Scanners coming to blu-ray and it's region free!!
 

Yep!You heard it right!Scanners,the classic from David Cronenberg finally comes to blu-ray courtesy of Second Sight Films,and it's region free!Here's the link:http://www.joblo.com/horror-movies/n...n-free-blu-ray

Gonna get the entire trilogy :)

I wish they also released part 4 and 5, also called as "Scanner Cop 1 and 2" over here in Europe.

iam gonna suck your brain dry.

I'll be waiting to see how the domestic Criterion and Shout blus compare. I imagine Criterion will be getting Cronenberg's involvement, which the Second Sight disc seems to be missing.

Is this official that Criterion is going to release Scanners this year?If so,it's a blind buy for me!If Criterion does for Scanners what they did for Videodrome,that will be great!

I think i'll wait for the Criterion one.But the steelbook is a big plus for the region free one!:D

Criterion released a drawing at the beginning of the year that contains hints of what's to come. Someone touched it up for ease of guessing.

:evil:

Bad news folks, Second Sight just posted over FB their 3 Scanners releases are now region B locked!!! Oh well, I'll just wait for criterion and shout to come through.

Um, this certainly throws a wrench into everything. I'm withdrawing my Second Sight preorder for the trilogy (I thought all their stuff was region-free??) until I know for sure that Criterion is actually releasing the original. Then when Shout confirms the specs for their release(s) I'll decide how to proceed but all of this back-and-forth is baffling to me.

Now we got no choice to wait!!It's probably region b now because of Criterion and Shout! releasing those movies in North America.But why change everything at the last minute?:confused:

Yep! The reason SS have had to lock their release is due to the Criterion version coming out.

It's been a not very well kept secret for about 6 months that it's coming soon, Around June I believe ;)
