Blu-Ray ‘A Christmas Story’ Due November
‘A Christmas Story’ is coming to Blu-ray — again.
A new perennial classic (the film routinely shows for 24 hours straight every holiday on TBS), ‘A Christmas Story’ was first issued on Blu-ray and HD DVD back in late 2006 as a relatively bare bones edition. Reaction to the release was generally mixed, however, with most fans and critics giving the disc’s video, audio, and supplements average marks.
Hoping the second time’s the charm, Warner has now confirmed that it will bring ‘A Christmas Story’ back to Blu-ray on November 4, in a new ‘Ultimate Collector’s Edition’ featuring all-new deluxe packaging and other surprises.
The full supplements have yet to be revealed, but among the new goodies are a “Holiday Starter Kit” set to include cookie cutters, a holiday cookbook, and a chef’s apron.
Warner hasn’t revealed tech specs, or whether the film’s video and audio have been newly remastered. More details should be coming in soon.
