I've been waiting for this for a very long time. Super excited. Wonder who'll release it in the U.S.?

This was an Artisan title, and I believe a lot (if not all) of those are now part of the Lionsgate catalogue. If that's the case, I could see Lionsgate doing one of their "Lionsgate Limited" webstore exclusives—maybe. I'm not sure if this title has a big enough pull for them to consider it though.

The Umbrella website doesn't seem to indicate whether this is a region B release, though I believe many of their discs are often region-free. I have a region-free player so I will most likely be getting this. It's one of my favorite John Waters movies and I've always thought it was extremely underrated. I'm happy to see Melanie Griffith did a new interview for it.

It's definitely Lionsgate in Australia too - Umbrella have started a new deal with them, hence All Of Me etc and the upcoming Dogma release. I suspect they will start mirroring Lionsgate Limited and vice versa.
