The Frighteners: Director's Cut - 11.29.05

Universal Studios has announced The Frighteners: Director's Cut for release on November 29th.

The 123-minute laserdisc extended cut (adding twelve minutes of footage) will come with a new 2.35 anamorphic transfer and a Dolby Digital 5.1 track.

Bonus materials haven't been announced yet, but this has been announced as a single disc release. So there's probably little chance of including the full 4.5 hour documentary. Retail is $26.98

I don't know anything about "The Frighteners" but they could do a DVD-18 (this is Universal, after all) and put the first hour or so on the movie side and put the remainder on side 2. Putting a 2-hour movie and a four and a half-hour doc on a DVD-18 is probably just barely possible.


Don't you ever, EVER compare me to "Family Guy," you hear me Kyle? Compare me to "Family Guy" again and so help me, I will kill you where you stand!

Do you have any idea what it's like? Everywhere I go: "Hey Cartman you must like 'Family Guy,' right?" "Hey, your sense of humor reminds me of 'Family Guy' Cartman!" I AM NOTHING LIKE FAMILY GUY! WHEN I MAKE JOKES THEY ARE INHERENT TO A STORY! DEEP SITUATIONAL AND EMOTIONAL JOKES BASED ON WHAT IS RELEVANT AND HAS A POINT, NOT JUST ONE RANDOM INTERCHANGEABLE JOKE AFTER ANOTHER!

Maybe there will be a single-disc plain edition and a 3-disc Collector's Edition. One can dream.

My guess would be that if they did include the Doc it would be in a heavilly truncated form. a la the "Jaws" 25th Anniversary Disc.

Wow! I had long ago given up on ever seeing this on DVD. Maybe there is hope for the Waterworld Extended Cut after all too.


Have you ever heard of Vietnam, Larry?

OMG I can't believe that i'm actually reading this news. I had kind of given up hope that this would come out on dvd after Return of the King comes out but this makes perfect sense now seeing as how Peter Jackson had originally been working on King Kong following The Frighteners and this directors cut was the result of the studio shelving Kong at the time. Very exciting news and I can't wait.
