John Carpenter’s iconic action film, Escape From New York, is set to receive a stylish Steelbook edition, highlighting its significance as one of the paramount movies of the 1980s. This film has profoundly influenced both filmmakers and the gaming industry, inspiring classics like Metal Gear and the groundbreaking Cyberpunk novel Neuromancer.
The new Steelbook edition, available for preorder at $45, enhances the previously released Escape From New York Collector’s Edition 4K Blu-ray, featuring stunning new cover art. This special edition includes numerous commentary tracks, notably featuring insights from Carpenter and actor Kurt Russell, along with an array of behind-the-scenes content exploring the film’s creation and special effects. Fans can also look forward to deleted scenes and extensive photo galleries, making it a comprehensive collection for enthusiasts of the film.
The highly anticipated release of the Escape From New York 4K Steelbook edition is scheduled for November 5. While preorders can be made for $45, there are competitive offers, such as one for $35 from other retailers. This competitive pricing suggests that price adjustments may occur before the release date. Furthermore, customers can take advantage of a price-match guarantee on preorders, ensuring they are charged the lowest price if the cost changes prior to shipping.
For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, the original Escape From New York Collector’s Edition is still available for $26, providing almost identical content at a lower price.
In addition, fans of John Carpenter can preorder an exciting new release: Halloween: The Game, which comes in a unique collector’s edition. This edition bundles together Halloween with another highly anticipated title, Ash vs. The Evil Dead, and includes an 8-inch Michael Myers plush toy, all packaged in a retro VHS-style case.
