**ARMY OF DARKNESS Update & New Art!**
Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! (Sorry, we couldn’t resist quoting Bruce.) Here’s the first look at the final & approved newly-designed key art for our upcoming blu-ray release of Sam Raimi’s ARMY OF DARKNESS! This solid tribute comes to us from illustrator Paul Shipper (Mad Max, Escape from New York).
Original theatrical poster key art will be on the reverse side of the wrap. Extras and specs for this 2-disc Collector's Edition are in the works and will be announced sometime in Late Aug / Early Sept.
Official street date is 10/27 but if you pre-order it from us directly @ https://www.shoutfactory.com/film/fi...ctor-s-edition we'll ship it out two weeks early PLUS include a limited edition free 18" x 24" poster of the new design (while supplies last).

Our Blu-ray producer has provided a couple of Q&As that we felt might come up and that some may be curious about:
Q: Is the U.S. Theatrical version a new transfer?
A: Unfortunately, we were not able to do a new transfer of the theatrical cut (which was provided by our partners at Universal). However, we did do additional color correction.
Q: Why is the International version a 4K transfer and not the Director’s Cut?
A: Our original intention was to do a new 4K scan on the director’s cut, so we started with elements that were available in the MGM vault. Unfortunately, we could not find all of the additional footage (film and audio) for the 96 minute Director’s Cut.
