Exciting and confusing news from the good folks at the R2 Project (http://www2.r2-dvd.org/article.jsp?sectionId=3&articleId=3271) :
Here's a couple of dates for Anchor Bay releases over the next few months:

"Nuns on the Run" 11th March
"Evil Dead - Book of the Dead" 11th March (another special edition perhaps?)
"Runaway Train" 8th April
"The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue " 8th April
"The Long Good Friday " 5th May
"The Missionary " 5th May

Now I'm very interested in the Long Good Friday (:clap: ), but I'm bemused by the Evil Dead:BotD. Will this be the same as the US release ?

edited - title to be more meaningful.

I can confirm it is listed by their PR company, Evil Dead - Book of the Dead - 11th Mar 2002, but there are no details as yet.

Any specs or extras on this one?
I have the barebones Criterion, but I might be interested in an upgrade.

This is released just a week after the R1 'Book of the dead' version so it must be the same - which is cool cos NTSC sucks!!

I've just added to the DVDTimes News Item (http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/index.cgi?page=News&id=2577) as the PR company have added a couple more AB titles to the slate...

8th April - All Dogs Go To Heaven

5th May - Death Machine

Interesting (though not unexpected) to see they've changed Let Sleeping Corpses Lie to the more familiar The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue for the British release.
