I just got this message on from a friend:
Bob Murawski of Grindhouse Entertainment just gave Fango the word that the long-anticipated special-edition DVD of Ruggero Deodato’s CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST (pictured) is nearing completion for release in the first half of 2005. And Murawski promises it’ll be worth the wait. “It’s going to be a two-disc super-deluxe set for the movie’s 25th anniversary,” he tells us. “It’s going to have a 16x9-enhanced digital transfer, plus we’ve remixed the movie with all the original stereo music, plus the original mono track will be there for the purists. We’ve got audio commentary by Deodato and the star, Robert Kerman, a lot of interviews with Deodato, Kerman and many of the cast and crew, plus the usual trailers and still galleries and other great stuff, and liner notes by Chas. Balun.
Does anyone know if this is legit? If it is true, I'm gonna be damn happy. I hope my bud is not pulling my leg. I sooo hope this is true!
I don't really care anymore, they've taken way to long getting this movie on DVD. It's taken them longer to get one little B movie out to dvd then it took to get the Star Wars Original Trilogy out on DVD.
I have a bootleg DVD for this movie now, and I'm happy with that. They shoulda quit bullshitting around and released it a few years ago, there is no excuse spending 5 years making a dvd for a movie like this.
I've been trying to get the bootleg (region 1 USA/Canada) myself but is too expensive at $59.99. Is also hard to get the original uncut VHS which I been looking for quite awhile. It is a shame it took this long. Still is worth owning the film whether is bootleg or special edition. Is a must have film for a collection.
