A little while we told you that the 25th Anniversary Edition of EVIL DEAD 2: DEAD BY DAWN is coming to Blu-ray. Now I know what you are thinking ‘this is already out on blu-ray’ and yes one version is already out.
The previously released version did not go over too well with fans, seems the powers that be want to fix that. In a recent interview Michael Felsher (Red Shirt Pictures) told Fangoria “Lionsgate is aware of how dissatisfied people were with the transfer on the previous Evil Dead II Blu-ray, and are taking steps to solve that issue for the new edition.”
The press release for the upcoming Blu-ray stated that the film will have a new HD 1080p transfer. Tentative specs are as follows:
- • All-new audio commentary with cast/crew
- • All-new Swallowed Souls: The Making of Evil Dead II documentary
- • All-new Road to Wadesboro: The Location of Evil Dead II featurette
- • All-new Cabin Fever: Behind the Scenes of Evil Dead II” featurette
- • All-new Evil Dead II interactive archive, featuring production stills, marketing materials, production stills, and early effects tests
- • Vintage featurettes and behind-the-scenes footage
- • TV spots and trailers
Now that sounds like a good release, sign me up please! The classic film was directed by Sam Raimi, it stars Bruce Campbell, Sarah Berry, Dan Hicks, Kassie Wesley DePaiva and Ted Raimi.
