Troma Team's Father's Day...delayed again?

[RebelPhoenix]

Originally scheduled for June 12th, then pushed back to June 26th....now amazon has it for July 31. Any news on this? As in why?

[Arkadin]

Troma has MAJOR issues as far as bd goes.
they can hardly get anything out on time or not on time.

[Seymour]

Yeah, no surprise really. When (and if) it's actually released, then I'll be surprised!

[PowellPressburger]

it will be released October of 2014 from Anchor Bay

[JMK]

As the reviewer assigned to this label, I echo (bridge? ) the sentiments above. I expressed exactly the same comment at our last staff meeting: "I'll be surprised if it ever streets."

[Kriztoffer Swank]

Hopefully it arrives no later than August. I'm getting real antsy here. It was one of the most fun theatergoing experiences I've had in years and I'd love to show it to my friends.

[stadanko]

I'm thinking one reason it got delayed because didn't they just change it to a 4 disc set? Fun movie, I can't wait to get it.

[therock666]

so they have a new sublicense deal with anchor bay now i see mother's day the 1980 version is coming sept 4th i wonder if that has anything to do with the delay of father's day the new sub license contract.

A lot of drama follows this release...

Troma got pissed at Astron-6 when they reviewed the documentary for Fathers Day that had some less than kind things said about Troma/Lloyd. At that point they stripped the set down removing the documentary, commentary, soundtrack, and many other extras. They decided to make it a 2-disc set that was almost barebones.

Fans complained and Troma listened and decided to make it a 4 disc set and include the Astron-6 shorts, but still leaving off the making of documentary and commentary. Astron-6 have vowed to get the documentary out to fans themselves in one format or another.

Here is a link that details the problems KFelon mentioned in his post.

Troma should just sell all their catalog to someone, the only movies worth capitalizing on are Lloyd Kaufman's anyway...

Hopefully the deal they have with Arrow brings about some stellar releases. Father's Day should be set as a non-limited edition as the 2 original poster arts were done by Tom Hodge anyways

Man, there were pretty much no details whatsoever in that article...

[chris_sc77]

This release will never see one penny from me since they had to remove the documentary and commentary. At best I will Netflix this. Really doesn't seem like Troma to censor that kinda stuff. Pretty lame of them if you ask me.

From the article:

Accusations of broken promises and bad faith contracts are at the heart of it, but the trailer shows us other pitfalls like the charge that Troma was selling bootlegs of the movie at screenings that ended up on The Pirate Bay within a day.

Also in the video they discuss the original poster art released by Troma did not include the Astron 6 logo. I'm not sure what other details you were expecting, but I think the article spelled out pretty clearly the cause of the rift between Troma and Astron 6 which has led to the delay of the home release of Father's Day.

[Seymour]

The article is rather vague while being really long-winded at the same time. It does make one thing clear, though: Father's Day is not likely coming out anytime soon.

If reports are right, this just got delayed again. August 14th. Really getting old Troma and where the hell is The toxic avenger blu's

Where did this report come from? I really hope it's not true, all these delay issues are just getting out of hand.

[Prim]

If Lloyd Kaufman were indeed selling bootleg copies like Astron-6 says in the teaser, then I fully understand why he's trashing them. But I'm having a hard time believing that they would sell bootlegs when the film is this close to final release. I mean, who bootlegs their own movie??
The full documentary will probably reveal much more. Until then...

[DarknessBDJM]

It should be called Grandfather's Day by the time it comes out.
