I don't think Stone has the kind of pull to get Disney to do anything in 2025.

Eh there's a chance, I mean if Alex Winter could bother them so much as to allow Umbrella Entertainment to release Freaked on 4K, I'm sure a bigger director like Oliver Stone could just as easily ask them for something even if it takes him to literally beg them for it

Didn't the rights to Freaked lapse? Or was that a disproven theory?

You might be right, but I guess the question would be is there someone in the home video department that would be sympathetic enough to him to push for a deal if he asked?

Alex Winter thanked Disney in a bluesky post he made relating to the films 4K, I think they still owned it but either sold the rights to him/umbrella or licensed it out to them
The original bsky post was deleted but it can be assumed disney did something

You know how everyone is doing this running gag on the Scream Factory thread about releasing Firestarter II? I say we do something serious here and campaign Shout!/Warner to release TMNT 2007 on Shout Select Collector's Edition 4K/Blu-ray for December!

Who's in?
