The Burbs Blu Rays and Extras

Does anyone know if it's going to be released in the US as well as the UK?

I was just looking at the artwork for the steelbook and I noticed they forgot to put Tom Hanks' name anywhere on the case. I know it's only temporary artwork, but I hope they don't forget to add his name in!

Here's the image for it, and note no mention of Tom in the credits on the back:

Heh...good observational skills.

Mentioning Carrie Fisher & Bruce Dern and not Tom Hanks (which is the main character in the film), is a major screwup. What are these people thinking? I can't take them seriously after that.

What did they pay for getting the rights to distribute the Blu-Ray version? Did they pay with Milk-Stamps?

I'm pretty sure they will put Hanks' name on it in the final version. Or maybe they are taking some kind of revenge because Tom occasionally kind of didn't seem proud of that movie?

@ DemonPrincess: I don't know if it's going to be released in the US as well.
 
When I noticed that Tom's name wasn't on the credits on the back, I thought it must have been on the front cover above the title. But it wasn't. Maybe in the final version on the front it will say, "Tom Hanks in", and then under it, "The Burbs." Then his name wouldn't need to be on the back.

I get the feeling none of this artwork is final. I wonder if the cover night turn out to be completely different on the steelbook.
 
The Arrow Blu-ray has been delayed to August 25.

***THE ‘BURBS RELEASE DATE CHANGE***
We are very sorry to announce that the release date for The ‘Burbs will have to be pushed back to August 25th.

We have had to push the date back to August due to our work on the brand new restoration and also due to the fact that we are working hard on some brand new and exclusive extras.

The new restoration will be performed from original vault elements held by Universal and this will be carried out in participation with Joe Dante. Mr Dante is also helping us secure some very exclusive extra content which has never been seen before including deleted and alternate scenes. As we lock everything down we will be announcing the full specs closer to the time, which should ensure this is the definitive version of The ‘Burbs!

Once again we are really sorry to have to push back the date for this much anticipated title but are very confident that it will be very much worth the wait!
 
Damn it! This is literally the worst news I've ever heard (ok, maybe not that bad). But I guess the good news is the new extras we'll get in return for the waiting...

By the way, where did you get that press release, Pizza Dude? I've got pre orders in a couple of places, including Arrow, and I didn't hear anything from them. There's nothing on their site yet either, except the changed release date.

EDIT: Never mind. Just found the press release on Arrow's blog: http://arrowvideodeck.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/the-burbs-release-date-change.html
 
"It's a pity Ray, isn't it?"

"...It's...a pity."

But well in this case I can even deal with it since we will be having a way better final product after all is said and done.
 
When I read of the two month delay my first instinct was to do the Ray and Art "scream while you're holding femur bone" scream. But I gathered myself together just in time.

I hope this two month wait means we get a Joe Dante commentary. And maybe even one or two of the actors might take part (although obviously not Tom...)

Yeah obviously not Tom but didn't I read somewhere that Courtney Gains is aboard? I've seen some image on the net which showed him visiting the studio in order to make an audio commentary.

So it seems there is already a German Blu-ray available that came out last week. It has an introduction by Dante and a featurette called "You Can't Kill Tom Hanks!"

Does anybody have this?
