Yeah, I sympathize with anybody who doesn't have it that wants it. The second hand market is kinda ridic but if folks refused to pay extortion prices, these clowns wouldn't get to take advantage.

P.S. your theater is outta site.

So, I researched it, here and elsewhere, and now know the rights are up for grabs and Anchor's disc is OOP and Phantasm's Well Go might clean it up for a more modern looking BluRay/4K.

Okay here's my question: is there any official light on this or could DOTD in America be MIA like how Night still is? I know about a European release, but I don't want that. Curious to see if this title, especially after George's passing, is going to get respect in USA?

Except Night isn't anymore, with 2 different releases coming out.

Thanks, I appreciate that.

Luckily I bought it years ago at BestBuy for $10. I almost bought the Arrow release last year and didn't in hopes North America will get another shot. I think this might be my most anticipated re-release. I should have bought it last year.

Regardless of if and when a new version of Dawn will be released I have to keep my Anchor Bay copy:

Hopefully there will be news about a release soon, especially for those who don't have it.

Yeah. Well, you're on the level.

The price on the Anchor Bay Blu ray isn't as bad as some other OOP titles. I've seen it go for $40-50 a few times on eBay even $35. You just got to keep checking. Almost pulled the trigger a few times, But I'll wait for a re-release.

Any signs pointing to a new release of this anytime soon? Who owns the rights?

Richard P. Rubenstein. He formerly of Laurel Productions. He owns the rights to Romero's "Martin" and "Dawn of the Dead", and asks insane prices to license them.

Brother, you're striking out with these inquiries. Need to bark up less heartbreaking trees.

Curse his name. Visit his site. Dream of a release. Dream that sending a mail would help. Curse his name.

All that, plus:
Hope his offspring or whoever the rights will go to when he gets bit, will be reasonable.

Is Dawn even available for purchase on streaming sites? Would be funny if the shitty looking Anchor Bay release I have is the best Dawn ever looks.

Not on any streaming sights that I know of. My US blu and 4 disc DVD set are good enough for me at the moment.

Well technically the Arrow transfer is the best it looks. The Aussie relase has it, that's the one I have.
