In a recent press kit released to media outlets, Warner Bros. has outlined its plans to bring four Anniversary Editions to Blu-ray in the coming fiscal year. Classics getting an Anniversary Edition treatment include: Enter the Dragon, The Exorcist, A Christmas Story and The Right Stuff. Each film will celebrate its next milestone anniversary next year, starting with Enter the Dragon in Q2 2013.
Enter the Dragon: 40th Anniversary Edition, Q2 2013 - The martial arts classic revolves around three main characters. Lee, a man recruited by an agency to investigate a tournament hosted by Han, since they believe he has an Opium trade there. Roper and Williams are former army buddies since Vietnam and they enter the tournament due to different problems that they have. Roper is on the run from the Mafia due to his gambling debts, while Williams is harassed by racist police officers and defends himself from them and uses the car for his getaway. It is a deadly tournament that they will enter on an island. Lee's job is to get the other two out of there alive.
The Exorcist: 40th Anniversary Edition, Q3 2013 - A visiting actress in Washington, D.C., notices dramatic and dangerous changes in the behavior and physical make-up of her 12-year-old daughter. Meanwhile, a young priest at nearby Georgetown University begins to doubt his faith while dealing with his mother's terminal sickness. And, book-ending the story, a frail, elderly priest recognizes the necessity for a show-down with an old demonic enemy.
A Christmas Story: 30th Anniversay Edition, Q4 2013 - Ralphie, a young boy growing up in the '40's, dreams of owning a Red Rider BB gun. He sets out to convince the world this is the perfect gift. But along the way, he runs into opposition from his parents, his teacher, and even good 'ol Santa Claus himself.
The Right Stuff: 30th Anniversary Edition, Q4 2013 - Tom Wolfe's book on the history of the U.S. Space program reads like a novel, and the film has that same fictional quality. It covers the breaking of the sound barrier by Chuck Yeager to the Mercury 7 astronauts, showing that no one had a clue how to run a space program or how to select people to be in it. Thrilling, funny, charming and electrifying all at once.
