Forget "The Devils"
Posted by Jeffrey Wells on February 29, 2008 at 10:30 AM
The source of yesterday's rumor about a DVD of Ken Russell's The Devils coming out in May was Warner Home Video's own online/business website, which is called WHV Direct. The information, however, was a "mistake," according to WHV exec publicity director Ronnee Sass. She explained that right now "there are absolutely no plans to put out The Devils in '08," although the title may make an appearance down the road.

Bloody hell. When it's WB's own dealer site that screws this up, it makes us all pound the desk like Frank Reynolds on World News Tonight muttering as to why facts can't get nailed down around here.

Unless the box art is some bogus fanboy work (which it does not appear to be) I seriously doubt Warner - or any other studio for that matter - would have gone to the trouble of creating DVD key art for something not planned for release within the next 9 months. My guess is that it was on the schedule for a May '08 release and has been pushed back to a date TBA.

Didn't the Egyptian (in LA) show this a few months ago?
How was the print?
I wonder because the source material might be questionable.

I have a Brith copy of this extended version loaded with great extras and the print qualuity is excellent, so there is a good transfer somewhere.
