Viy aka Forbidden Empire 3D Blu-ray(2012) [Region B Locked] [International Cut only]

[levcore]

Finally watched the trailer and i think it looks fantastic! Love the visuals and it's great to see Flemyng in a lead role, been a fan of him for ages. The FX look great too. I really hope the eventual German release is English friendly.

Can i just ask how the above poster (13thman) knows that the 3D disc has NO English on it? That really sucks.

I am not sure why either version would have English since this was originally released in Russian.

Based on the trailer above being English and the glut of English speaking actors in it. IE it was filmed in English. Jason Flemyng does not speak Russian. Did you watch the trailer? They're speaking English.

The trailer might as well be dubbed. I don't really think it was filmed in English because pretty much every other actor except Flemyng and Dance are Russian. They probably did their lines in English and were dubbed, with the release language remaining Russian.

No, but I seen bits of the original production and it is all in Russian, perhaps the English speaking actors were dubbed into Russian, I don't know. However, I would see no reason for the German or French release to offer English. Although it is funny, I don't think the French release even offers Russian. The Russian release of the 3D Blu-ray included only Russian and not even Russian subtitles. Depending on which studio is releasing this in those countries, English may not have even been an option for them.

Thanks for your responses guys and elaborating. I hope the German release has English!

I just check http://www.amazon.fr/dp/B00SU2UXUW?_...I35NSUHGIY6031 and this is the information for audio "Audio : Anglais (DTS-HD 5.1), Français (DTS-HD 5.1)"

That is correct for the French 2D Blu-ray. The back of the cover shows the 3D Blu-ray only has Français 5.1

The pre order for the German version is up at amazon.de.

Looks like the German version will have German / English audio, German subs (don't think they are forced), run-time 111 min, region B. The original version has a run-time of 127 min (IMDB). This seems to be a cut for the international market, because the French version also has a run-time of 111 min.

I put this on my list and give a thanx to Taygan315. I never heard of this movie before.

I posted the link to a pic of the back cover of the French version in my opening post at the beginning of this thread. Sorry it wasn't more visible.

I see Paul did confirm it here and the recent pic of the back cover from 13thman also indicates no English audio for the 3D version. So the info on the back cover of the French release is incorrect?

This is confusing as the rear art clearly confirms no English audio for the 3D version but the above poster is saying there IS English audio for the 3D version.

[Steedeel]

So, is the 2 disc German release the only one that has English on the 3D version? The one disc German version doesn’t have English track. Is that correct? I’m really confused.
