Scream Factory announced this past Friday that their “Collector’s Edition” release of LIFEFORCE (which came out in June of 2013) is now an out-of-print item and will be replaced with another version.
Here’s what will be different about the new product on all future pressings:
- The vintage “Making of Lifeforce” featurette will no longer be available.
- Artwork is slightly different: The original theatrical artwork is now front-facing, and the Justin Osbourn-created piece will be on the reverse wrap.
- They are removing the “Collector’s Edition” branding.
- Slipcover will not be offered.
Because of these changes, they felt it was only fair to also lower the price.
If you already have the Collector’s Edition version – like most hardcore fans of the film did – then this strategy does not affect you except that the CE version is now more “collector-y” than before.
Additionally, this change-of-plans in unique only to this release. This is a special case that was unforeseen so please do not be concerned that this will happen on a regular basis with other Collector Editions.
Release date for the new, lower-priced version is set for 9/9.
