Word has hit via Dread Central that the new 120-page Phantasm Compendium book contained within Well Go's upcoming Blu-Ray Collection has Don Coscarelli speaking on a possible sixth Phantasm movie. His comments on the subject are below. You can read them and the rest of the Compendium when North American Phantasm Collection hits shelves on April 11. This begs the question... is Phantasm more than the sum of the original cast? Or is Phantasm all about the spheres, the 'Cudas, the mythology and the atmosphere? It's an interesting subject to ponder.
“All I can tell you about [Phantasm VI] is rest assured that we are constantly researching and experimenting here in the Phantasm labs, so who knows what we might cook up in the near future. However, I do think that Phantasm: Ravager will be the last you see of the original Phantasm actors in the series.”
Courtesy Amazon, we now have a better look at packaging for the upcoming North American Phantasm Blu-Ray Collection from Well Go USA. Although we don't yet have a complete list of extras, we do know that the Blu-Ray set will come with a 21x27 reversible poster, a commemorative book ("The Phantasm Compendium") and reversible covers for the five film cases in case you prefer them to look more uniform. Major points to Well Go USA for including the original poster artworks on this set!
Both this set and the also upcoming UK Phantasm Collection from Arrow Video are shaping up to be amazing releases. They'll each come with their own exclusive books and what is sure to be a treasure-trove of supplemental materials both old and new. What a great time to be a phan!
The folks at Arrow Video have unveiled a design mock-up for their upcoming six-disc Phantasm Blu-Ray collection. You can see some of these photos below and even more over on their Facebook page. The hotly anticipated set, which will be limited to 10,000 units, also comes with a brand new silver sphere replica and 152-page retrospective book. Phans should take note, however, that this release will be limited to Region 2 (Europe), so you'll need a region-free player if you plan to watch in North America.
Arrow's initial list of bonus features packed a ton of previously seen material. They have yet to release a comprehensive list of supplements, though early word is that they have been hard at work on a slew of newly created extras! Fret not if you're a North American phan - Well Go have also been hard at work on their own Phantasm Blu-Ray collection.
