Two Epic Films from Legendary Filmmaker Ridley Scott Arrive as Collector’s Edition Blu-rays This October
Two of Ridley Scott’s best films are coming to Blu-ray in all new collector’s editions. One is more obvious and that is Alien, Scott’s landmark sci-fi/horror feature, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary. The other is Kingdom of Heaven, celebrating its 10th anniversary as Scott’s most underrated feature (granted the Director’s cut version is where it’s at). That said, KOH features an all new cut of the film, the “Director’s Cut ‘Road Show’ Version”, which has a new commentary to go with it. Meanwhile, Alien features some collectible cards and a reprint of the original comic book tie-in. Both Blu-ray sets feature all versions of their film in the same package and many more extra features. Read on to learn more about these upcoming releases, which hit shelves on October 7th, 2014.
