According to the studio’s press release, the set will include “16 discs and is loaded with all-new special features including a discussion with the cast as well as a look at what makes Nancy so desirable and why many of her lovers met an early demise.” So there you go.
Magnolia Home Entertainment has set Syrup for Blu-ray and DVD release on 11/5.

For you music fans, Eagle Rock Entertainment has set The Doors: R-Evolution for Blu-ray and DVD release on 12/3 (SRP $19.98 and $14.98). There’s also a Deluxe Edition of the title on each format (SRP $49.98 and $39.98).

Meanwhile, Arrow Video in the U.K. has announced the U.K. Blu-ray release of Brian De Palma’s The Fury on 10/28. “Arrow’s deluxe edition of THE FURY will come loaded with a never-before-seen selection of special features, bonus material and an in-depth collector’s booklet, many of which have been independently sourced and appear here for the very first time. Sam Irvin, who worked as an intern on THE FURY and is now an acclaimed film-maker in his own right, is currently available for interview to talk about his time on-set and what it was like working with De Palma. Sam’s short-film tribute to De Palma, Double Negative, appears as an exclusive extra.” Sounds pretty great. You may recall that Twilight Time released the title here in the States earlier this year in a “limited edition” of 3000 units which are already sold out. The only extras on that version were an isolated score and the film’s trailer.
