Video Games As High Art
Have you ever found yourself humming a song, only to realize it was the theme from that video game you played until 4 a.m. that morning? Video Games Live is here to legitimize your love of 8-bit tuneage with fully orchestrated renditions of some of the greatest game themes ever written. We’re bringing this masterpiece, Video Games Live: Level 2, to Blu-ray, DVD and CD on October 19. It’s a full-on, global, multimedia concert spectacular and now available—like your game playing—in the comfort of your own home. The release includes never-before-released music and video from Mario™, Zelda™, Halo®, Warcraft® and many more, and is boosted with bonus content. Seeing is believing, though. Check out the trailer at VideoGamesLive.com and look at the tour dates while you’re there. It’s a not-to-be-missed event!
New Roger Cormans Coming Your Way
We’ve been having a blast bringing you the Roger Corman’s Cult Classics series. And according to Twitter and Facebook, you’re pretty okay with how we’ve rolled them out. So we wanted to give you a heads up about what’s coming next. On October 5, The Slumber Party Massacre Collection (2-DVD set) and The Evil /Twice Dead release on DVD. On October 19, you can order The Warrior And The Sorceress/Barbarian Queen directly from us as it’s the latest Shout! Select title (see below). Then on November 2, the Traci Lords sci-fi Not Of This Earth arrives, along with The Terror Within / Dead Space. That’s Corman a-plenty, right? Stay tuned for additional announcements soon. And don’t forget to preorder The Slumber Party Massacre Collection from Shout! to receive the bloodtastic pillow case (while supplies last).
Iron Man Double Take
Did you see Iron Man 2 in the theaters? It was another win for the Marvel superhero and for actor Robert Downey, Jr. That DVD is in stores on Tuesday. And, since you are drawn into the Iron Man story once again, we invite you to preorder Marvel Knights’ Iron Man: Extremis. Boasting a fresh take on the Iron Man origin, highly acclaimed writing by master storyteller Warren Ellis and the magnificent artistry of Adi Granov, Iron Man: Extremis comes to life with the stellar blend of 2D- and 3D-motion comic animation that only Marvel Knights can deliver! The DVD is in stores November 30.
Atchoo! Pardon Our Dust
It’s a little dusty around the Shout! offices, primarily because we’re in the midst of a move. While we’re only relocating two doors down, we’re still doing a lot of house cleaning. We’ve uncovered boxes of VHS tapes, holiday cards from 2004 and more outdated oddities. That’s what eight years in one space will get you. With all that going on, we’re still hard at work on our release schedule, though. Fear not!
On The Road…
Shout! artists with current and upcoming U.S. tour dates include Los Lobos, Jimmie Vaughan, Richard Thompson Marshall Tucker Band and Megadeth. On the non-music side, Warren Miller's latest film extravaganza, Wintervention, is heading out across the U.S. Schedule and tickets here.Check their listings to see when they’re in a town near you.
