When is THE INDEPENDENT coming out on DVD?


This film is great, really very funny; clearly not seen by enough people. When is is getting a DVD or Video release, in America or England? Will it ever be available? It has to be!

reply

It'll premiere on Comedy Central on May 5th.

I don't know if you can buy it in stores or not but i got my copy from play.com, (the uk sister site of playusa.com) for the bargainous sum of £4.49. Hope that helps.

If you're in the UK, the DVD is currently available free on the front cover of Total DVD magazine (April/May 2004 issue). Bargain!

reply

yep, thats where i got my copy from. the transfer is pretty good, but im not convinced this movie was shot in 4x3... anyone know if thats the correct A/R ?

This is where i'd insert the standard Fear and Loathing sig. but there's just not enough space.

reply

It was shot 1:1.85.

Ijust bought a sealed PAL Region 0 DVD copy in a £1.00 shop on Fort William high street. The distribution company give their website as: www.ilcdvd.com

Yeah, I got the same one from Poundland. It realy annoyed me because the other side has Wet Hot American Summer, a rubbish film but a widescreen (possibly letterboxed not anamorphic) version. The Independent had me in stitches, especialy the titles and scenes of his movies, very Troma.

reply

Mmmmmmm Poundland! a source of many crap movies. The one in Oban (where the More Store used to be) has a bigger selection.

reply

Is it going to to be on TV soon? Because I really want to see it.

reply

I heard it will be officially out on DVD by June 2006.

reply

Netflix. I rented it and watched it 6/11/06.
My buddy told me that his boss wrote it, and I'm a long time Janeane Garofalo fan. Funny movie. Great that they made a B movie (with famous actors and directors) about a B movie director. (I won't spoil it any more than that).

Finally out on DVD, and reviewed here:

Good to see. This movie always reminded me of "the New Suit," another cool inside-Hollywood indie flick that just shafted on the release front.
