Same old same old, this time with a DVD on the other side. They are going to re-release this one forever until the new, definitive one comes along I guess.
Van Ling said:It's a real shame, since he really can't commercially use or post the footage because it's of the studio's intellectual property and technically contains footage from the final film, and we can't use it because actual material may in fact be owned by him and he'll sue over its use (again) even though he has no rights over the IP content itself. It's a big mess, and sadly, will likely not get resolved.

So this same guy has Robocop, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Terminator material? And he won't license it out to anybody? Surely he'd make more from a license fee than the piddling amount he's likely to make from the Amazon sale.Originally Posted by Fritz Nilsen
Van.
If it's any consolation, and if you weren't already aware, I believe it was Paul Sammon who had the same difficulty getting access to his Robocop material for the Criterion LD back in the day.
He's also issued a Making of Nightmare on Elm Street DVD over on Amazon.
