Both ‘X-Files’ Feature Films Will Come to Blu-ray
20th Century Fox has finally fully launched the official website for the highly anticipated release of The X-Files: I Want to Believe. While browsing through the site I came across some blogs, one by Producer Frank Spotnitz who chats about some upcoming Blu-ray releases!
Even though there are no known plans to re-release the original TV series on Blu-ray, the films will definitley be arriving on the new HD format.
“We are working on packing the [re-issued] DVD and Blu-Ray DVD releases with as many extras as they will fit, including video and audio commentaries, behind-the-scenes footage, bloopers, trailers, a new documentary, and several other cool surprises,” said Spotnitz on the official blog.
No date has been set, but I’d assume the Blu-rays will be released on the same day as one another.
Visit the official website for more info and check out THE X-FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE in theaters July 25.
One of contemporary horror’s best werewolf movies is 2017’s Good Manners, and it’s finally set to receive a proper physical media release.
Icarus Films is partnering with OCN Distribution to unleash a new Blu-ray that’s now available to preorder via Vinegar Syndrome. and with a limited edition slipcover.
Set in São Paulo, the film follows Clara, a lonely nurse from the outskirts of the city who is hired by mysterious and wealthy Ana to be the nanny of her soon to be born child. Against all odds, the two women develop a strong bond. But a fateful night marked by a full moon changes their plans.
Good Manners is the second collaboration between filmmakers Juliana Rojas and Marco Dutra, who write and direct. Zama’s Rui Poças‘ cinematography captures this unique werewolf tale described as “Disney meets Jacques Tourneur.”
Our own Trace Thurman wrote in his review, “With Good Manners, Rojas and Dutro have made one of the best werewolf movies ever made. That they are able juggle commentaries on racism and classism while still managing to tell two deeply affecting love stories is remarkable.”
