Deadlands 2 HD DVD rises from the grave for a limited run
And here we were thinking that the Deadlands 2 labor of love has passed peacefully on to the next world. Appropriately enough for a zombie flick (or whatever it is, we haven't actually bothered to watch the trailer that closely -- though if you're interested, there is a free download of the entire flick on the director's website) even cancellation could not stop a limited edition HD DVD-R run from reaching the faithful who preordered. After all the shipping issues and a lackluster DVD effort the film will apparently no longer be distributed by Anthem Pictures, though it could see a "proper release" by another company. Still, we never expected a new HD DVD to ship in 2010, leaving us to wonder if the inevitable Deadlands 3 will keep the streak going next year. [Thanks, Popeye9000]
Deadlands 2 cancellation puts an unnecessary nail in HD DVD's coffin
We're sure there's a few people out there still waving the Red flag, unfortunately for them a planned last hurrah for HD DVD won't go off, as the release of Deadlands 2: Trapped on the format has been cancelled. Director Gary Ugarek had attempted a limited edition pressing of the flick to raise dormant HD-A1s and the like from the dead but ran into "one too many roadblocks" including U.S. printers backing out and has been forced to end the project. Those already on the preorder list can email Anthem Pictures at info@anthemdvd.com for a refund, while others can check the trailer after the break and wonder what might have been..
