Will MARTIN ever see the light of day again?

[Eddie Quist]

It annoys me that such a classic film went out of print so quickly on DVD...

What do you think the odds are of Anchor Bay ever re-releasing it or maybe even doing a special edition of it in the near future?

I think it's weird how it kinda quietly went OOP. I luckily snagged a copy of it at Border's after I heard it was going. It was a lucky find too, as I had been looking for it for a while. A truly awesome movie. I remember the VHS has a little cover thing you can pull back...ah it was cool. But this isn't helping you any (probably just really pissing you off :D), but I have no idea about a re-release.

[Eddie Quist]

It actually reminds me of my story... I went to my local FYE. They had one fucking copy left. Like a moron, I didn't buy it then, thinking that I would just pick it up another time... Lo and behold, I heard that it went OOP, I went back to the FYE to get that last copy, and, you guessed it, they sold it already! :fire: :fire:

This is why they HAVE to re-release it, so this sad incident can stop haunting me. :D :D

I scored one on ebay for $30 not too long ago. I hate the dvd cover. I always loved the original vampire's teeth razor blade MADE IN USA cover. I've been thinking of getting that tattooed on my neck for quite some time.

[Eddie Quist]

I probably will have to bid on a copy on Ebay soon enough...

[life_o_petey]

after i heard it was oop i got it off ebay. It just pissed me off because i remember seeing it in stores and passing it up to get something else...and of course it goes oop and is nowhere to be found.

And i would think someone will release it again, but i haven't heard anything.

If Anchor Bay still has the rights it's pretty much guaranteed it'll be released again. They re-issue stuff so often it's not even funny.

I thought this was gonna be about the mythical three and a half hour version of Martin.:( I would kill to see that!
Martin's OOP!:eek: This is news to me. Heck, Knightriders is still available and that one had the same street date as Martin. Maybe we'll see a re-release from AB or BU in the future.

[Andrew]

Yeah Mark that was my initial thought as well.

[thrashard76]

Maybe Blue Underground could pick up the rights to this one and give it a SE release. ;)

[Damin J. Toell]

I e-mailed AB about this last year, and they informed me that they no longer have the rights to Martin.

Is this any good? I own it just havent had time to watch it yet.

[The Chaostar]

it is a masterpiece, one of Romero's best.
Extremely bleak and shit-hearted!

I e-mailed AB about this last year, and they informed me that they no longer have the rights to Martin.

Hmmmm......that is interesting. I wander who does?

[Eddie Quist]

There's more to the story than what Anchor Bay is saying I bet. There was obviously some reason that they had to pull it as quickly as they did.

[bigdaddyhorse]

I also waited too long to grab the $11.99 copy at Media Play, and am now S.O.L. as well.:(
I figured I'll get a copy sometime, but the cover didn't look that good and I'd been seeing a lot of really shitty horror movies back then, so I didn't gamble on that disc.
Oh well, win some, lose some!
If anyone wants to trade theirs, holla at a cracker!:D
