Fox has also finally officially confirmed the remastered in 4K reissue of the Coen Brothers’ Fargo on Blu-ray on 4/1, no doubt timed to take advantage of the debut of the new Fargo TV series on FX (it starts airing on 4/15, starring Martin Freeman, Billy Bob Thornton and Bob Odenkirk). Extras will include audio commentary with director of photography Roger A. Deakins, the Minnesota Nice featurette, a trivia track, an American Cinematographer article, a photo gallery, the film’s theatrical trailer and a TV spot.

Meanwhile, Scream Factory has announced final details on their forthcoming Blu-rays of Evilspeak and Final Exam, both due on 5/13. Both feature new transfers. Evilspeak will have audio commentary with producer/director Eric Weston, interviews with cast members Joseph Cortese, Clint Howard, and Don Stark, new interviews with Richard Moll, Claude Earl Jones, Haywood Nelson, Loren Lester, and Lynn Hancock, and the film’s trailer. Final Exam will include audio commentary and interviews with Cast Members Joel Rice, Cecile Bagdadi, and Sherry Willis-Burch, and the trailer.

Scream’s parent company, Shout! Factory, has also announced that they’ve acquired the U.S. distribution rights to the indie film Brazilian Western (Faroeste Caboclo) and will release it in theaters and on disc later this year.
