Why is this aired so little?


Of the Dead movies, why is Dawn so hard to find being aired?

reply

Richard Rubenstein (the executive producer and one of the rights holders in the United States) is notorious for charging a high amount for the rights to air it or give it a home release, the last one we had in the United States was a DVD release in 2004 from Anchor Bay.

Even then, I think Rubenstein cut Anchor Bay a deal because the remake was out in theaters at the time and he probably got some kickbacks from that.

Yep, the blame falls on Richard Rubinstein. It's the same with Romero's previous movie Martin.

I've not re-watched Dawn of The Dead for over a year because I was hoping to see it on blu-ray but I guess I'll be waiting a while longer...
