The Frighteners DVD

Recieved this news from Any Miller today:

I had a nice little chat with the friendly Pioneer rep, to get an update
on what will ever come of all those great Pioneer Special Edition laserdiscs,
such as Basic Instinct, The Frighteners and Bob Roberts, to name a few. As
is usually the case, it is a licensing situation where the owner of the film
in question needs to work with Pioneer on relicensing the materials and
re-releasing it on DVD. Thankfully, some of these special editions have made
it on DVD, such as Rambling Rose and Universal's recent Liar Liar. However,
according to Pioneer, titles like The Frighteners and Bob Roberts have no real
momentum going behind them, though Artisan is apparently working on possibly
releasing Basic Instinct and The Doors sometime in the future. But when is
anybody's guess...

It seems those of us who actually want that amazing special edition on DVD
are going to have to cause a big storm to get it out.

Any chance of letting the word out, so we can convince those in control that
there is a definite market? Considering the press PJ is getting, and will no
doubt get from LOTR, it'd make great sense to release this fairly soon!

Okay so guys what do you lot think? Should there be a SE of The Frighteners on DVD? If so why not leave a message on the message board. If there is enough support I will start a petition and send it to Pioneer.

LETS GET THE FRIGHTENERS SE ON DVD!
