So, here’s what Anchor Bay has to say about the upcoming huge “Dawn of the Dead” dvd …
DAWN OF THE DEAD (1978) – MULTI-DISC SET
There have been a few folks asking about this set, and soon we will be revealing the details of what promises to be the most extensive edition of any title in Anchor Bay’s history! The release is planned for September, and you can expect multiple versions of the film as well as new commentary tracks and interviews galore. Much more TBA!
The rumor is that the set will definitely have the theatrical cut and director’s cut. I actually prefer the theatrical version as the director’s cut slows the movie down a little too much in the final act. Supposedly, Anchor Bay is trying to acquire the rights to the Dario Argento’s European cut of the film for inclusion on the set as well. Man-oh-man would that be sweet. I guess that we will have to wait until a little closer to September to find out for sure …
