Scream Factory has announced that its upcoming Blu-ray release of Bob Brooks' thriller
Tattoo (1981) has been canceled. According to a statement issued by the label, currently there are no suitable elements for a new master that can be used to source a Blu-ray release.
Scream Factory's complete statement:
"We hate to break bad news but our previously announced Blu-ray release of the 1981 thriller TATTOO has been cancelled.
We're sincerely sorry for getting hopes up for anyone who was interested in the release. (We were excited about it too.) Unfortunately, it was discovered later in our production process that we did not have usable film elements to create a new and suitable HD master. If any developments that are promising on that front surfaces in the future, we'll put it back on the schedule and re-announce.
