Child's Play SE coming out January/February 2008

According to an interview with producer David Kirschner, MGM and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment will release a 20th Anniversary edition of Child's Play in either January or February of next year. He says that he and Mancini just did a commentary with the stars of the film (including Alex Vincent), but there are no other words on extras.

Of course, it comes on the heels of Kirschner and original writer Dan Mancini tossing around ideas for a remake of Child's Play, so the interview is a double-edged sword of sorts.

Re:

It's about time. I have been waiting for a widescreen re-release of this film. I am assuming it will be WS. Fox taking over distribution of MGM is the best thing to happen in recent years. The Dollars films got re-released, the Midnight Movies line is back, Pumpkinhead is getting re-released next year, and now Child's Play.

Judging by Fox's previous MGM horror releases, Child's Play will definitely be in widescreen. Or it will be a flipper disc with both open-matte and anamorphic widescreen versions.

This is great fucking news. I'd been holding off on buying this title until a widescreen SE was released. Looks like the wait is almost over!

I hope they do, seeing how it's the original poster and shit.
I used that for my custom disc of the MonstersHD version even though I couldn't find a nice huge version. It's about time this movie got a SE. Always bad when 4th and 5th sequels get SE's, and the original gets FS bareness.

When I was at Monstermania this year, they announced that the footage they shot for the Child's Play reunion would be on this DVD. This is the second movie in less than a year with footage from MM, so thats pretty cool too.

This is fucking awesome news. Child's Play was the one series that I haven't bought a single title of on DVD. This will finally make me break down.

I like that original poster a lot -- it reminds me of Rosemary's Baby and makes the film look classier than it really is -- but they probably won't use it; Chucky's face isn't plastered all over it.

On the other hand, that tagline ("Something's moved in with the Barclay family, and so has terror.") is awful.
