I guess you're right on that point...

By the way we also have some Buena vista BR available in french stores (I saw them)
Crimson Tide
Con Air
The Rock

[GasCat]

Thanks for posting I will keep my eyes trained for more announcements from overseas. It is fantastic news. I hope we see many more foreign films with English subtitles.

[speedkick]

I have only had a quick look at the site and the specs show :

Le Jour d'après (Fox) (sortie 26 Septembre 2007)
Blu-Ray double couche
Encodage en MPEG 4
Français, Anglais DTS HD, Allemand
Sous-titres : Français, Anglais, Allemand, Néerlandais
Bonus : Commentaires audio du réalisateur et du producteur, Commentaires audio du scénariste et du producteur, Scènes inédites, Bandes-annonces
Bonus inédits : Recherche thématique (200 entrées), Sélection personnelle de scènes, Jeu en live pendant le film, Commentaires écrits sur le film

yep agreed only for The Day After Tomorrow.

But it is still worth pre-ordering I reckon !! If you're in Australia or Europe and have a Region B player

[Guinness7]

I like the Crimson Tide cover I gues it goes by a different title over ther in France.

[kayman]

Here is another potentially huge news (at least for me...), the french editor MK2 seems to go blu !!!
According to this news
http://www.worldinhd.com/movabletype...es_9.html#more

LES 400 COUPS (The 400 Blows) from Francois Truffaut would be out on blu-ray on the 24th of October !!!
I hope for you all that they will go code free

wow i still cant believe my eyes, MK2 has so many great movies in their catalogue...let's cross the fingers

If Fox & Disney are releasing all these titles in Europe & Australia when are they going to get around to releasing them in the U.S.?

Come on & give us the release news in the U.S.

[WickyWoo]

Very often the French divisions jump the gun on announcing things

Before the end of the year on all of them from what everyone's been saying

[dialog_gvf]

I somehow doubt Fox is only going to be releasing in France. I say let them have the glory of the announcement that shows Fox will be roaring back.
