John Carpenter's They Live

[Blu-21]

Will Shout Factory every release a region B Blu-Ray? The transfer might be a bit weak and inferior to the Italian release, but it has all those extras and a slipcover, plus its still high-def after all. I haven't bought the DVD in hopes that they give us the Blu.

Is this any use to you?

They just said it needed to be region B. The current release of it from shout factory is Region A locked. I don't know why you linked them to the release they already specified that they can't get. Very unhelpful.
To answer your question, no. I don't think they'll release They Live on region B ever.

There's no excuse for not being able to buy and watch region A movies. Bite the bullet and buy yourself a region free blu-ray player. I did and I haven't looked back. There's no use sitting around whining about how unfair it all is when there's a solution, albiet a less ideal one, sitting right infront of you.

My understanding is that SF only have rights to distribute in the US, Thus having to region lock all their releases.

I have the Italian version and I'm very pleased with it

Wow how very rude of you.

Perhaps. I don't like being rude but first of all, you ignored what they were asking and gave them the incorrect advice and I was already irritated from the OP's question since the answer is staring them right in the face. Buy a region free blu-ray player, buy whatever movie you want. It's that simple.

I don't feel like buying an entirely new Blu-Ray player just for They Live. Generally 99% of the stuff I like I own or is available to me because its released in region B. Besides, my money is going into a new hobby at the moment, collecting Laserdiscs.
