Paramount Home Entertainment Tabs Sept. 7 As The Street Date For Both Blu-ray And DVD Editions Of Scream 2 And Scream 3

Paramount Home Entertainment announced this past week that director Wes Craven’s Scream 2 and Scream 3 will be available as both DVD and Blu-ray product offerings on Sept. 7.

Following the success of filmmaker Wes Craven’s Scream in 1996, Miramax/Dimension Films (the distribution rights to the library was acquired by Paramount last year), he set about working on the sequel and brought back “surviving” cast members, including Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), deputy sheriff Dewey Riley (David Arquette), reporter Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) and the wrongly-convicted Cotton Weary (Liev Schreiber) … plus horror film geek Randy Meeks (Jamie Kennedy).

The film had opened during the Christmas holiday season of 1996, pulled in over $100 million and by June of the following year film was underway … and one year after Scream opened theatrically, the sequel was in theatres and easily matched the box office take of the original.

Well, with two hits in the Scream series in the bank … a film franchise was born and in July of 1999 the next installment began filming, with “survivors” Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Liev Schreiber and David Arquette all back to reprise their roles … although Cotton Weary (Schreiber) doesn’t last long as the murder spree continues.

Scream 3 opened in February of 2000 and did solid numbers, pulling in close to $90 million in box office receipts.

In the end, all three films in this cycle worked, making the Scream trilogy a series that maintained the fun throughout.

Of note, a re-launch of the series is planned for release theatrically next January, under the direction of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (who teamed for Ready or Not), with Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette all returning as cast members. It should be great fun!!

Mill Creek Entertainment Set Aug. 17 As The Street Date For A Blu-ray Edition Of Director Bryan Spicer's For Richer Or Poorer

Mill Creek Entertainment looks to Aug. 17 as the street date for a Blu-ray edition of director Bryan Spicer’s Christmas of 1997 comedy, For Richer or Poorer, starring Tim Allen and Kirstie Alley as the bickering Sextons, New York City real estate developers who have been set-up by their accountant for fraud and are now on the run.

Indeed, if it were not for the handy work of their accountant, Bob (Wayne Knight), who has been gleefully filing false tax returns and pilfering the estate of Brad and Caroline Sexton, they would be heading to the divorce court. The Sextons are miserable and want to call it quits, but when the IRS comes knocking — and looking for five million in unpaid taxes — they suddenly find themselves with other plans.

Through a series of often hilarious events, Brad and Caroline end up hiding out in Amish country, passing themselves off as the distant cousins of Samuel Yoder (Jay O. Sanders) and his wife, Levinia (Megan Cavanagh). Meanwhile, agents from IRS continue their manhunt.

For Richer or Poorer works so well because of the comedic timing of both Allen and Alley, who get to play as wealthy and snooty in an environment where those attributes don’t quite fit in. In a nice twist, their time away from New York City ends paying huge dividends!!

Arrow Video Prepares 4K Ultra HD Edition Of Director Fritz Kiersch's Children Of The Corn For Release On Sept. 28

Arrow Video, with domestic sales and distribution support provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has selected Sept. 28 as the street date for the 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack debut of director Fritz Kiersch’s 1984 film adaptation of Stephen King’s short story, Children of the Corn.

This is a new 2K film restoration from the film’s original negative.

Linda Hamilton made three films in 1984, while Children of the Corn was the first in the cycle, followed by a small part in director Christopher Cain’s The Stone Boy, it was the Halloween-season release of The Terminator that made her a star.

Here she plays Vicky Baxter, who is on the way to Seattle with her boyfriend, Burt Stanton (Peter Horton — Fade to Black), when they mow-down a young boy by the name of Joseph, but on closer inspection — since Burt is a doctor — they discover that the boy’s throat was cut!!

The soon discover that the town of Gatlin, Nebraska (actually filmed in and around Sioux City, Iowa) is devoid of adults, except for the owner of gas station (R.G. Armstrong), who doesn’t last long when he tries to warn the couple of the danger that they face.

They also discover that a 12-year-old kid named Isaac (John Franklin in his film debut, who would later star as “Cousin Itt” in the Addams Family movies) is running things and backed by a supernatural force that is referred to as “He Who Walks Behind the Rows.” Once you turn nineteen you become a sacrifice … and the new people in town, Vicky and Burt certainly fit that bill!!

As nice as it is to see Linda Hamilton in a pre-Terminator role, the real iconic image that emerged from director Fritz Kiersch’s Children of the Corn is that of the ultra-evil Isaac … it didn’t take long for some to notice the similarities between Franklin’s creepy Isaac and environmental cult leader Greta Thunberg, which is pretty funny when all things are considered.

As to bonus goodies, there are two commentary options. The first is newly-prepared and features John Sullivan, host of the childrenofthecornmovie.com website, and film journalist Justin Beahm, while the second is a vintage commentary from filmmaker Fritz Kiersch, producer Terrence Kirby and actors John Franklin and Courtney Gains.

There are also six featurettes — “Harvesting Horror: The Making of Children of the Corn,” “It Was the Eighties!,” “Return to Gatlin,” “Stephen King on a Shoestring,” “Welcome to Gatlin: The Sights and Sounds of Children of the Corn” and “Feeling Blue.”
