Like, two years ago, Synapse said they were starting work on a blu-ray transfer of the movie. So where is it? Has there been any word on it?
"They don't make straightjackets like they used to. I should know..."
I still cannot believe they're still working on it-- it's been in the pipeline for over three years now. I know Synapse does quality releases-- some of the best, in fact-- but come on already!
shareThe fact it's taking so long makes me wish they'd gone full force and done a 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray version just so we could enjoy those colours in HDR/WCG. I bet it would look absolutely incredible with the right treatment.
Looking forward to the release anyway, and hope it's announced soon so I can add it to my collection.
It's the Duke Nukem Forever of blu-ray releases.
shareWhat's the point?
This low quality piece of trash isn't going to look any better, it is not possible
for this to look better just by putting it on a Blu-ray disc.
Oh, it's coming! No street date yet, but it's up for pre-order.

It's after midnight, so technically, that means today is the official release date. People on the Blu-ray.com forums are saying the picture and audio are a revelation.
It's on my Christmas list. I'm eagerly awaiting it.
If you missed your chance to grab the limited-edition Steelbook last month, you're in luck. Synapse will be releasing their restoration in a much wider run. The date is set for March 13.
There's a DVD (which is pretty barebones), a single-disc Blu-ray (again, barebones), and the crème de la crème if you can't get the Steelbook... a two-disc special edition with everything that the Steelbook had, except for the Goblin soundtrack CD and the Steelbook artwork.
The 2-disc has reversible artwork with the original white figure/red blood on side side and Scream Factory-style artwork on the flipside.
