It's ironic how ebay issue warnings to sellers who're listing Digital HDs on their website claiming it's a copyright infringement (which is false), but they allow sellers who are blatantly selling pirated DVDs and blu-ray movies and gets away with it. People have continually complained and report them, but ebay doesn't do a damn thing about it. Probably because they're getting a percentage and a commission from the sales.

Look at his other items, loads of other bootlegs too, like films not even out on blu yet. I encourage everyone to buy those items and when they arrive to dispute it as a bootleg, which is very evident, get refunded and have the seller be out shipping costs from Rio (and possibly their fake product as well). Always best to hit their pocketbook than just delay them since they'll likely just open up another account.

If I believed they were from HD sources and that I'd actually receive the products in question I'd consider picking up a few, but I feel like the odd's are that for most of those releases the video will be from an upscaled DVD and not worth the effort. As far as I'm aware no HD master even exists for the Changeling or The Hitcher.

They could be HDTV rips. The covers are really high-quality though.

[davidthenikonuser]

Yep, it's a boot. Seller is in Brazil. Most stuff from there is bootlegs.

Very true but Ebay is horrible and they could really care less. I hate it when some items from Amazon are not what is pictured during ordering.

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere but I'm seeing reports that Scream Factory will be announcing the following at San Diego Comic Con...

Child's Play 2
Child's Play 3
Jaws 2
Jaws 3-D
Killer Klowns from Outer Space
The Terminator

[painiac]

so more things that don't need a Scream release because they are already on blu-ray. hopefully the sales are good so they can do more Naschy sets.

[NeMo_ET]

Well that would be a bit of a let down. I'm not a special feature kind of guy. Barely have time to watch all my movies, let alone special features. Re-releases just don't do it for me.

Would be cool if the Chucky's included the tv cuts. I'll buy em regardless.

I'm in for Killer Klowns.

[Caution_Zombies]

Im in for Killer Klowns for sure if they got it.

Id also entertain a double dip on Terminator if its packed with special features

THIS is what I wanted to see, not Jaws 3

I'd like to see the source, as I find this very hard to believe for several reasons:

1) Scream are very good at keeping SDCC titles secret. To my knowledge, the only ones that have leaked over the years were The Car (thanks to a retailer listing which appeared literally hours before) and Dead Ringers (thanks to an actor mentioning he was involved in the extras). I can't see how most of their proposed SDCC slate (assuming they announce 10+ titles) would leak so early.

2) On the evidence of that recent podcast, I think Scream are quite conscious of fans griping over 'double-dips', so I'd be surprised if they announced so many at one event, knowing the type of response they're likely to get (even if there are some huge grabs here). In last year's SDCC announcement they limited the re-releases to Poltergeist 2 and 3, which was fine as we got 11 'new' titles on top of that. I expect double dips to be in there, but not to this extent.

3) Most titles announced at SDCC will be released in the period from November 2017-Spring 2018. There are some major titles here, and we know Scream like to release heavy hitters in the Sep-Oct period.

4) Though MGM seem willing to licence almost anything, I have to think Terminator remains out of bounds. MisterLime said as much only earlier this month, and I can't see why anything would have changed since then.

5) Apparently Arrow are working on a 4K restoration of Killer Klowns. Such a release surely can't be UK-only given the costs involved. Either that, or they're splitting costs with Shout (a la To Live and Die in L.A.)


This isn't to say that I don't believe Scream won't acquire the Child's Play and Jaws sequels eventually. Infact I could see them announcing Child's Play 2 and 3 at SDCC. I just don't think we'll see all the titles on that list revealed at SDCC.

Don't be one of those people.

You can't get those Childs Play movies outside of the boxset. Plus Jaws 3D looks awful currently, Universal were lazy shits with the current release.

For Childs Play though, the box set was something like $35-38 for the initial trilogy in a nice tight little package. That's a pretty good price. I consider the other movies that are included in the box set as "bonuses".

TV Cuts are an interesting thing to see for sure though I am not sure if I would ever gravitate to them other than as a curiosity.

[StingingVelvet]

The MGM is so perfect for Terminator with the 4k scan, they would have to LOAD that sucker up with new extras to make it enticing. Also the MGM would likely look better due to perfect encoding (no offense Shout fans).

[DetroitSportsFan]

I can't see MGM licensing Terminator.

[LeeFanatic007]

I'd pick up a new Blu-ray of Jaws 3-D if the picture quality is better, the 2D print was pretty bad on the Blu-ray.
