We can all hope, but I think the reality is that Paramount will wait until a new theatrical film is announced before they move ahead with plans for the Blu-Rays.
I didn’t see anywhere where there is a video. If anyone knows of a video post the link here and then I will add it to this story. Thanks.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FRIDAY 13TH!!!!!
awesome win, but an award for best packaging? The new cover art looks like crap! I guess a win is a win, though.
