Also today, Universal will release Kirk Jones’ My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 on Blu-ray on 9/29, along with Roel Reine’s Death Race 2.
I’m not sure who the distributor is (it’s listed as Toho Company), but Amazon currently has the classic Japanese kaiju films Latitude Zero (1969), Space Amoeba (1970), and The Magic Serpent (1966) set for Blu-ray and DVD release on 7/9 (SRP $18 and $16 respectively). The first two films were directed by Ishirō Honda, while the latter is by Tetsuya Yamauchi.

Finally today, some of you may recall that last week we mentioned that The Philip K Dick Film Festival would be live streaming a discussion with Blade Runner: The Final Cut restoration producer (and our old friend here at The Bits) Charles de Lauzirika. Well, they did earlier today and you can now view the entire 67-minute long discussion below on YouTube. It’s well worth your time, so enjoy...
That’s all for now. Stay tuned!
