Battle Royale set for December 13 (Update)

[GrinwithoutaKat]

Hey guys.

I was wondering if anyone knew what was going on with Battle Royale in the UK. I've been trying to get hold of the DVD, but after placing several orders, I always get a mail some weeks later saying the item has been discontinued. I just saw on HMV's website, a new release is coming out on the 5th April, from Arrow Films. I've checked out their website, and seems they specialise in world cinema.

I'd read that Tartan UK (the ones who originally put BR out on DVD), had gone bankrupt, with their library passing to a company called Pallisades Media. Does this mean they've sold the BR rights to this Arrow Films? If so, it could be worrying for the prospect of a Blu Ray release, as Arrow Films seem to only be putting out DVDs (well, and VHS :s).

Anyone got a better idea of what's going on?
