QUOTE(sammy01 @ Feb 16 2022, 01:56 PM)  When the 25th anniversary of this rolls around what do you want? A limited cinema rerelease, blu-ray/dvd 25th anniversary release, added to streaming services? For me physical media is dead so I'd do a limited cinema run on its release date 26th Dec for a few weeks then add to streaming services on the anniversary of the video release. I'd upload the Mama performance to Youtube too. Oh I would like it to be re-released into cinemas for like two weeks and then added to streaming. Eventually, I would like to have a new DVD/Blue Ray but lets see... They just have to re-release it though, in whatever format. It's wild that such an iconic movie isnt widely available. |

Tbf I think it was deliberate to not renew any liecences the last couple of years so a 25th anniversary release would be more impactful. They stopped making the budget dvd that was like £5.99 on Amazon for years and never renewed it on Netflix. At least now it will be a bit of a bigger thing as unless you have an old copy of the dvd it is hard to watch.

I really want a DVD/Blu-ray re-release, but also make it available on streaming too.

We know that their plans for celebrating the Spiceworld anniversary will involve the movie, so I thought it'd be a good idea to bump this thread so we can keep discussion about that in this thread instead.
Do you have any hopes or expectations for what they should do to celebrate Spice World? I said it above but re-releasing it on DVD and Blu-Ray would be ideal. Even on 4K if they're able to release it in that quality. New artwork. Maybe they could have some steelbooks. Imagine if they did the "individual girl artwork" gimmick, as a throwback to the VHS tins?  I hope that they could share some cut scenes, any more footage they have from Royal Albert Hall. Having it back in the cinemas for a time would be great. It also needs to be put on streaming again. |

Since they skipped the individual vinyls this time, I’ll them to do five individual covers for Blu-ray Discs then.

I can't believe we still have not heard anything about the plans for the 25th anniversary! At this point, I doubt there are any plans to start with, but it could have been so easy for them; a short theatre run, new DVD and potentially sell it to a streaming service.

SW25 has only just been released. You don't need 6 weeks in advance announcement to put it on streaming and a DVD wont need huge long pre-orders, especially if they go with the DVD release on the 25th anniversary of the VHS.

25 years later and it's not widely available to stream, and never released on Blu-ray...

A re-release would've been nice for the anniversary. It's incredibly hard to find on DVD, even more reason for it to go on a streaming service
I had it on VHS as a kid and vaguely remember having it in some kind of collector's tin. Wish I still had it

Honestly I'm done with them (Universal more). Universal got the rights to the movie from Paramount ages ago, before all the 25th anniversary stuff was happening. They have had so much time to sort a physical release and a streaming service deal. Both of which Paramount had, it used to be in print on a budget dvd and have a deal to be on Netflix.
It seems all Universal want is to be able to use clips of it on social media. We were actually much better off with it with Paramount. At this point it feels like self sabotage everything Universal do. This post has been edited by sammy01: 27th December 2022, 11:23 AM |

Universal really fumbles de bag with them, at every stage... jesus wept...
Throwing it up on a streaming service would be great but also, so many people used to watch the film on Christmas day, they could totally get a deal to show it on TV channels and then for it to go on streaming in 2023... Whatever, I guess... They don't seem bothered at all |

I think the "problem" is that the movie is seen as a novelty item and not really a classic in its own right + the girls are not so keen on reminiscing it themselves. I would lie if I said it's a GOOD movie
But it is interesting time-capsule and nostalgia.I was lucky to see the movie at a special screening in my home town but it took a Spice Girl fan and lots of help from Universal to arrange it as there are not many copies available. |

The movie has a pop-cult status to it which they could easily capitalise on. Clearly, something went wrong as even Mel C mentioned they were in discussions with the studio early this year to release it...
SO maybe this time it is on Universal, not them?... |
