UK distributor Second Sight Films announced last year that they were restoring George A. Romero‘s Dawn of the Dead for an upcoming 4K Ultra HD release, with the original camera negative provided by producer Richard P. Rubenstein. They’ve been hard at work on scanning, grading, framing and restoring, and we’ve now been provided with a release date today.
Available on Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD, Dawn of the Dead will release on October 26.
Second Sight will also release a restoration of Romero’s Martin (Blu-ray) on the same day.
The Dawn set will feature Romero’s Original, Unrated US Theatrical Release Cut (2:07), Romero’s Pre-US Release Cannes Cut (2:17) and the foreign edition edited by Dario Argento.
Full details will be revealed on March 27th, and we’re expecting new bonus contents.
