They've done their usual high definition remastering job, so it should look better than it's ever done.

This has now been pushed back to early August.

The Woman In Black: why did Britain's scariest horror film disappear? www.theguardian.com/film/2020/aug/07/the-woman-in-black-britain-horror-film-herbert-wise

The article points readers to Network, but it's a shame that it doesn't mention the extras!

(DVD released on Monday).

Worth having a look at the comments to the article. Apparently, some pre-ordered copies have already been delivered.

Mark Gatiss being involved definitely isn't an extra for me!

[John Green]

'Tis now sold out.

"Web-Exclusive Blu-ray release - features limited edition collectible packaging while stocks last" -

so hopefully an unlimited edition without any "collectible packaging" will be available soon, or at least soon-ish...

(Though I always assumed the word is "collectable" with an "a" near the end not an "i" - perhaps wrongly, as my spelling isn't always that great!)

[John Green]

Hm. One or two coptes on ebay.
I expect it's early days!

I'm sure I'm not alone in wondering if (hoping that) this will get a regular DVD release.

I suspect there's a pretty big chance.
Do we know how many copies there were of the limited edition? I must have missed that part.
