Clerks DVD Saga Continues…

  • Seems that Miramax/Disney/Buena Vista are at least SAYING they’re gonna do right with their upcoming Collectors Series of DVDs. According to a DVD File story today, they’re going to indeed, as we’d hoped, release Clerks, and even hint at a Chasing Amy release somewhere down the road!
In good news, Buena Vista subsequently has added Clerks back on the schedule, and Miramax has indicated that the Collector’s Series has not been abandoned, and that they fully intend to support the series with many more releases to come. They gave me a nice rundown on some titles that have been rumored for a while, and a couple of new ones you might be interested in.

However, the question of arrival date for these is an issue, and there are no set dates yet, including Clerks, which will no longer make the original 6/29/99 date. However, I am assured that all these titles are in development, and though it seems unlikely they will all be released in 1999, we should see them on DVD hopefully over the course of the next several months.

Also on the docket are many other oft-rumored titles, including Chasing Amy (which as of now has not been licensed to Criterion).

Again, we like to think the Clerks stuff got re-thought of after our write-in campaign…But of course no one from Disney ever got in touch with us about it, so who knows? The Amy news is definitely new to us. You can read the full piece HERE, which also hints that From Dusk ‘Til Dawn will get the re-release it deserves (the laser has TONS of fantastic stuff that the earlier released DVD lacks). Stay tuned for more.
