Astron-6/Troma FATHER'S DAY Blu-ray NEW NEWS!

J Hurtado, Contributing Writer
This just in!

Just reported from Troma Team Video both on their Facebook page and in the comments of our own article, Troma has decided to REINSTATE the special features they cut from the Father's Day Blu-ray last week! You can check the links below for past details, but this marks a big improvement in what seems to be a somewhat unsatisfactory situation.

In their official announcement, Troma has stated that the package will go from a 2 disc set to a 4 disc set, which includes a Blu-ray/DVD version of the film, along with deleted scenes, a special features DVD including Behind the Scenes footage, SFX featurettes, and more! The CD soundtrack is BACK on the menu, and will include Night of the Hunter and We Are The Universe among others. Worth noting is the fact that Astron-6's self-produced No Sleep No Surrender will not be available on the disc, nor will the commentary, but according to the guys it will be available down the line at some point (the doc, not necessarily the commentary).

I don't know what changed Troma's mind about this situation, though I think it would be safe to assume that the backlash in support of these features and Astron-6 probably had something to do with it. If we, here at Twitch, were of any help at all, then I consider that day's work a success.

Support Astron-6!
Special Features:
- Blu-ray/DVD versions of the film
- Deleted scenes
- 2 SFX videos - Making of the poster video
- On the road footage at festival of fear
- On the set footage
- And more!
Around the Internet:
  • Conor

    There is no difference between this release and the original one Troma announced, save for the EP with a couple of songs on it.

  • Ttv

    I don't know where the rumor started that we were stripping any release of the film down, we simply were not getting the the doc from Astron.

    We were never going to release just the film on DVD or BR.

    on a side note J Hurtado, send ttv on facebook a message so we can send you a screener
