IT Blu-ray Announced & Special Features Revealed - But No Mention Of The Extended Director's Cut
While it was reported several weeks ago that director Andy Muschietti was planning on releasing an extended director's cut of his horror hit It, it looks like the initial Blu-ray release will skip
Back in September, director Andy Muschietti and producer Barbara Muschietti both confirmed that an extended director's cut of It was on its way this holiday season, but based on the official Blu-ray announcement from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, it sounds like fans might be waiting a little while longer for that extended cut, that is, if it's even coming at all.
As is, It: Chapter One will arrive on Digital HD on December 19th, before making its way to 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on January 9, 2018. The physical release will contain three extensive behind-the-scenes documentaries that will detail the making of the movie as well as eleven deleted/extended scenes.
With a sequel, It: Chapter Two already set for September 6, 2019, it wouldn't be a stretch to assume a double-dip may be on the way - possibly with that rumored director's cut - sometime in 2018 and/or closer to the sequel's release date.
