What a pleasant surprise! Released on December 14th.
Hope Gods and Monsters will be released on Blu soon.

missed that one.. just seen stephen frys tweet about it. Saw it the cinema

not sure who owns the film, but it seemed to have dissapeared, but glad to see it appearing.

I do believe there is some quite famous nudity in the film too.

just need gods and monsters now

1080/50i btw. Colleague has a check disc.

No extras. LPCM stereo track. English HoH subs.

MattDean · 12-04-2015, 04:51 PM

Not worried about the extras, I've got the original (Jewel case?) DVD which has a few things on it. Just glad it's on its way.

Thanks for the warning about the 1080/50i transfer. Do you know whether this is also the case for 'Tom & Viv', coming out the same day from the same source (Altitude Film Distribution)?

That was in my wishlist, but it's a pity now..

Great! Let's hope we don't have to wait too long.

He has the check disc for Tom & Viv too. 1080p, LPCM 2.0 stereo, English HoH subtitles. No extras.

Has anyone got this 'Wilde' BD? Can you confirm the actual running time for the film (not necessarily what it says on the case)?

Disappointed to see it's 50i. Does anyone know why it is?

I thought it might have been filmed at 25 fps for TV, since it was produced by the BBC, but IMDb says the full running time is 118, while the BD running time is 112.

(I'm growing wary of IMDb running times for Brit productions shot at 25 fps -- I've come across several examples of late where the running times quoted were after conversions, either 25-to-24 fps for US BD, or PAL-to-NTSC video. Such a minefield!)

Buscemi · 01-03-2017, 06:14 PM

This was a theatrical release (Sony distributed in the US, while PolyGram had UK rights). This might simply be a case where the best possible master was a PAL master prepared for television rather than a theatrical print or a 1080p master (Sony may have both somewhere, I could see Twilight Time doing this one in the US).

The running time difference meanwhile is a simple case of PAL speedup.

TheOneWithThePrize · 01-03-2017, 06:40 PM

What is the word on the Spanish edition? Run time is quoted as 118 and said to be 1080p.

Yeah, thanks for that, Buscemi. I realised it was released at the cinema, since that's where I first saw it here in Australia, but that happens often for us with things that go straight to TV in the UK or US. And obviously I have no memory of the frame rate at the time.

I realised the issue was PAL speed-up, something that I actively dislike because I can hear that the audio is off-pitch. It's the reason I started buying Blu-rays in the first place! ;-)

Ah well, fingers crossed for another release -- maybe a US one? -- with a 24fps transfer.

So is this actually an upscale, or not?

Because those Blu-ray caps are very clearly HD.
