UPDATE: Amazon is now taking preorders!

The Exorcist‘s sequels and prequels are coming to Blu-ray for the first time this year and Warner Brothers have a sales sheet which reveals the release date: September 29.

Titled The Complete Anthology, the 6-disc collection will include:

• The Exorcist (Original Theatrical Version)
• The Exorcist (Extended Directors Cut)
• Exorcist II: The Heretic
• The Exorcist III: Legion
• Exorcist: The Beginning
• Dominion: Prequel To The Exorcist

Impressively, Exorcist II: The Heretic,  The Exorcist III: Legion and Exorcist: The Beginning will be getting released individually at a price of US$16.99. Paul Schrader’s Dominion: Prequel To The Exorcist, is included on the same disc as Exorcist: The Beginning (thanks Justin)

No special features have been announced and unfortunately none are expected.

We first learned of this Blu-ray collection from William Peter Blatty himself last month.
Pre-orders for The Complete Anthology and individual discs will be made available soon and details will be posted here.

I’m not expecting much. I’m sure they’ll look better than their DVD counterparts but nothing spectacular. However, I’m still looking forward to having E3 and Dominion on Blu!

I’m actually keen to see Heretic on Blu as well. Seems like it’ll be a worthwhile purchase.

blahh, Dominion deserves it’s own individual release, what a damn shame.

hopefully the sequels and prequels will have good transfers, and not a crappy upscaling.
