George A. Romero prefers Day of the Dead to Dawn of the Dead

He originally had planned a big budget release for Day of the Dead but due to his follow up film Knightriders not doing well the studio got scared and cut his budget

I like both Films and I myself prefer Day of the Dead

The Arrow Release of Day of the Dead is fantastic but you also should check out USA Shout Factory Collector's Edition Release
USA Shout Factory Collector's Edition Release

Spoiler

it has fantastic Artwork has a brilliant new documentary not on the Arrow Release and has better Picture Quality

I expect this Arrow Steelbook to be Dual Format Blu-ray + DVD
1 Blu-ray Disc and possibly include DVD and DVD extras Disc as per previous release
Hopefully it will at least include the extras DVD Disc
I will find out soon if that is what were getting

I agree the Night remake is excellent. Much better than the original.

I concur. The Tom Savini remake is awesome

Not even an amaray release as yet though :tear:

There was a Blu-Ray release in the US by Twilight Time. Only a 3,000 Print run I believe.

Yep, i was looking for it recently and was surprised to find it doesn't exist

You can snag one second hand pretty easily. Its expensive, but not outrageously expensive. Its region free as well.

I looked on a lot of sites but I never found It, so there's a BD that Was released in the US? I'll try googling it rather than going to specific websites and see what pops up I hope zavvi is reading this thread to see how popular their anouncement of this title is and start looking into getting some more zombie movies for us

 

[paulboland]

I would love to see a Creepshow Steelbook

 

[UpsetSmiley]

Arrow must have loads of remaining stock left of this one, maybe they think a marketing tactic such as repackaging it will help sell flog them. Dawn of the Dead is now OOP and goes for £40+ these days. So sadly a steelbook for it doesn't seem likely unless they re-print it.

As would we all!!

Arrow are usually good with extras so i think it will, love the artwork on that collector's edition, would like to see that on this steelbook.

I hope this means Night and Dawn of the Deads are coming soon!!

 

[goufcustom]

I never ordered Zavvi's Arrow steelbooks before, what's the treatment from the previous releases anyway? Good? thanks guys

I'm sure it will be the regular Arrow treatment. The Beyond and Tenebrae were no different from any other Arrow Steelbook release

Don't hold your breath.

Dawn of the Dead 1978 not possible as no studio has the rights to do a new release or Re Print a previous release at this moment until this is sorted
Only previous released Blu-ray stock is what you can buy and best version which is Arrow Video Blu-ray is very rare and expensive

Night of the Living Dead 1968
This entered the public domain due to an error by the distributor by forgetting to put copyright notice on Night of the Living Dead (Did not have cc notice on Title)
When it was released in the cinemas back in 1968 meaning no one owns the Night of the living dead title rights and all recent DVD and Blu-ray have been released by lot of studios with some been of poor quality
This could happen but I doubt it

 

[Bobthesub]

I think it was Paul that said he was going to contact arrow about Dawn rights. If arrow still owns them, Im sure they will release a steel soon. But its strange that they would release this one first if both are planned.


And yes if you bought that Day release for £9.50, keep it sealed and you just made yourself atleast £60!

Arrow dont have the rights to 'Dawn' any more, thats why the slipboxed version was the last version they released (and probably why it goes for a pretty penny now) They still have the rights to 'Day' so thats why after the slipboxed one they released a regular amaray version without the interchangeable cover or comic...Im not sure if it had the poster either... (I assume 'Dawn' would have got a similar release had they still got the rights..)

Im in 2 minds about the steelbook, I own the slipboxed version, and have no intention of selling it, but as its one of my all time favorite trilogies, do I buy the 'Day' steel in the hope 'Night' and 'Dawn' get a steelbook release from someone sometime in the future....Hmmm double dip or not...I did that with Battle royale, I have the slipboxed version but couldnt resist the steelbook....

On a side note...isnt that back cover art taken from one of the many Dawn of the dead releases?? seems odd to put it on the back of day of the dead....

Sort of yes
It can look like its from one of the original Dawn of the Dead Film Posters but its not

Spoiler

But is using different coloring and not the same as Dawn of the Dead but is sort of the same from Day of the Dead 1985 Film Poster

Be interesting to see what the inside Artwork going to be
