I have a great deal of fondness for Paul W.S. Anderson‘s 1997 Event Horizon and so am delighted to report that it's getting (in the States, at least) a 'definitive' Collector’s Edition Blu-ray release this Autumn.
In the year 2047 a group of astronauts are sent to investigate and salvage the long lost starship "Event Horizon". The ship disappeared mysteriously 7 years before on its maiden voyage and with its return comes even more mystery as the crew of the "Lewis and Clark" discover the real truth behind its disappearance and something even more terrifying.Currently scheduled for a September 27 street date, from Scream Factory, the new Event Horizon blu-ray can be pre-ordered here .
The first 500 orders will include an exclusive limited-edition 18” x 24” rolled poster of the exclusive new cover illustration by Joel Robinson.
The disc will come with a double-sided sleeve, with the reverse featuring Event Horizon's original theatrical artwork.
On the Scream Factory Facebook page, the company also says:
"New extras are in progress and will be announced on a later date.It is believed they are referring to a legendary 130-minute rough cut of the movie that was shown to test audiences and deemed to have "excessive gore".
We can confirm today that we are doing a new 4K scan of the film!
As for any much-inquired-about additional footage (in addition to what's be presented on prior releases), we are looking into it as best we can.
We welcome any leads you may have alongside our efforts."
As well as more gruesome death scenes, this cut expanded on the character backstories and the nature of the Hell dimension.
Sadly, Anderson has long maintained that much of this footage is long lost.
