God I wish. Just watched the DVD a few months ago

I literally just came here to ask the same thing. Would be awesome if we get a scream factory blu ray. I have a downloaded avi file from 4 years ago that I just found & watched again for the 2nd time & I believe it to be the best of all Romero's films.. which is saying alot. Even the dvd's online are expensive as hell. Come on scream factory..

I asked Scream Factory about the possibility of them releasing a Martin blu-ray and they told me they couldn't get the rights to do it. They're actually really good at answering questions on facebook, so checking back now and again wouldn't be a bad idea. I wouldn't hold my breath though. Supposedly the licensing rights to Martin are absurdly expensive which is why it's had a variety of short lived video releases.

Oh.

First off, it's with Lionsgate, and they don't license out.

Second, as someone said, it's very expensive if you CAN get it.

Finally, Arrow Video UK said that the original elements are in terrible shape, and aren't fit at this time for a blu ray, and no existing scan is good enough, either.
