Two of Disney’s biggest cult classic 90′s films are finally heading to blu-ray! This year has seen Disney really reaching back into their vault and releasing quite a few of their catalog titles, much to the surprise and happiness of many movie fans. I think it’s also safe to say that these two new titles are surely to make some very happy. First up, we have Tim Burton’s Academy Award winning film ‘Ed Wood’, a biopic about the infamous director who made terrible films, including ‘Plan 9 From Outer Space’. The film stars Johnny Depp, Bill Murray, Martin Landau, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Patricia Arquette. It’s one of my all time favorite Burton films, because it was one of his biggest works of love. While some liberties about Wood’s life were taken, it never distracts from the overall film. It’s also shot in black and white, making it that much more vintage and wonderful to watch. This is one I’ve been really looking forward to landing on blu-ray, so I’m definitely excited to see it finally happening. Hit the jump for info on ‘Judge Dredd’, and trailers for both films.

Hocus Pocus Casts a Spell for the First Time Ever on Blu ray September 4, 2012

Can you feel it?  Autumn is just around the corner!  I don’t know about you but for me, the start of autumn conjures up images of round red apples, streets littered with fall leaves, jack-o-lanterns galore, and of course Halloween!  What better way to get into the autumn mood than to “fall” in love with a beloved Halloween favorite?  This movie is sure to put a spell on you.  Keep your caldron bubbling for its release on September 4th.  It will be a magically good time!

Conjure up a caldron of laughs with Hocus Pocus, a fiendishly fun movie now on Blu-ray for the first time, featuring new digital restoration with enhanced picture and sound. Academy Award® nominee Bette Midler (Best Actress, 1991, For The Boys), Sarah Jessica Parker (Sex In The City) and Kathy Najimy (The Wedding Planner) star in a wild and wacky comedy for the entire family.
When three 17th century Salem witches are accidentally summoned by modern-day pranksters, the 300-year-old trio sets out to cast a spell on the town and reclaim their youth, but first they must outwit three kids and a talking cat. Get ready for a night of zany fun in this bewitching comedy classic – now even better on Blu-ray!

Fans of the 90′s flick Hocus Pocus with Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy can now rejoice. According to Moivehole Disney has began work on a sequel to this 90′s hit.

“Hocus Pocus 2 : Rise of the Elderwitch” (working title) is only in the development stages at the moment but the plan is to have the film in front of audiences sometime next year. I would image around Halloween.

No word if any of the previous cast is scheduled to sign on considering the popularity of many of the members like Sarah Jessica Parker.

Keep an eye on Chip and Co as we get more details we will share them.

What do you think? Were you a fan of the original film? I remember working at the theaters when it came out and it was mildly popular.

Boo!
