Ok, SHOUT! Factory has the rights to the Japanese version of Gamera Vs Viras and will be releasing it in the next couple of months. However, Fred Olen Ray, has remastered a TV print of the film which is known as Destroy All Planets. I guess this is F.O.R.'s way of cashing in on SHOUT!'s soon to be success.

Fred Olen Ray's Retromedia is set to release a special edition DVD of Destroy All Planets (a.k.a. Gamera vs. Viras) that has literally been years in the making.

"We've transferred an original 16mm AIP-TV print and color corrected it two times to produce the best version of this film available," commented Fred.

"But the real reason to catch this Special Edition is the commentary track by American star, Carl Craig... his recollections of the film making process is fascinating. Hosted by Brett Homenick and Damon Foster, recorded in Chicago by our own Randy Carter," added Fred.

No release date has been set, but once it is announced, you'll read it here.
