    'Shawshank' comes back
    Darabont's King pic celebrates 10th anniversary

    By SCOTT HETTRICK

    "The Shawshank Redemption" will get a limited theatrical rerelease in eight cities for two weeks this fall in celebration of the film's 10th anniversary and to promote Warner Home Video's two-disc special DVD edition debuting on October 5.

    The two-week theatrical run of "Shawshank" will begin Sept. 24 in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia, Seattle and Austin.

    Darabont said the DVD will include a new audio and video transfer of the film and two documentaries running a collective 90 minutes.

    A limited edition box set ($44.99) will also include film historian Mark Kermode's book about the movie's production and popularity and the soundtrack CD of Thomas Newman's score.

    First off, I can't believe it's been ten years since this movie came out. Of course, since like most fans of the flick, I didn't see it until years later on cable television, it hasn't been ten years since I first saw the movie.

    I do think it's cool they're doing a new DVD with some extras. Though since I already have the DVD, I'm not going to be able to buy the new one (I will not support double dipping).

    I bought the regular one also :( I'd still wouldn't spend $45 on it

    Well, for $45, you get a book and the soundtrack CD along with the 2 DVD set.

    And that's the list price, so I'm sure it will have a cheaper street price.

    I never got what was so good about that film. I saw it when it came out and haven't seen it since. Perhaps I'll see it in a theatre during this rerelease and will finally "get it"... but I'll probably just be disappointed again.

    But hey, some people don't "get" Blade Runner.

    Shawshank is just a melodramatic Escape From Alcatraz clone. I liked it, though.

    There are few movies that I enjoy as much as Shawshank. When I was a kid in the 80s and I read Different Seasons by King, I was amazed by the story. The movie version was better than I expected.

    While I would not buy this movie for $44, I think it is waaaaaay more than an Escape From Alcatraz clone.
