Scream Factory Presents: John Carpenter's Escape from LA

Scream Factory has announces plans to release an all-new definitive collector’s edition of John Carpenter’s 1996 sequel “Escape from L.A.” on April 28th. Scream Factory is reportedly trying to make this a new transfer of the film along with packing the set with extras. Kurt Russell’s Snake Plissken returns in this sequel in which he must wade through L.A., which is now a prison, to retrieve a doomsday device for the President. 

This is no where near as good as the original but back in the day this was incredible news that Carpenter and Russell were bringing this iconic character back to the big screen.  I am glad Scream Factory is doing this because the existing blu ray is bare bones and we should get some good extras on this and hopefully a doc on why the budget was cut severely right before production started and this is why the special effects in this look a little shoddy.  I already ordered mine and you can get yours here: https://www.shoutfactory.com/product/escape-from-l-a-collector-s-edition?product_id=7340
