Arrow Video - Martin

[EvilJames]

So the Blu Ray may be kaput, does that mean any hopes of an Arrow re-release are down the drain? Though it's hard to know what else could be done better than the last DVD other than improving the transfer. Oh, and not cheekily splitting it between two discs!

Need to pick Martin up so will be waiting for the Arrow release. Really good spin on vampire tale.

[truckturner]

does anyone know the release date on blu ray for this flick ?

[EvilJames]

There will be no Blu Ray, according to Almar. The materials weren't up to snuff, so it's been cancelled.

But what I want to know is whether or not to expect a new SE from Arrow on DVD, or whether they'd consider the old one good enough? Almar, confirmation please?

Woohoo!

Go on Almar, any news about what's sure to be the definitive release of George Romero's best film? (Don't agree with me? Well, Romero does!) Aspect ratio? Commentary? (Which one? Both?) Alternate footage from the Italian version (Wampyr)?

In any case, nice cover art

I agree with you EvilJames - Martin is by far my favourite Romero film too.*

On a side note: I know plans for the Blu were scrapped; but is this something that may appear further down the line...














* Except for NOTLD which I have a crazy soft spot for...

I fibbed slightly too - that great late 70s/early 80s hattrick of Martin, Dawn and Knightriders all regularly take turns of being my favourite Romero film, usually after I've just watched one of them.

I already own both Arrow's full frame and widescreen releases of Martin. But i'd still be up for an updated edition if there's any new extras under consideration.

Nice cover.I like it!

Big question is.....what's the reverse gonna be?
