No, as far I know from reading this and other articles, the materials aren't good enough for a blu ray release. I'm just happy that it'll see the light of day, regardless of format, I've waited years to see Barker's true version of the film (or as near as possible to his vision anyway)

If Clive Barker gives this forthcoming 'director's cut' of Nightbreed his seal of approval I'll be quite happy.

Well i've posted this on other Nightbreed threads so may as well put it here.

If the extra footage comes from VHS, there will be no Blu-ray of the Cabal cut. Just a dvd release as using the VHS tapes would involve 'baking the tapes' in order to improve the quality. Unfortunately this would still mean material unsuitable for a HD release.

IF as the OP quote from Barker states, the money is there, then they are looking to go through the studio archives in a bid to locate the missing footage which may still exist in some cans somewhere.

If the original materials can be located then expect a blu-ray release with lots of extras.

I saw the Cabal cut a couple of years back at Grimmfest in Manchester and it is a really, really improved cut of the film. We have Decker talking to his mask, not actually wanting to kill people but the mask itself is compelling him (well he is a nutter after all) there's more creature effects, more verything.
