Factory seems the potential in releasing the film on Blu-ray, through their Shout! Select line (Number X for those that are collecting), but unfortunately, we only get the theatrical cut.

The Fall tells the story of Roy, a crippled stuntman in early 20th century Hollywood, and Alexandria, an inquisitive 5-year-old girl he befriends during his hospital stay. Roy has a broken heart and a death wish: during his last (and so far only) film, he

Full disclosure: I have a very vague recollection of the original, Mel Gibson-headlined films in this series so my perspective on how the film looks and feels may not be entirely on point. Because let's face it - when the original films came out (in 1979, 1981, and 1985, respectively), I was technically way too young to have either seen them or better yet actually understand exactly what they were about.

director. Credited for the most intriguing, captivating, and classic films since the 1970s, Spielberg continues creating films to this day, with many recent announcements for upcoming films such as Gremlins 3, West Side Story (remake), and Jurassic World 3.
