Deep Red

Nothing gives me more joy than rediscovering my favorite films on Blu-ray, which is why I was quite excited for the April 26th bow of Dario Argento's classic giallo Deep Red. Not to worry, it's still coming ... but now we've got to wait a little bit longer. High Def Digest got word that Blue Underground has pushed the release date of Argento's giallo to May 17th, 2011.

2011 is shaping up to be a great year for Dario Argento fans. Not only are we keeping our fingers crossed that Dario will recapture some of his old magic in his upcoming Dracula 3D, but Blue Underground is bringing the maestro's most classic works to Blu-ray in stunning 1080p splendor.

Argento films on Blu-ray are an unmatched treat for the old ocular organs! The depth! The clarity! Those pretty, pretty colors! Yep, it's a wonderful thing, we tell ya! The latest classic flick to go 1080p? Deep Red! Let the celebration begin! Blue Underground announced today that the Argento slasher classic will be hitting DVD and Blu-ray on May 17th, 2011 (Updated)!

While recently speaking with horror maestro George A. Romero about the release of his latest entry into his historic Dead franchise, Survival of the Dead (hitting DVD and Blu-ray tomorrow), he updated us on the future of the Dead and also what happened with that Deep Red rumor from a while back.

Okay, our minds are officially blown. Blown we tell you. The strangest and probably most interesting report out of Cannes today has come in the form of news that legendary filmmaker George Romero will be remaking the also legendary Dario Argento's Deep Red in 3D. Two words ... holy shit.

This July 11th- 24th, the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood will become a true grindhouse -- Italian style! The infamous theater’s got a massive programming schedule of classic spaghetti westerns, crime films, giallos and a lot more, all from Italy’s golden age of cinema!
