Shout! Factory has reissued John Carpenter's They Live in a SteelBook with new artwork (see Screenshot #1). First pressings are limited to 10,000 units. While disc content appears identical to Shout!'s first release, the label has produced a different picture disc (see #s 2 and specifically 19 for a comparison). For my colleague Marty Liebman's thoughts on the film and a/v specs, check out his review of the Collector's Edition.
Back and front covers of THEY LIVE'S US SteelBook.
They Live appears in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1 on this MPEG-4 AVC-encoded BD-50. The main feature sports an average video bitrate of 30000 kbps. Screenshot #s 3-18 comprise frame grabs from this transfer.
They Live's audio options consist of a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 remix (2134 kbps, 24-bit) and the movie's original Dolby mix rendered as a DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Surround (1632 kbps, 24-bit).
Shout! replicates its bonus materials from the first release:
If you didn't get Shout!'s first standard BD case/slipcover release of They Live, I would definitely say go for this SteelBook package!
