We didn’t really need to see the artwork for Scream Factory’s highly-anticipated release of the Collector’s Edition of John Carpenter’s legendary film ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK to know it was going to be a thing of awesome beauty. But now that it’s here, we might as well show it off! The artwork comes to us from Paul Shipper, putting Snake front and center alongside the incredible ensemble cast. Dig it below!
You can pre-order the Blu-ray right now on Scream Factory’s website as the release is set for April 21, 2015.
In a world ravaged by crime, the entire island of Manhattan has been converted into a walled prison where brutal prisoners roam. But when the US president (Donald Pleasence) crash-lands inside, only one man can bring him back: notorious outlaw and former Special Forces war hero Snake Plissken (Russell). But time is short. In 24 hours, an explosive device implanted in his neck will end Snake's mission – and his life – unless he succeeds!
Extras (new & existing) are still in progress and will be announced in full details sometime in Feb. This is a 2-disc blu-ray set and will exceed the previous DVD special edition.
