The Blob (1988) coming to Blu-ray next year from Twilight Time - Blu-ray Forum

Akijama · 12-11-2012, 02:19 AM

I've sent a PM to folks from TT via their FB page,regarding some questions I've had about few titles that i'd like to see on Blu and this is what they told me : "Neither of those are on the horizon at the moment, but the Blob remake is likely for 2013..."

[Show spoiler]

Granted, it's not clear whether The Blob will be released next year or not (though i'm guessing it will be due for next Halloween), but the good news is - they definitely have it,and fortunately it will be due next year.

Update (2/16/13) : According to Nick Redman and TT FB page, The Blob (1988) is now releasing in 2014.

Bet they're hedging on the timing to see when Criterion slots in their rumoured Blob '58 Blu-ray upgrade Akijama.

Glad to hear confirmation, the Blob remake is a very underrated flick. What were the titles that they nixed?

HD Goofnut · 12-11-2012, 02:25 AM

I'm in. I sure wish the original would get a release too.

It will. Kim Newman confirmed that he wrote the booklet essay back in the summer.

curtistalls · 12-11-2012, 02:27 AM

Love the remake, will definitely pick that up.

oildude · 12-11-2012, 02:43 AM

I really like Twilight Time. I am a huge supporter of them, appreciate the quality and care they show for their releases, the fact that they are putting out many lost in the vault or otherwise almost forgotten films on blu-ray, and get excited every time new titles are announced. I have every one of their releases so far.

But I have to admit, I am really sad that they got this one - now it will be limited to 3000.

First four DVDs I ever bought, back in the day: Blade Runner, Saving Private Ryan, Gallipoli, and The Blob 1988.

Frightener22 · 12-11-2012, 02:46 AM

Awesome news to hear! A solid remake if I say so myself. It'll look great in the Blu-ray collection.

I never seen the original but I loved the remake when I was a kid...I can't wait!!!

Noooooo ... who in their right mind would give this title to TT?

Retroj23 · 12-11-2012, 04:10 AM

Sweet! I love this movie. Can't wait

This shouldn't be a problem! Whenever the movie becomes available for pre-order, order yourself a copy ASAP.

DarknessBDJM · 12-11-2012, 05:47 AM

Shoot, Twilight Time is getting 120 bucks from me next year with The Fury, The Blob, Christine, and Experiment in Terror.

The Mhael · 12-11-2012, 06:56 AM

Love this movie, and will buy it on day one.

Even the theme song is one of my all-time faves!
