Indicator or Eureka's remit given Romero's status. i think most thought it would be one of these (or in fact a US label) as opposed to SS who, i guess, is seen as a smaller player (that's not to diminish their product which is high quality). i think what some posters are asking, is will this be all three cuts in HD or just Argento's European cut given that Rubinstein had previously priced the license out of the market?

I’m imagining it’ll be a port of the recent Italian release but I guess time will tell. I’ll happily buy it again even if it is, depending on what the extras are, most of the extras on the Italian release are unfriendly to non-Italian speakers!

Yep, I have the Italian Blu ray set but will go for this and hope it will have a load of extras.

There is a strong possibility that it'll be the Argento cut. As above, Richard P Rubenstein has fully remastered cuts of Dawn including a 3D version. He's been wanting a mint for them apparently. However no ones been biting.
Theoretically he may be willing to compromise. However I would imagine labels with deeper pockets (Arrow, Scream Factory, Criterion) have all been trying to get the price dropped. If it is all the cuts then that's one hell of a coup.
Given the quality of their previous releases, The changeling (better than the severin release) and when a stranger calls it should be a decent release.

[Dave Boy]

If it's just the Argento cut I'll pass.

SS have changed their banner again
