With a new adaptation of Roald Dahl’s novel on the horizon, the Warner Archive Collection has announced today that they’re bringing Nicolas Roeg‘s 1990 film The Witches to Blu-ray.
The release, which will be the film’s Blu-ray debut, boasts a brand new HD master!
The 1990 film combined the effects wizardry of executive producer Jim Henson and the imagination of Willy Wonka creator Roald Dahl. Academy Award winner Anjelica Huston won the Los Angeles and National Society of Film Critics Best Actress awards for her marvelous work as the Grand High Witch in the enchanting fable directed by Nicolas Roeg.
Jasen Fisher plays Luke, the 9-year-old boy who must foil the plans of a society of witches to turn the world’s children into mice. It won’t be easy: They’ve already transformed him into one! But some big, bad witches may be no match for the resourcefulness of a single tiny rodent.
No release date has been provided at this time. Stay tuned for more.
