Interesting. I wonder if they'll get the Red Shirt extras from the German disc or come up with all-new material (or both).

Finally!! Day one!! I've only seen one cut of the film. Was the terrible full screen Lionsgate DVD the theatrical version?

[NeMo_ET]

Never heard of this one before, but it sounds pretty interesting. If the price is right I might blind buy.

[Akijama]

I'm a huge fan of it. It's an extremely fun flick, with high replay value.

I have the German disc, for the sake of those who will buy the SF edition I hope they do put it on, they are some great extras. But if its new stuff I may have to double dip...

Time to hit up Internet Movie Database - never heard of this one. I know there are at least a couple of other films with "Resurrected" in the title (an Ellen Burstyn film and something that William Friedkin directed) but I know very little about them. Definitely not blind buying anymore but if this is anything remotely like what I think it is I'll go for it.

Yeah, would be nice, that edition has a great list of features already (plus a better cover IMO). I've almost bought it several times, seems to be OOS on Diabolik now though so the Scream edition will be nice.

Nice. I know it's a super long shot, but it would be cool if Scream could find a workprint or something closer to O'Bannons original cut.

Edit: Ok just listened to the podcast and they confirm theatrical version only with deleted scenes as a bonus.

What exactly is a 'Shatterbrain'?

[BarnDoor]

They implied that it will have most of the extras from the German disc.

Google says it's an archaic word for scatterbrain.

I had assumed it was a variation/pun on scatterbrain, but didn't know if it had any specific relevance to the actual movie.

I don't think they'll have them all since 2 of the 3 audio commentaries are in German. It's shame that they did not port over the great cover from the German Blu Ray, which has a reversible cover without the rating logo.

Great news!!! I almost imported a Region Free edition last month. Can't wait to see if the extra are similar to the German edition! After this, we need: Dagon, Necronomicon and I would not mind The Unnamable I & II!

EDIT: It's so funny when you watch the Trailer, and at the end, they announce the VHS with a retail price of $89.98!!!

Such a shame the complete film couldn't have been put back together.

[RodChester]

I have the German digipak, so I doubt I will be double dipping. Glad this is getting a US release for those that want it though. It's a cool film.

[Kriztoffer Swank]

Earlier this weekend I saw a tweet stating that the directors of The Void reference and study The Blob (1988) and The Resurrected (Shatterbrain) primarily for practical effects, so it's cool seeing this get a Blu-ray announcement. I'd never heard of it before, but O'Bannon has my interest.

[Gargus]

Can't wait. I'd heard a lot of good things about it. Isn't it kind of lovecraftian? I'm thinking of the right movie?
