Sony dropped me a line tonight to let me know that the specs and artwork for the release of Hostel have been finalized. Here is all the info and you can see the box art there on the right:
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced an unrated special edition of Hostel which stars Jay Hernandez and Derek Richardson. The disc will be available to own from the 18th April, and should retail at around $28.95 or thereabouts. The film itself will be presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen, along with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 track. As well as including a 94 minute unrated cut of the film (apparently a sicker and more twisted cut!), the disc will include a commentary with director Eli Roth, a second audio commentary with the director and Quentin Tarantino, Boaz Yakin, Scott Spiegel and Eli Roth, a third audio commentary with producer Chris Briggs and documentarian Gabriel Roth, and a fourth commentary with online film pundit Harry Knowles. Completing this new package will be a “Hostel Dissected” making-of featurette, a “Kill the Car” multi-angle interactive feature, another “Hostel Dissected” behind-the-scenes featurette, and a "Kill the Car” multi-angle interactive feature.
The release date is April 18th and will cost you around $28.95.
