Echo Bridge has unveiled its latest slate of bargain-priced Blu-ray releases, with a pair of TV disaster titles due in early Summer.
On tap for June 3, Echo Bridge will release the NBC all-star (well, Steve Guttenberg's in it) television adaptation of 'The Poseidon Adventure,' as well as the Daryl Hannah-Campbell Scott end-of-the-world adventure 'Final Days of Planet Earth.
Like Echo Bridge's previous waves of affordable Blu-ray titles (which the company first began to release this past Spring), each title will carry a suggested retail of only $14.95.
The company has not announced any tech or supplement details for its July line-up, but expect similar specs to past releases, which featured 1080i/MPEG-2 video, Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 Surround tracks, and zero to minimal extras.
You'll find preliminary specs for 'The Poseidon Adventure (2005)' and 'Final Days of Planet Earth' linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule, where they're indexed under June 3.
