Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995) (Unrated Producer's Cut) - Blu-ray Forum

WesReviews · 07-07-2015, 07:32 PM

Someone posted this screen grab in a Blu-ray Facebook group earlier today...

I don't have access to Lionsgate Link. What are we looking at here? Is this legit?

MTRodaba2468 · 07-07-2015, 07:36 PM

If I had to guess, I'd think Lionsgate (which has the full Miramax library now that Echo Bridge is done with their titles) is releasing the Producer's Cut of the film, however it won't have the extras from SF's box set...

Vlad Draculi · 07-07-2015, 07:37 PM

No one should be surprised by this.

morningtoke · 07-07-2015, 07:37 PM

No way. This was one of the only reasons I double dipped and got the deluxe set. I already have the H1 digibook, as well as the Scream release of H3 with the slipcover. I won't be getting this, but god damn it was about time!

True the only thing surprising is the $9.99 SRP

Looks legit and is probably the reason why Scream couldn't release the Producer's cut separately and why the box set would only be available for a limited time.

Good if true. Already have the Halloween Digi, the Universal Halloween II, and the Scream Halloween III. This film was the only thing I was interested in getting out of the set since apparently H20 doesn't look very good (don't care about 4,5,8, and the Zombies).

jsobko · 07-07-2015, 07:41 PM

Producers Cut? Surely that would be the theatrical cut.

Seeing that it's a Lionsgate catalog title (not to mention that at this time I'm not expecting to pay Shout Factory for licensing any extras from the box set), the MSRP really doesn't surprise me, to be honest.

It's not. The Producer's Cut was the alternate version of the film that was included in SF's Deluxe Box Set of the series.

No...the theatrical cut is technically the director's cut because Joe Chappelle wanted the drastic reshoots after the failed screen test of the Producer's Cut, which included less Donald P. screen time,

, and entirely different 3rd act.

For anyone who resisted the Deluxe set if this was all they wanted, it looks like patience will be rewarded.

Glad they are finally releasing this as a standalone for those who didn't want the full set. I didn't think it would happen, but I've been wrong before. I'm still extremely happy with the collection, which is one of the great box sets ever produced. The extras are amazing...and I love the packaging!

therock666 · 07-07-2015, 08:01 PM

no release date???

WesReviews · 07-07-2015, 08:07 PM

That's all the info the pic contained. The original poster didn't elaborate either. I would assume Fall.

BladeRunner2007 · 07-07-2015, 09:27 PM

If true I'll buy it day 1

Nailwraps · 07-07-2015, 10:21 PM

Holy hell!!!

Lionsgate, I underestimated you. I already have the Blu-ray, via the complete collection, but if a DVD version is also released, I'll gladly buy it (don't care if has no extras).

slasherdisc · 07-07-2015, 10:31 PM

That's awesome news! I already own the Deluxe 15 disc set that includes the Producer's Cut already but to those who only wanted the set for this only can finally rejoice.

dsman71 · 07-07-2015, 10:32 PM

Now we see why Shout wasnt able to do a solo release. Im guessing the film has multiple rights owners.. Shout certainly didnt get their Producers Cut from Lionsgate

Michael24 · 07-07-2015, 10:32 PM

I bet some people who bought the collection just for the Producer's Cut will be pissed now. Haha! Still, cool that's it apparently getting its own release. I already have the box set, but I know some people personally who will be happy to hear this news.
