Mark Kermode notes in his latest Film 4 column that Ken Russell's THE DEVILS will finally be getting a release from Warners on DVD sometime this year. Warners mentioned it in a chat a while back, but this is the first semi-confirmation I've read that the release is still in the pipeline:
"I leave you with notice that 2006 will also be the year in which Ken Russell's fiery masterpiece The Devils is finally released in its uncut form, a full 35 years after censors and distributors conspired to slash it to ribbons. The forthcoming 'Directors Cut' DVD comes complete with a newly extended version of the Channel 4 documentary 'Hell On Earth' - which is obviously a reason for celebration and delight! Happy New Year."
Kermode's column (see page 3)
If Warners can also fit PERFORMANCE, O LUCKY MAN and a new DELIVERANCE SE in there somewhere, I'll be very grateful.
