UK gets "Kill Bill" 1&2, "Pulp Fiction", "Beowulf", "Jesse James", and more in March? - Blu-ray Forum

JBlacklow · 12-06-2007, 05:01 PM

Just browsing Amazon.co.uk after finding out that Tudors is no longer available (Out of stock? Cancelled?) and saw a ton of nice releases that are either from HD DVD only studios in the US or not yet announced:

Eastern Promises (Universal in US, Pathe in UK): 2/25/08

Rendition (New Line, not yet announced): 3/03/08

Beowulf (Paramount in US, Warner in UK): 3/17/08

The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford (Warner, not yet announced): 3/24/08

Pulp Fiction (Disney, not yet announced): 3/30/08

Kill Bill, Vol. 1 (Disney, not yet announced): 3/30/08

Kill Bill, Vol. 2 (Disney, not yet announced): 3/30/08

Any of those would be great to have, and if the "Beowulf" listing is true, I'm supremely glad Paramount didn't hold onto global distro. Please note that none of this has been announced or even rumored AFAIK, but I really really really really hope that these come true.

PULP FICTION !!!!!!!!!!!!! what about the USA

Blu-ray Fanatic · 12-06-2007, 05:10 PM

Why is the UK so far ahead of us???? They're making me jealous. Those are the titles I've been waiting for and yet has come to the US

kaliraver · 12-06-2007, 05:12 PM

I would buy at least half of those titles.

Blu-ray Fanatic · 12-06-2007, 05:12 PM

Damn it HD-DVD!!!!! Why do you have to exist???!!!! Life would be much better without you!!!!

Blu-ray Fanatic · 12-06-2007, 05:14 PM

The US probably would've had those titles if it wasn't for HD DVD

Bullseye · 12-06-2007, 05:29 PM

I already have three of those on order. I will order the rest when they are up for pre-order.

sahoward · 12-06-2007, 05:34 PM

I sure hope the Jesse James one is right. Warner has only announced that for DVD in the US and it's one of the most gorgeous movies I've ever seen.

w_tanoto · 12-06-2007, 06:11 PM

the kill bills has been posted before. Plan to pre-order it myself next january

Most of these will be announced for the US, but it's nice to have an option for Beowulf and Eastern Promises while the format war is still ongoing.

Beowulf will have to be region-free, as a Warner title. Does anyone have any experience with Pathé and region coding?

Quint van der Vaart · 12-06-2007, 10:47 PM

Pathe is distributed by Fox in England so I would expect a region B coding for that disc.

Zyclone · 12-06-2007, 11:09 PM

was going to get eastern promises on HD DVD but if its coming out on blu ray im grabbing it on blu for sure

The Don · 12-06-2007, 11:27 PM

Jessie James, KB 1&2 and Pulp Fiction are money out my pocket.....easy

Seretur · 12-06-2007, 11:48 PM

Thanks for the info.

Alas, Eastern Promises isn't worth getting a region B player for.

Papi4baby · 12-07-2007, 01:03 AM

Wait wait wait, so kill bill is not coming to states WTF

Kirsty_Mc · 12-07-2007, 02:09 AM
