"Child's Play" 20th Ann. Edition - Is This True???

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
From Wikipedia, I found the following:

A 20th Anniversary DVD is scheduled for release by Fox on September 9; special features will include "Audio Commentary with TBD," a "Selected Scene Chucky Commentary," "Evil Comes in Small Packages" featurettes," a "Vintage Featurette: Introducing Chucky: The Making of Child's Play," an "It's Hard Being Evil" feature, "Theatrical Trailer" and a "Photo Gallery."

Further specs from a poster at horrordvds.com state the following:

Street Date: 9-9-08
Run Time: 97 Minutes
Audio: English: Dolby Surround 5.1 / English & Spanish: Dolby Surround / French: Stereo
Aspect Ratio: Widescreen: 1.85:1


Now I need to know...........is this for real??? As long as I've been collecting DVDs, I've hoped and prayed for a widescreen version of the original "Child's Play". I swore I'd never own the full screen version, and I never have. If this is indeed true, it's bar none the best news I've heard in a very, very long time!!

The aforementioned poster states that Fox/MGM made this announcement on June 11th, but this is the first I've heard of it. Any confirmation would be GREATLY appreciated.

Consider it confirmed. From yesterdays's thedigitalbits.com:

Quote:
Retail sources are indicating that Fox has also revealed a Child's Play: Anniversary Edition for DVD only release on 9/9 (SRP $14.98). Extras will include audio commentary, a select scene commentary with Chucky, the multi-part Evil Comes in Small Packages documentary, 2 featurettes (Introducing Chucky: The Making of Child's Play and It's Hard Being Evil), a photo gallery and the film's theatrical trailer.

Christian my friend, you just made my day! Thanks for the confirmation. Now I can officially get excited. lol I'm going to head out today and pick up "The Chucky Collection" which consists of the 4 sequels. I never bothered to get it before because it would've always seemed incomplete without the original film. I am seriously ecstatic about this!

Awesome. I hate to admit this but when I fist saw this aged 12 it scared the hell out of me. The doll just looks so malevolent...how could it ever have been a toy? LOL
