Richard Stanley's Hardware finally on DVD later this year?

Cool, as the current German version is quite good (compared to VHS) and uncut, but unfortunately cropped to 1.33:1

Wait a minute - isn't that the poster art of "Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhatten"?

If it gets a DVD release then the folks at Subversive Cinema should be the ones to bring it out. Their work with DUST DEVIL last year was unbelievable.

Yes I'm hoping them or Dark Sky might be the perfect company to do this.

YESYESEYESYESYESYES...I wnat to drop acid and listen to Minsitry RIGHT NOW!

If we get a special package like the Dust Devil one, that would be sweet. I was very impressed by the quality and value in that one (company?).

I doubt they could include the same amount of extras since DUST DEVIL already had Stanley's documentaries. Of course they could theoretically include all his music videos and short films but I'd think getting the rights to all of those would be even more complicated than wrestling HARDWARE away from Miramax.

True. But I would like to see some behind the scenes stuff, a retrospective featurette maybe with the cast and crew, I know Tim Maurice Jones, Guy Richie's cinematographer worked on it and of course with Dylan McDermott being the star he is, he should attract the female crowd.

I'm just happy that the movie will be available (if all goes well), and it'll be (more or less) what the director originally intended. All I see are people carping about extras. I wanna see the movie, the extras are...extra. It's the movie that matters (especially if it's Stanley's original cut); the extras I can live without.

coyoteblue - Amen Brother!

yeah, and i hope they include the comic from which hardware was ripped off from.....2000ad story?

I already own a shitty DVD of the film as well as Japanese widescreen VHS so if they're going to release it again it might as well be a definitive edition. Though I would buy a bare bones DVD as well if it's indeed Stanley's director's cut.
