Image Entertainment (Parent of Criterion COllection) is bought the rights to the film. Here's the link (IT IS NOT FAKE. IT IS TRUE):

Hmm. What about Image releasing it solo? Who has the rights?
Go to [email protected] and ask them to work on the Apu trilogy and Sholay.
Criterion is to release the DVD this April. The details of the DVD are:
* New, restored high-definition digital transfer, approved by director of photography Mike Molloy
* Commentary featuring director Stephen Frears and actors John Hurt and Tim Roth
* Parkinson One-to-One: “Terence Stamp,” a 1988 television interview with the actor
* Original theatrical trailer
* PLUS: A booklet featuring a new essay by film critic Graham Fuller
I hope the release of this film spurs more discussion on the board. This film is one to talk about. It's amazing.

shareHalle-bloody-lujah! I only found out in the last few mins. Over to you, Mr Willie Parker..........
Death be not proud (Holy Sonnet X) John Donne
Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou thinkst thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow
And soonest our best men with thee do go
Rest of their bones and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppies or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke. Why swellst thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die!

I've been hanging onto an old VHS version, hoping that it would come out on DVD some day. Finally! My son just emailed me with the news. The Hit is one of my all time favorites, and it deserves the full treatment from a company like Criterion.
And, as usual, Amazon screws up the listing credits, ignoring the three main actors in favor of minor players.
