Would You Spend $375 For an ‘Inside’ Collector’s Edition?
UPDATE: For clarification, The Inside Collector’s Edition is only available to pre-order from the iam8bit US store, but will ship worldwide.
Chalk this one up to the morbidly curious.
iam8bit and RealDoll (yes, that RealDoll) are partnering with Inside developer Playdead on a mysterious collector’s edition for the award-winning game. Seriously, other than the PlayStation 4 version of the game on disc, and Steam keys for both Inside and Playdead’s earlier hit, Limbo, nothing else is known about this Collector’s Edition. Available only in the US and in limited quantities (that will be determined by the total number of orders placed by Friday, June 8, 2018 at 11:59pm PST), the set will set you back $375 USD, and is expected to ship Q1 2019. At that time, the full contents of the Collector’s Edition will be revealed.
If you think I’m blowing smoke, check out the order page. If I ever wanted to gamble on something, even I don’t know if I would plunk down $375 plus shipping for something like this. But, if you are the type (and are a hardcore Inside and Limbo fan), then by means, satisfy your curiosity, and ours.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
