Misery Collector's Edition Blu-ray Dated, 4K Remaster Confirmed Posted July 27, 2017 02:17 PM by



U.S. label Scream Factory has dated its upcoming Collector's Edition of director Rob Reiner's film Misery (1990), starring James Caan, Kathy Bates, Richard Farnsworth, Frances Sternhagen, and Lauren Bacall. The release will be available for purchase on November 28.



Supplemental features to be included on this upcoming release have not yet been finalized and will be revealed at a later time. However, the label has confirmed that it is preparing a NEW 4K film transfer, and has already completed a NEW interview with Director Rob Reiner.



Also included with this announcement is the newly commissioned official artwork for the upcoming release from artist Joel Robinson. (The reverse side will have the original poster art).



Synopsis: A "heart-stopping psychological thriller" (Joel Siegel), this Academy Award-winning film is "one of the best horror movies" (Time) ever. Adapted from a Stephen King novel by Oscar-winning screenwriter William Goldman (All The President's Men) and directed by Rob Reiner (A Few Good Men), this chiller starring Kathy Bates (Titanic) and James Caan (The Godfather) is "a Hitchcockian kind of cat-and-mouse" (The New York Times) game played between two cunning minds - one as sharp as a tack and the other as blunt as a sledgehammer.



Novelist Paul Sheldon (Cann) doesn't remember the blinding blizzard that sent his car spinning off the road. Nor does he remember being nursed back from unconsciousness. All he remembers is waking up in the home of Annie Wilkes (Bates) - a maniacal fan who is bent on keeping her favorite writer as her personal prisoner...for the rest of his 'cock-a-doodie' life!

Top contributor mrjohnnyb Jul 27, 2017 I love the skull designed into the wallpaper. Scream has great cover art.

sleeperbloke Jul 27, 2017 Not usually a fan of Scream covers but this one is really nice.

stairfox Jul 27, 2017 Cool!! Misery is one of the best horror films ever made, and a realistic depiction of stalkers. CinephileKing Jul 27, 2017 Rob Reiner's "Misery" is surely a classic horror film without question. It will be interesting to see Shout's 4K remaster of the film as MGM's release of the film was pretty solid overall. So, I look forward to seeing if there is any real upgrade in the film's new remaster when released on Blu-Ray. I will say, I like the cover art much more than MGM's cover art for this film but it's really cool that Shout is also supplying reversible cover art using the original poster art.

Top contributor Jammingene Jul 27, 2017 Where's Dolores Claiborne? How come that one has never come out on blu-ray? BluConniseur Jul 27, 2017 Scream's release will blow the MGM one of the water.

Ben-hur Jul 27, 2017 God I hope we get those legacy features from the old releases

gkolb Jul 27, 2017 Out of all the recently announced titles, this one has me wanting it.

Ready to double dip for a great new transfer. And love the cover art!

bigkt123 Jul 27, 2017 Great cover art filmczy Jul 27, 2017 This has to be one step closer to a 4K Silence of the Lambs release...

vanscottie Jul 27, 2017 WOW a new interview with Rob Reiner! I wonder if he'll say something political???

FarewelltotheFlesh Jul 27, 2017 Very pleased with this news! Day 1, no hesitation!

DoggerDog Jul 28, 2017 Cover art is too over the top for me, but nearly all their covers are like that, so it's expected. I feel so dumb since after many years I finally upgraded to Blu only a few months ago. I wish I had waited for this!



One of my favorites from the 1990s, and from Rob Reiner (along with A Few Good Men).

Top contributor Cutter_ Jul 28, 2017 Even though I am pleased to see this, and will probably upgrade my current blu-ray. But, come on Shout, as there are a ton of Stephen King movies that haven't been put on Blu-ray yet. You guys should be putting out some of those. Only half of King's movies at best are on blu-ray. Get "Storm of the Century", please!

DarylDude Jul 28, 2017 Where or where is 'Maximum Overdrive'?...

nikon76 Jul 31, 2017 Maximum Overdrive, absol-friggin'-lutely! Collector's edition. I'll be grabbing Misery. Too good a picture not to.

Pondosinatra Jul 31, 2017 Where's Dolores Claiborne? More JJL on Blu!!! gardoo03 Aug 05, 2017 I'm not impressed with these press-releases for New 4K Transfers as they almost never get Ultra HD releases anyway.
