Seven Collector's Editions? That's too optimistic...Plus if they announce Slither it will probably be a CE too

[LordCrumb]

I'm hoping for any titles not currently already available.. in NA or UK.

Too soon for The Burbs. Maybe next year.

And I really hope more than 2 out of 10 of these announcements have never received a US Blu release before.

[JackForrester]

- Child's Play 2 (CE)
- Child's Play 3 (CE)
- Hannibal (CE)
- Misery (CE)
- Species (CE)
- Tremors (CE)
- Dead Ringers
- An American Werewolf in London (CE)

CEs for Poltergeist II and III would send me to the moon, but something tells me they don't have it, I don't know why.

Also, I know it doesn't fit the Scream line, but they should definitely try to get True Romance from Morgan Creek for a Shout CE. It's such a cult film with amazing actors and many iconic scenes, and according to this site the existing release has a very mediocre PQ. This film deserves a 4K scan.
Pacific Heights would also be great, but I don't think there's enough interest in that one.

The Night Flier isnt with Warner and the Resurrected is with MGM awaiting music clearance..
Dont worry , LG and WB arent doing any deals with Scream or anyone else. That hasnt changed.

My pics
Dead Ringers
Poltergeist 2
Poltergeist 3
The Night Flier
Species
The Fly II
Andy Warhols Frankenstein
Andy Warhols Dracula
American Werewolf of London
The Angry Red Planet / Time Travelers double feature

Okay I admit this is kind of a wishlist + guesswork. Scream likes to surprise people so why not

[Post Prod]

Lust in the Dust
Flesh Gordon 2
Munchies
Meet The Feebles
Nightlife
Friday the 13th 3D

Not if they announce titles for the next year like they did last year. There's no guarantee that what they announce will be coming anytime soon. Just like last year's Return of the Living Dead I foresee the comic con announcements to cover a full years worth of titles.

[rocknblues81]

I'd like to see Scream take on this one:

Resurrection Trailer - YouTube

It's called Resurrection (1999) and it starts Christopher Lambert. It's a Seven/Copycat type of thriller. Not the best trailer, but I liked this one the one time I saw it.

[Ruemorgue10]

I have a feeling we'll be seeing some re-releases with new scans with a few never before released titles. My guesses:

Dead Ringers
The Fly
The Fly II
The Fury (I think the 3-year license with Twilight Time is over)
An American Werewolf in London
Child's Play 2
Child's Play 3
Poltergeist II
Poltergeist III
Species

[Prang]

Return of the Living Dead II (1988)
Return of the Living Dead III (1993)
Rawhead Rex (1986)
Silent Rage (1982)
Warlock (1989)
C.H.U.D (1984)
Spookies (1986)
Demon Wind (1990)
Critters (1986)
Pin (1988)
The Dead Pit (1989)
Clownhouse (1989)

The only one of those I could see it being is Universal, given the scope for the likes of Child's Play II and III and maybe other titles - unless they have them already of course. Of the known quantities, a new deal with Fox might be interesting, providing they can get titles like Warning Sign and The Fly II.

On that podcast they said they had 8-9 CE's coming in September-December. That shouldn't have included Raising Cain, since it was still scheduled for August at that point, and they talk about it as such in the podcast. Only 4 have been announced, which means 4-5 should be among the announcements. I'm not overly enthused by that, given I expect most to be re-releases of MGM and Universal titles previously released on Blu. In light of this and a hinted new deal I'll be bold (if there are indeed 10 announcements - Dead Ringers is clearly a given btw):

Child's Play II (CE)
Child's Play III (CE)
Dead Ringers (CE)
Species (CE)
Misery (CE)
The Fly II
Warning Sign
Tales from the Hood
Stay Tuned
Virus

i remember the director of tales from the hood saying on killer pov that they would need to locate a master of the movie to try and do a blu ray and that they had been unsuccessful in trying to locate it. this was about four months ago.

The majority of these are with Lionsgate or Warner. Spookies is with Sony and Clownhouse has -1% chance.. Demon Wind is with the producer. CHUD is with Image. SIlent Rage is with Sony
None of these are likely

Great news on both of those! Thanks for the info!

I did read that, but haven't people said a HD version shown on Showtime looked pretty good? Might be that Scream could get access to that. I have a feeling they'll pull something out of the hat with this title.

Considering how much criticism Scream received for releasing Jeepers Creepers, Clownhouse will never be released under them.

[Justtoview]

Maybe if SHOUT Factory has Morgan Creek titles, they could finally do a blu-ray release of Young Guns II. Also, perhaps they could attempt 'Space Camp' as well, although I'm not sure who owns that one.

[redrunner97]

I see someone raised Rawhead Rex. I'd love it, but I think it's with Lionsgate; or some other unknown or otherwise unattainable rightsholder.

Or anyone else. I can't imagine any label would be caught dead touching "that movie where the kids got molested between takes".

[s7e]

I paid $327.69 for 9 scream factory blurays. I'm an idiot
