**SURPRISE TITLE ANNOUNCEMENT!**

We are pleased to officially share that we will be bringing the 1979 supernatural thriller THE LEGACY to Blu-ray for the first time!

Planned release is for August. This unique Omen-esque offering is helmed by Director Richard Marquand (Star Wars: Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Jagged Edge) and stars Katharine Ross (The Stepford Wives, The Graduate), Sam Elliott (Hulk, Frogs, Tombstone)and rock superstar Roger Daltrey (Tommy). It also features many disturbing death sequences (**SPOILERS** For those who know the film, the pool and the chicken bone scenes are the stuff of nightmares right?).

No details to announce about upcoming extras. Pre-order links are expected to go up next month.

We have more new title reveals planned throughout the Spring and Summer so stay tuned!

It would never happen, of course, but how awesome would it be if they used this poster for the cover art?

A great companion piece to The Sentinel, and an announcement that I was actually expecting. Thumbsup

Very interesting news! Looking forward to hearing more about this release.

One of the few films directed by Richard Marquand.

NeMo_ET · 04-16-2015, 07:01 PM

Never heard of it, but you've peaked my interest. THIS is what Shout/Scream should stick to. Not average transfers of already released movies.

iank · 04-16-2015, 10:04 PM

Definite purchase for me. Great 70s spinechiller that I saw as a kid, with many scenes that haunted me for years after.

Mystic · 04-16-2015, 10:37 PM

This is a welcome release. Fingers crossed for a decent transfer by Scream.

JackForrester · 04-16-2015, 11:02 PM

Love this! Thanks Scream!

slasherdisc · 04-16-2015, 11:13 PM

I'm in for this release, Keep em comin!

And how is the transfer?

Oscar Rothman · 05-06-2015, 01:42 AM

I see Scream is going with the original poster on this. That's cool.

surfinhank · 05-06-2015, 05:41 AM

The transfer on the import is very good, very clean with minimal damage. Seems very film-like, doesn't appear to be any sharpening or filtering. The only extra is a trailer. I'm really curious to see what kind of extras this one will have.

Thank you, I haven't been able to find any info on that release. How about the audio ... is it lossy or lossless?
