Where did you read it wouldn't have any extras?

,Apparently, from what I understand, it's going to be missing all the Shout Factory extras, I do not know why but might have something to do with a contract thing or something but those have been dropped from what I know

Hey there Walt. Any luck in getting a new announcement today?

Can you also let us know when some of the MGM titles will drop at Ronin?

Which ones are considered SF extras?

Thanks a lot for your answer! Just when I realized I was mistaking and posting in the "wrong" thread. That's very nice of you, you answered anyway!!

The A/V will be the same, but it will not include the slipcover and will be dropping some of the special features. The original release included the following:

Audio commentary by director John "Bud" Cardos, producer Igo Kantor, spider wrangler Jim Brockett and cinematographer John Morrill, moderated by Lee Christian and Scott Spiegel
Audio commentary with producer Igo Kantor and actress Tiffany Bolling moderated by Marc Edward Heuck
Extras:Code Red's Banana Man introduction
Interview with Tiffany Bolling (9:09)
Interview with writer Steve Lodge (4:40)
"Jim Brockett: Spider Wrangler" Featurette (12:23)
"Rare Behind-The-Scenes Footage" Featurette (17:17)
Theatrical trailer (1:52)

Only the bolded ones are included in the retail version

Thanks. Kino seems to list "Audio commentary with director John 'Bud' Cardos, producer Igo Kantor and star Tiffany Bolling" and a theatrical trailer too.

Is that a separate audio commentary with John Cardos or is their listing wrong?

I'm pretty sure the listing is wrong. While the original release does include one commentary with the director it isn't with Tiffany. The latter was recorded and done with the interview for the new release.

Walt, I'm looking forward to all your upcoming releases. Have you looked into RUSH WEEK? I believe this is with MGM. I'd love to see this late 80's slasher make it to Blu-ray.

Instant buy for me

The spoof slasher Pandemonium is also with MGM, right?

I'm sorry to be a bother but I was wondering if there was any update on Deep Space? Thank you.

His personal page. I only just realized the official Scorpion FB page was down too.

Huh, I thought it was just me. It's why I was asking about their release for 1988 Deep Space instead of looking on their facebook...cause anytime I tried to click on their facebook, it goes:

"Sorry, this content isn't available right now

That's a crown title not MGM

Ah wasn't sure if it changed hands since MGM is listed as the studio on Amazon Prime. Keep up the great work! All these announcements are terrific.

Too Scared to Scream would be my hope.

Well he did say he interviewed Leon Isaac Kennedy for two other titles in addition to Lone Wolf McQuade; we thought it might be Penitentiary III and Body and Soul, but perhaps MGM do indeed have Too Scared to Scream? Are there any other realistic options?
