Severin Films announced today that its upcoming Blu-ray releases of the
Killer Crocodile will be delayed. The delay will be two weeks.
Here's the message from the label:
"Due to an unfortunate misunderstanding we were unable to use the interviews produced for the UK release of the
Killer Crocodile films. Fortunately, the top production company in the Italian featurette business, Freak-O-Rama video productions, shot terrific new interviews this week with all the participants we initially advertised. This annoyance will put the release date back 2 weeks, but the results will be well worth it.
Killer Crocodile (Limited Slip Case Edition with bonus Blu-ray
Killer Crocodile 2) will start shipping from the Severin store as soon as we have finished goods in hand and will be officially released from other outlets on September 10."
