Hammer announced an exciting slate of dvd releases starting later this year. The deal is the result of a long negotiation between DD Home Entertainment in the UK and the present owners of the Columbia Pictures catalogue, Sony. Thirteen Hammer titles have been provisionally announced, many of which have never been released on home video formats before, and two of which were widely considered to be "lost" Hammer films.
They stress that the titles are subject to an evaluation of archive materials, which could suggest that more titles may be announced, or that titles may be subsequently put on hold. According to Hammer "There may be other titles to follow."
The Columbia Hammer films are amongst the most highly sought after by fans, and include a number of war pictures, horror and comedy films, and have previously been unreleased on home video formats.
Most have been screened on tv in the last twenty years, but few lately in the UK or USA, resulting in a healthy inferior bootleg trade for several of the titles. We'd encourage fans to hold out for the official releases later this year.
Germany's has just announced Skinny Puppy is going to headline this year's festival on August 11-12.
