After releasing John Carpenter's Escape From New York on a Collector's Edition Blu-ray back in 2015, Scream Factory is now giving Snake Plissken's second big screen adventure the same celebratory treatment with an Escape from L.A. Collector's Edition Blu-ray that will hit shelves in April.
Announced on Scream Factory's Facebook page, the Escape From L.A. Collector's Edition Blu-ray is slated for an April 28th release. Special features will be announced in March, and Scream Factory is looking to include a new transfer of the movie. Stay tuned to Daily Dead for more updates, and check out the official announcement and new cover art (by artist Hugh Fleming) below:
