Also, we mentioned a while back that the 3-D Film Archive and ClassicFlix were working on a new 4K restoration of Abbott and Costello’s classic Africa Screams (1949) from 35mm nitrate elements. Well, here’s a look at the trailer! Can’t wait to see it on Blu-ray...

In other news today, our old friend Scott Saslow—a freelance graphic designer who has worked on Blu-ray releases for Arrow Video and Kino Lorber—is doing an AMA on Reddit tomorrow (at 4PM Eastern) here at this link. So do check that out if you’re interested.

And finally today, Tim has uncovered a cool 2 minute segment from Entertainment Tonight in 1994 about John Carpenter’s Escape from New York. It’s sourced from an early VHS and Laserdisc release of the film. You’ll find that here on his YouTube channel (which we highly recommend—he’s got all kinds of cool stuff over there)...

That’s all for now. Stay tuned...!
