Any news a The Boston Strangler (1968)?

Wondering if this film is on deck for release. The Boston Strangler - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062755/

In a separate but related story, my best friend for a time when I was kid was named Brian DeSalvo. I could never understand why my mom didn't want me to hang out with him.....

I would love to see this released. This is an interesting and overlooked film. I thought I had read that itwas in the works somewhere, but I cannot be certain. Does anyone else recall such news?

I totally forgot about that film. It's been many years since I've seen it but the photography was the most unique part of it - almost distracting though.

I'd love to see it on disc.

One the best performances by Tony Curtis! The VHS release was, of course, P&S, but wisely they went to a letterbox format for the split-screen sequences.

It's a good movie. I would like to see it packaged with a documentary about the actual case, and the evidence that later surfaced casting doubt on DeSalvo's guilt.
