In other news, for fans of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, GKids and Shout! Factory are releasing Spirited Away and Castle in the Sky as new Blu-ray Steelbook editions on 12/15. Also coming that day is GKids and Shout!’s Blu-ray edition of Goro Miyazaki’s From Up on Poppy Hill (SRP $19.98). Similarly, their Steelbook BD editions of Princess Mononoke and My Neighbor Totoro are due on 10/20.
Vinegar Syndrome has set Amityville: It’s About Time, Amityville: A New Generation, Amityville 4: The Evil Escapes, Amityville: Dollhouse, and Memorial Valley Massacre for release on Blu-ray on 10/27.
And don’t forget that El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie is coming to Blu-ray finally on 10/13.
Finally today, I wanted to recommend a pair of comic book releases for fans of Blade Runner: Titan Comics has recent published the first two (of three—the third volume comes out in February) collected editions of Blade Runner 2019: Los Angeles and Off-World. They tell a new story that begins roughly concurrent with the events of the original film, then jumps ahead several years. And it’s written by Michael Green, the co-writer (with Hampton Fancher) of Blade Runner 2049. I’ve read both now and they’re pretty terrific. In fact, I think—using the new Unreal engine/volume technology that makes The Mandalorian possible—you could make a pretty dam good one-season streaming series out of this story on HBO Max. In any case, you can find them on Amazon here and here and I can’t recommend them more highly for Blade Runner fans. Here’s what they look like...
We’ll leave you with a look at the Blu-ray cover artwork for a few of the titles we’ve mentioned today (and recently), with Amazon pre-order links is available...
Have a great weekend and we’ll see you back here on Monday!
