GORGO coming to Blu-ray on March 19th!

First off, a huge thanks to Kevin over at wtf-Film (which is sadly no longer updated) for sharing this on his Facebook page earlier today. Secondly... HOLY KAIJU SH*T! GORGO IS COMING TO BLU-RAY! And this isn't some cheapo DVD rip either; this is a legit "we totally give a f*ck about Gorgo" release!

VCI has released this title twice onto DVD (once in 2000 and then again in 2005) and each one had its flaws, which hopefully have been rectified now that they've supposedly gone back to original film elements and made an all new restoration for this release. We shall find out for sure on March 19th!

VCI's new disc promises a 1.85:1 widescreen aspect ratio in glorious HD, with enhanced 5.1 surround sound (with English and French audio options), and it will be PACKED to the gills with extras! (And it will sporting spiffy new cover art as well, as you can see..)

Special features on the disc include:

• "Ninth Wonder Of The World: The Making Of Gorgo" a new documentary by Daniel Griffith
•  Gorgo - Video Comic Book and Comic Book Cover Gallery
•  Extensive Lobby Card & Poster Gallery
• Photo Gallery
• Gorgo Toys and Collectibles Gallery
• Production Notes
• Original Theatrical Trailer
• Pressbook Gallery
• Star Ciné Cosmos - French-language "fumetto" (comic book)
• Before and After Restoration Video

I'm one of those crazy people who buys a new edition of a film every time it comes out in a new format, or even a new DVD/Blu-ray release, so I'll be picking this up! You can pre-order the all new sexy edition of GORGO (on Blu-ray or DVD) right now at Amazon.com for the low price of $14.99!
