Wow arrow potentially releasing phantasm is great news. Hope it's true

FINGERS CROSSED THAT THEY DO! oh boy

I was personally hoping for Scream just so it'd match the second in terms of packaging, but Arrow is just as great.

The laserdisc box set came with a cd.

Image included a 24k gold CD of the soundtrack with the laserdisc special edition, so there is precedent.

Didn't Paramount co-finance the restoration through JJ Abrams's Bad Robot production company? Can't think of a worse company to handle this than Paramount. Well, worse than Image, I mean. I'm glad that rumor that Image was releasing the franchise isn't true (or doesn't appear to be true any longer). It stands to reason that if Arrow has acquired the first film, that they may have also grabbed the rest, including Part II, which would make more sense. Fingers crossed for a box set!

And it's one of those CD soundtracks that, for whatever reason, the niche soundtrack labels have ignored in this age of releasing just about every score possible.

Unless Scream still has the title licensed out.

They have shot down Phantasm repeatedly - Id say Arrow is more likely.
My thought was Arrow for a UK release, Image for a US release, including the box set of the 4 films. One thing I recall was Image waiting for approval to license Phantasm II from Universal or waiting until Screams release goes OOP

I thought I read that someone bought Image, renamed the company and fired the guy in charge of acquisitions? It was implied that the new company had no interest in home video. Maybe I read the comments wrong.

I am hoping Arrow Video put out a boxset with all 5 films in the UK at least. Yes, even number 5 which looks like a cheap TV movie.

I was referring to Part 2. Scream still has the licensing rights to it.

I'm kind of worn out on the first "Phantasm," but numbers 3 and 4 is what I put in when I watch a "Phantasm" flick. Part 3 is basically a remake of part 2, but without the studio interference that part 2 got, and the larger budget, too. 4 is great for the Tall Man origin scenes alone.

cool news for folks from Texas.

Taking place March 11-19 in Austin, Texas, SXSW will showcase the world premiere of the completed PHANTASM: REMASTERED, J.J. Abrams’ restoration of Don Coscarelli’s classic (an unfinished version showed at Austin’s Butt-Numb-A-Thon last December).

So this was posted today from Variety

"Phantasm,” the classic 1979 horror movie by U.S. cult director Don Coscarelli has been freshly restored largely thanks to J.J. Abrams, who is a longtime fan of the series. Pic is being sold as “Phantasm: Remastered” at Berlin’s EFM mart.

Coscarelli, whose more recent titles include “Bubba Ho-tep” and “John Dies at the End” is licensing rights at EFM to the entire five film “Phantasm” series including the recently completed “Phantasm Ravager” through his Starway International shingle.
