Child's Play (1988) (Collector's Edition) - Blu-ray Forum

RobertLuketic · 04-27-2016, 01:43 PM

Just came across this post over at Scream' facebook page...apparently the director himself has confirmed at monsterpalooza that he is doing a new commentary for Scream' release.

Would be great if we got that Original poster art for the slipcover or at least a reversible cover.

Such a great teaser tagline also... you have no idea it is about a killer doll.

Zillamon51 · 04-27-2016, 02:08 PM

Another re-release of a title that has been available for years, already has good PQ / AQ and a bunch of extras, and is cheap. So Scream can add a few new things, commission new artwork, slap a slipcover on it, and sell it for a premium. Nice.

My Chucky: The Complete Collection set is complete enough. Pass. (If Scream did a double feature of CP 2 & 3 with extras, or a new box set with upgraded versions of all the movies, I'd consider it.)

Beast · 04-27-2016, 02:09 PM

Sweet. While I love my boxset of the films... a fullblown special edition of the original will be awesome.

And I expect an amazing release from Shout Factory. Would love them to do the same for Pt. 2 and Pt. 3.

Nailwraps · 04-27-2016, 02:13 PM

Holy..s#*t!!! Oh, now they GOT to do special editions of 2 and 3!

EDIT: Welp, notified Don. Let's see what happens.

EDIT 2: I'm surprised MGM would allow the OK for this, this film is one of their big titles.

casey76 · 04-27-2016, 02:23 PM

No thanks, already have the complete set. I'm not really interested in extras either, so there's nothing to make me want to get this.

Member-167298 · 04-27-2016, 02:26 PM

While I would love to hear from Holland since I think he was largely absent from the currently available bonus features, I would much prefer a special edition release of Child's Play 2.

Sky_Captain · 04-27-2016, 02:28 PM

A non-DNR'd release of Bride, possibly double billed with the unrated version of Seed. I'd throw some fat cash at that.

Markgway · 04-27-2016, 02:33 PM

Have to say I agree with Z51... this doesn't need a re-release. Especially since the final package will be VERY similar no doubt to what MGM put out.

Nailwraps · 04-27-2016, 02:35 PM

I don't know. A new (4K) transfer and deleted scenes alone would be worth the purchase.

slimdude · 04-27-2016, 02:39 PM

I already have The Chucky Collection Boxset, and I don't need another individual Child's Play blu-ray release from Shout Factory. That would be a waste of money because, basically it's the same movie.

BarnDoor · 04-27-2016, 02:48 PM

I'm guessing Scream will do separate Collector's Editions of at least I-III, rather than a box set. I know they discussed the prospect a while ago, but that was before the current one.

LawnFurniture · 04-27-2016, 02:52 PM

I'll pick it up only if they go all out and give us something similar to what they did with Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and Return of the Living Dead. If not, I'm perfectly fine with my boxset. I don't imagine the sequels getting 2k scans because all Screams Universal titles pretty much look all the same.

Worship.my.wreck · 04-27-2016, 02:54 PM

I don't have the box set yet but I think I might get both the box set and the scream release as well just cause I love Chucky. All I have currently is the crappy dvd set that has 1-5.

mzupeman · 04-27-2016, 02:58 PM

Child's Play already looks great on Blu so I doubt they'd tempt me with this. Nice that they're doing it anyway though. Some people have surely sat on the fence with these Child's Play films for some time.

lilboyblu · 04-27-2016, 03:16 PM

Been holding out for individual releases of 2 & 3 here too. If this announcement means we'll also be getting those outside of the Chucky Collection, I'll bite on all 3. If not, my $5.48 MGM disc will suffice and I'll continue to wait on the first two sequels in Region A. I have no desire to own Bride, Seed, or Curse.

xxBachelor1981xx · 04-27-2016, 03:19 PM

I hope we get a new transfer something like what they did for TCM2 which was one of SF best releases.

Which speaking of; also doc what they did for TCM 2, include a new transfer and the original MGM HD transfer.

TheMikeSchwartz · 04-27-2016, 05:28 PM

I never complain about re-releases, but this one has got to be the most unnecessary. The box set is perfectly fine for me.

Nailwraps · 04-27-2016, 05:33 PM

Weird. The post is gone now.
