The Boys from Brazil in North America

[Forty-One]

I don't know if this thread has already been created, but I was wondering if The Boys from Brazil is going to be available in North America soon. This movie is available in Blu-ray only in the UK and I understand it is not even formatted in its original aspect ratio, which is an absolute no no for me. Any news on this? I would just love to add this movie in my Blu-ray collection.

No word, but the Brazilian release is better than the U.K. release. I could show you that if some unknown mod hadn't closed my thread for no reason.

I'm sorry. I mean the Australian release since it is DD 2.0 and instead of DD 1.0, but I am not sure if its region free like the U.K. release.

Still trying to get that reinstated. Whichever mod deleted it did not follow standard moderator rules.
