Shout Factory Launches ‘Shout Select’

Published

on

Shout Factory, the wonderful company behind Scream Factory, has announced a new addition to their brand called Shout Select. From the sounds of it appears as if this new umbrella will focus on genre movies that aren’t horror, which is terrific news. Scream Factory has done a great job bringing some of the best in horror to Blu-ray in recent years so I’m very eager to see what the company can do for other genre works.

They’ve announced a handful of releases so far including The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across The 8th Dimension (Collector’s Edition) and John Carpenter’s Elvis, which will both be welcome additions. And this is just the tip of the iceberg! Physical media is alive and well!

Check out the Facebook announcement from Shout Factory below:

Today Shout Factory launched an all-new series of film releases called Shout Select. Shout Select shines a light on films that deserve a spot on your shelf. From acknowledged classics to cult favorites to unheralded gems, Shout Select celebrates the best in filmmaking, giving these movies the love and attention they deserve.

Launching with The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across The 8th Dimension (Collector’s Edition), John Carpenter’s Elvis and Midnight Run (Collector’s Edition), we have many more films lined up for the rest of 2016, 2017 and beyond!

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones.
