SPECIAL FILM SCREENINGS PRESENTED BY SHOUT! FACTORY AT COMIC-CON
LUC BESSON’S THE EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF ADELE BLANC-SEC
(Friday, July 19 at 7 PM, Marriott Marquis Marina)
Journey into an awe-inspiring world of
action fantasy and visual wonder with popular French comics heroine
Adèle Blanc-Sec as she leaps from the pages to the screen! Directed and
produced by world-renowned filmmaker Luc Besson
(The Fifth Element) and adapted from Eisner Award winner Jacques Tardi’s celebrated French classic comic book series,
THE EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF ADELE BLANC-SEC features a stellar cast of Louise Bourgoin (Anne Fontaine’s
The Girl From Monaco), Mathieu Amalric (Quantum Of Solace), Gilles Lellouche (Love Me If You Dare), Jean-Paul Rouve (La Vie En Rose), and Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre (The Diving Bell And The Butterfly).
The year is 1912. This is the story of a
intrepid young reporter Adèle Blanc-Sec and her quest for the power of
life over death. Her journey takes her to distant lands to face many
dangers beneath the sands. She will go to any
length to achieve her aims, including sailing to Egypt to tackle
mummies of all shapes and sizes. Meanwhile in Paris, a 136
million-year-old pterodactyl egg on display in the natural history
museum has mysteriously hatched, and the creature subjects the city
to a reign of terror from the skies. But nothing fazes Adele Blanc-Sec
whose adventures include many more extraordinary surprises…
THE EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF ADÈLE BLANC-SEC arrives August 13, 2013 on DVD and on two-disc BLU-RAY™ COMBO PACK from Shout! Factory, in collaboration with EuropaCorp.

COCKNEYS VS. ZOMBIES
(Saturday, July 20 at 8 PM, Marriott Marquis Marina)

Severance), COCKNEYS VS. ZOMBIES boasts an impressive British cast of Harry Treadaway (The Lone Ranger), Michelle Ryan (Bionic Woman), Alan Ford (Snatch,

Doctor Who), Georgia King (The New Normal), Rasmus Hardiker (Your Highness,

The Bow Bells Care Home is under threat
and the McGuire's – Andy, Terry, and Katy – need to find some way to
keep their grandfather and his friends in the East End, where they
belong. But, when you're robbing a bank, zombie invasions
make things a lot harder. And let's face it, they need all the help
they can get when their bank-robbing experts turn out to be Mental
Mickey and Davey Tuppance. As contractors to an East London building
site unlock a 350-year old vault full of seriously hungry
zombies, the East End has suddenly gone to hell and the Cockney way of
life is under threat. Equipped with all the guns and ammo they can
carry, it's up to the gang to save the hostages, their grandfather, and
East London from zombie Armageddon.
COCKEYS VS. ZOMBIES will be released simultaneously in theaters and day-and-date on VOD Friday, August 2, 2013.

MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000: THE MOVIE
(Thursday, July 18 at 6:15 PM at Marriott Marquis Marina)
After six seasons of sublime, nerdy fun on television, the cult comedy series
Mystery Science Theater 3000 took to the big screen in 1996 for its deliriously funny takedown of the 1955 alien invasion epic
This Island Earth.
Evil scientist Dr. Clayton Forrester
explains the premise at the start: in his quest for world domination, he
devises a scheme to subject the human race to the worst movies ever
made. He tests his plan on Mike Nelson, the sole
human aboard an Earth-orbiting space station known as the Satellite of
Love. But our hero and his two robot sidekicks turn a lemon into a much
funnier lemon by showering
This Island Earth with wisecracks, ridicule and general
silliness. The human race may never be rid of cheesy movies, but when
the critics are this nutty, who cares?
Starring Michael J. Nelson, Trace
Beaulieu, Kevin Murphy, Jim Mallon; Based on the television series by
Joel Hodgson; Produced and directed by Jim Mallon. Shout! Factory will
release MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000: THE MOVIE Collector’s
Edition Blu-ray+DVD combo pack on September 3, 2013.
A BOY AND HIS DOG
(Thursday, July 18 at 11 PM at Marriott Marquis Marina)
Directed by L.Q. Jones and based on the award-winning novella by acclaimed science-fiction author Harlan Ellison,
A Boy And His Dog is a dark and often wickedly funny trip through
a post-apocalyptic world, where the friendship between a boy and his
dog is the only currency that matters
World War IV lasted only five days but
has ravaged Earth, leaving its survivors to battle for food, shelter and
companionship in a post-atomic wasteland. This celebrated sci-fi tale
follows the exploits of Vic (Don Johnson) and
his sardonic telepathic dog, Blood, as they struggle through the barren
wilderness in search of food and women. In the midst of their meager
existence, Vic and Blood encounter Quilla June (Susanne Benton), a
dubious young woman who lures them into a surreal
city deep beneath the Earth’s surface. Initially elated to find a
colony of survivors, Vic and Blood quickly learn this city is not what
it seems.
Winner of the 1976 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation,
A Boy And His Dog stars Don Johnson, Susan Benton and Alvy Moore; produced by Alvy Moore; Written for the screen and directed by L.Q. Jones.
On August, 6th, 2013 Shout! Factory will debut this off-beat cult film classic for the first time on Blu-ray.
CAPTAIN AMERICA 1990 Action Super Hero Movie Classic
(Thursday, July 18 at 9PM at the Convention Center screening room)
A film by Albert Pyun and starring Matt Salinger, Ronny Cox, Ned Beatty, Darren McGavin, Michael Nouri and Scott Paulin
Long ago, Steve Rogers (Matt Salinger)
was a true American hero, a brave super soldier created by scientists to
help the Allied Forces fight for freedom in World War II. But during a
battle with the sinister Red Skull (Scott Paulin),
he was lost, entombed in ice. Decades later, his body has been found
and revived and Steve must again don the mantle of Captain America to
help save the President of the United States (Ronny Cox) — and the world
— from his arch-nemesis once and for all.
CAPTAIN AMERICA Collector’s Edition Blu-ray™ is available now from Shout! Factory.

unfortunately for him that is the same way to send him back! Known for
its witty dialogue, tongue-in-cheek humor and satire-filled
plots, this quirky series was based on the highly popular 1988 Tim
Burton film of the same name.

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls
My Little Pony Equestria Girls, the full-length feature introducing an exciting dimension to
the incredibly popular My Little Pony brand, is coming to Blu-ray (Blu-ray, DVD + digital copy) combo and on DVD in the US and Canada on August 6th from Shout! Factory Kids, in collaboration with Hasbro Studios.
When Twilight Sparkle’s crown is stolen
from the Crystal Empire, she pursues the thief, Sunset Shimmer, into an
alternate world where she finds herself turned into…a teenage girl! To
regain her crown and return to Equestria, Twilight
must learn how to fit into this strange, new world and defeat Sunset
Shimmer in a competition to become crowned Princess of the Fall Formal
at Canterlot High. Luckily, she will have the assistance of Spike and
five teenage girls who remind her of a certain
group of ponies back home.
MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000: Volume XXVII
This summer, throw a mad monster party with the motley crew of the Satellite of Love as they celebrate the release of
MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000: XXVII! Available July 23rd
from Shout! Factory, this 4-DVD box set is a schlock-tastic monster
movie mash featuring four episodes never-before-available on DVD:
The Slime People, Rocket Attack USA, Village Of the Giants and The Deadly Mantis.
There may be no finer—and certainly no funnier--meditation on
monsters than this collection of episodes from the cult comedy series.
As food for thought, we are served subterranean slime people, giant
praying mantises, Soviet spies and--perhaps the most
terrifying of all--enormous teenagers from the disturbing menu of
America’s twisted psyche. Battling these Goliaths for us with their
slingshots of sass and silliness are Joel, Mike and their robot
henchmen, Tom Servo and Crow. The monsters are gruesome and
the movies even more so, but the riffs are risible and retaliatory,
proving definitively that revenge is actually a dish best served
funny.
Power Rangers: Seasons Four – Seven

one limited-edition collection! Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa have been
defeated once again, but the Command Center is in ruins, and King Mondo

team, fans and much, much more!
