‘Jaws’. Blu-ray. August 2012.
Easily the most important news of 2011 is The Digital Bits landing early word that Universal Home Entertainment is slotting Steven Spielberg’s classic 1975 summer blockbuster Jaws for a Blu-ray release on August 14, 2012. Spielberg told AICN earlier this year that the release (thankfully) won’t be amended (like he did with E.T.) in any way leaving in all wires and other visible bruises.
They’ve also been told that at least some of the sequels may be released on Blu-ray on the same day, including Jaws 3D on Blu-ray 3D.
In other brief HD news, they also report that Universal is working on plans to release a Blu-ray box set of the classic Universal Monsters films in time for Halloween 2012! AWESOME.
The Vice Press Home Video label is back, and we’ve learned that they’re joining forces with Paramount Home Entertainment to bring Alex Proyas’ classic The Crow back to VHS.
Featuring artwork by Matt Ferguson, and formatted by both Matt Ferguson and Florey, the upcoming VHS release from Vice Press Home Video comes in two editions.
The standard slipcase edition of 1,250 features a red on tape design and will be available from both Vice Press, along with Amazon, HMV and Rarewaves on PAL format.
The Vice Press Exclusive Edition release of 250 features white tapes with black on tape design, and will only be available from Vice Press and will only be available on UK PAL format.
The Crow will be available to pre-order at 7pm ET tonight, June 22 at Vice-Press.com! Please note that PAL Format tapes will only play on European VHS players.
You’ll be able to grab both editions for £34.99 each.
In the 1994 movie starring the late Brandon Lee, Eric Draven’s fiancée is killed alongside Draven, setting the film’s revenge storyline into motion. It spawned a handful of sequels.
