Is there any details on how this release will differ from the U.S. release, if at all? It would be cool if they restored the original audiotrack and SFX from the theatrical and previous home video releases.

I'm hoping the same. i have a fan made dvd using the original audio but to be honest, it's the special features and awesome packaging that sealed the deal on this

 

[Bakiboy]

I will bet this is region B locked and people in US buy multiregion

hint - scroll to the bottom!

The dead have risen and they need more ‘BRAINS’! Dan O’Bannon’s cult splatterfest The Return Of The Living Dead is one of the definitive zombie movies and one of the classic horror films of the 80s.

Now this horror favourite is being released on 4 June 2012 courtesy of Second Sight as a special edition double DVD and makes its UK Blu-ray debut in a limited edition Steelbook, both with five hours of special features and also the much anticipated inclusion of the original soundtrack as well as the remixed version.

Blundering medical supplies warehouse workers Frank and his young trainee Freddy unwittingly set off a mysterious US military chemical that brings the dead back to life. And they’ve got a real hunger for human brains. Enlisting the help of a local crematorium, they
set off a chain of events that could lead to the end of civilisation. Can they defeat the growing army of ravenous zombies? ‘How do you kill something that’s already dead’ It’s not a bad question Bert.

from wiki

The film was originally released on DVD in the UK by Tartan Home Video in 2001. This is the only time it has been issued in its original form. A year later and MGM released a Special Edition DVD in the US with a new cut of the movie (with music alterations due to copyright issues) with a commentary by O'Bannon and a documentary on the making of the film. The cover of the DVD case for the 2002 release glows in the dark. On September 11, 2007, a Collector's Edition of the film was released with additional extra features involving the cast. The different home video releases have featured different soundtracks, often changing the songs used. Also, the basement zombie's ("Tar-Man") voice was altered. Originally, the zombie had a higher, raspier voice.

i'm gonna need a stiff drink and rest after all this good news today!!!

This just gets better with every update.So happy it will include the more brains documentary.

 

[the1tyrant]

bigrob, thanks again for the update. I'm totally stoked for this release. The steelbook alone was reason enough to order, but this news is the frosting on the cake.

I wonder if Second Sight is going to release steelbook versions of Return of the Living Dead, Parts 2 & 3, in the near future. Man that would rule

 

[DK06CTR]

still not ordered this yet, umming and arrrring. hmmm

 

[Konflick]

I ordered this in Hmv cause I like they're packaging

 

[DJ IXS]

I ordered this in Hmv cause I like they're packaging

HMV packaging is Horrible! they just ship in a thin box with NO bubble wrap! Amazon ships using bubble wrap and they put it in a thick box inside ANOTHER thick box! AND it's cheaper! well to the U.S anyway

 

[ocielz]

I ordered this in Hmv cause I like they're packaging

I've yet to receive a damaged Steelbook from them knock on wood

 

[cooey]

Really looking forward to this, and those specs have just made it loads better
