Special Edition Hostel DVD On Its Way

This news really comes as no surprise to me. I knew as soon as I saw the special features on Hostel disc coupled with the fact that Sony was releasing the DVD that another one would be out shortly. Well today Eli Roth has just blogged confirming my fears.

"I was putting together a lot elements today for the Hostel special edition DVD. Sony wants to do one and my feeling is I'm all for it, but it has to be great and have so many extras people really feel they got their money's worth and that Sony didn't double dip. It's gonna be awesome. But watching all those deleted scenes made me sad. I missed them. I missed filming with them. With Jay and Derek and Eythor and Barbara. There's a lot of great shit that got cut for time that I still love. I wish I could soot that film again. It was one of those magical experiences where everything came together. Seems so far from me now. And yet I'm still in it in a weird way. Crazy."

Well we all know Sony had this in mind the whole time. Whether Eli Roth knew about it or not is anybodys guess. I just hope that Roth really does this DVD justice and goes balls to the wall with it and throws as much material as he can in it. Hopefully we will get a 2 Disc edition as well with a ticket to see Hostel Part II. That would make it worth a purchase for just about anyone who is a fan.
