HOT NEWS!

Help! will finally be released on DVD on 22nd October in the UK and 23rd in the US. There will be two versions, a standard release and a deluxe 2 disc version. The deluxe version will apparently also come with a movie poster, lobby cards and a copy of the film script!

Don't hold your breath!!

So maybe I'll have Help at last on DVD.
I've got AHDN and it's true that the sound of the music is a  bit weird, kind of echoey.But the image quality is fine.
Any ideas of what could be on the second disc?

I think they said almost the same for Let It Be like a year and a half ago, but hopefully this one pull through.

Oh ya, crap i forgot about that! what if it doesn't...I think i'm going into shock...

  Ya, but that new guy took over so, it might this time!

Ive made a space for this DVD on my bookcase

yes yes yes yes yes!!!  

that made my day.

Yea! Mine, too.

Told ya!

Yeah!!!, top of my christmas list!

A 'missing scene' on disc 2!
Frankie Howard?

Apparently it's a scene with Wendy Richards (ex-Are You Being Served and Eastenders actress). Was Frankie Howerd in that scene too - I can't remember?

Those Beatles really know how to stay in the news. Release everything at about 10 year intervals and then tease people in the mean time with great promises of riches beyond our wildest imaginations. I'll buy it though. Deluxe or not.

Apple Corps Ltd have announced the eagerly anticipated DVD release of The Beatles' second feature film 'Help!'

on October 30th (October 29th ROW) which will be marketed and distributed by EMI Music.



Directed by Richard Lester, who also directed the band's debut feature film 'A Hard Days Night', 'Help!' made its theatrical debut in 1965. The story follows The Beatles as they become passive recipients of an outside plot that revolves around Ringo's possession of a sacrificial ring, which he cannot remove from his finger. As a result, he and his bandmates John, Paul and George are chased from London to the Austrian Alps and the Bahamas by religious cult members, a mad scientist and the London police.

In addition to starring the Beatles, 'Help!' has a witty script, a great cast of British character actors and features 7 classic Beatles tracks, including:

    -- 'Help!'

    -- 'You're Going To Lose That Girl'

    -- 'You've Got To Hide Your Love Away'

    -- 'Ticket To Ride'

    -- 'I Need You'

    -- 'The Night Before'

    -- 'Another Girl'

The DVD will be a 2-disc set. Disc 1 will feature the original film digitally restored with a newly created 5.1 soundtrack, while Disc 2 contains an hour of extra features, including:

    -- The Beatles in Help! -- 30 minute documentary about the making of the film with Richard Lester, the cast and crew. Includes exclusive behind the        scenes footage of The Beatles on set.

    -- A Missing Scene -- Featuring Wendy Richard

    -- The Restoration of Help! -- An in depth look at the restoration process.

    -- Memories of Help! -- The cast and crew reminisce

    -- Theatrical Trailers -- 2 US trailers and 1 Spanish trailer.

    -- 1965 US Radio Spots -- Hidden in disc menus.

There will be 2 editions of the DVD -- a standard digipack and a deluxe boxed set that will contain a reproduction of Richard Lester's original annotated script, 8 lobby cards and a poster, plus a 60-page book with rarely seen photographs and production notes from the movie. Both the deluxe book and the standard booklet feature an introduction by Richard Lester and an appreciation by Martin Scorsese.
