Member since: 8/8/2009 | | Firstborn NEEDS A DVD RELEASE! | | This great movie from the mid 1980's has yet to see a release on DVD. It stars Christopher Collett as a teenage boy, who's divorced mother played by Teri Garr begins dating a guy played wonderfully and creepily by Peter Weller, then finds out that he is not what he appears. The film also stars Corey Haim, as the younger brother, as well as, Sarah Jessica Parker and Robert Downey, Jr. as two of friends of Christopher's character, Jake. This movie has only been released on VHS years ago and fans of this movie are pleading for a DVD with bonus features. 2009 marks the 25th Anniversary of this movie. |

What are the chances of looking into acquiring this great sleeper hit and releasing on DVD? This movie has only seen a VHS release and a DVD with bonus features would be excellent! Maybe a reunion with as many stars from the film as possible (Christopher Collett, Teri Garr, Peter Weller, Corey Haim, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Robert Downey Jr.). Please release this one!! |

Member since: 8/8/2009 | | RE: Firstborn NEEDS A DVD RELEASE! | | Does anyone know which company owns the rights to this film and what the hold up is on releasing it? Hopefully, it is a company that if they are unwilling to release it, they will license it to Shout! Factory, who will do this great film justice on DVD (Sarah Jessica Parker and Robert Downey, Jr. have supporting roles). |

Member since: 12/21/2009 | | RE: Firstborn NEEDS A DVD RELEASE! | I agree this film needs a proper release - I know I'D buy it. Peter Weller was a great 'bad guy' in this.
Wait a minute... who am I here? |

Member since: 8/8/2009 | | RE: Firstborn NEEDS A DVD RELEASE! | | I just read online that this film is owned by Paramount. Bummer. The chances of that company licensing out to another company to release this will be slim to none. I suppose the fans of this great movie will simply have to wait to find out if Paramount will release it or not. Of course, the quality of the release will likely be subpar (not remastered and no bonus materials). However, miracles do happen! I am seriously hoping for one on this film getting on a high quality DVD set. |

It is available on LaserDisc but it is in Fullscreen and is almost impossible to find now. |

Member since: 7/9/2008 | | RE: Firstborn NEEDS A DVD RELEASE! | | No, it's NOT. It's out-of-print on VHS! We're talking about FIRSTBORN, starring Chris Collet, Teri Garr and Peter Weller from 1984, written by Ron ("INTO THE NIGHT"/BEAUTY AND THE BEAST TV series) Koslow, directed by Michael Apted ("CONTINENTAL DIVIDE"/7 UP series). |
