The Weinstein Company (distributed through Genius Products) plans to release horror legend George A. Romero’s “Diary of the Dead” on Blu-ray Disc this October 21st. No details yet on the tech specs of this release but judging from their currently planned titles I’d say it should be getting BD-50 AVC MPEG-4 treatment and possibly Dolby TrueHD 5.1 but likely only Dolby Digital. Stay tuned to this post, we’ll let you know when the pre-order listing is available on Amazon and more details surface on the release itself.
On the subject: The Weinstein Company apparently does have plans to bring out Rob Zombie’s remake of “Halloween” to Blu-ray the very same day as this latest Romero film — October 21st. Also a week later on October 28th the company plans to release the 2008 film “Hell Ride” Directed by (as well as starring) Larry Bishop and co-starring Dennis Hopper.
