Again, just why they're taking so long to release this is anybody's guess. Classic Neil Jordan: checked. Outrageous story: checked. Patrick McCabe classic: checked. Classic performances: checked. Get it out now!

Has there been any word about this? Is Jordan working on a DVD version? I'm curious whether any of his interviews when Pluto came out had any mention of this release.

Well, well, well...just look at what a little googling can do:

Out on the 23rd of this month. Can't find any info on extras yet.

Sweet...but I hope it's not just being released in Germany. (The shipping charges to the US are killer!)

Please let this be a US release!! My favorite Jordan film.

I world premiered this film at our fest in 1998... We did a full retro of Neil's work with him present... In the afternoon before the premiere I sat alone in the theatre previewing the first show print with all the opticals - a great experience, then introduced Neil, Pat et al in the evening and watched again sitting with Anthony Minghella......

Can any of our german members please comment on this release then? Is it worth buying?

This from a member of HTF:

I got my dvd of THE BUTCHER BOY today. it is in english and is 1:78:1 for 16:9 tv's it is a good, but not great print of the blackest of Irish comedies. my personal favorite Neil Jordan film. If you have this on the have to have list. I recommend it highly.

This is the real reason why Butcher Boy still hasn't been released in R1 land:

Saw this disc today--the print looks good, Jordan's commentary is informative, but the only other extras are 3 brief "additional scenes" (including 2 with Stephen Rea), 3 minutes and 20 seconds total.
