Fox better not start using TrueHD over here in America.... That is one of the reasons I love thier releases so much!

Col. Zombie · 04-22-2008, 12:19 PM

I LOVE these movies. What region will these be? I couldn't tell from the web-page. Do you think they will be released over here anytime soon or is anyone planning on importing? Does FOX have own the disitribution rights over seas, or is there some other reason why the schmoes won't release it in the states, too?

Cplhicks · 04-22-2008, 12:57 PM

The Japanese DVD release of the first film had English and Japanese subtitles, (but the "director's cut" did not) so it could go either way on this. Man, I hope they include those English subs. If they do, I'm all over this. I've been wanting to see Daywatch for some time, but haven't got the chance.

Just checked the links provided, and SWEET,

these will have English subs. It appears there will also be an English (and Japanese) dub, as well as the original Russian, at least if the Amazon listing is correct.
Nice.

I can't see this piece of.... But, I'll try to buy them for my BD collection.
And, I can't understand why our country BD-factory (really exists and operates) can't do it titles for Russia consumers.
Country of frighteners idiots.

Japanese 're in [A]-region. The question is whether these titles locked to [A]-region. In any case - it's not a problem, even for me.

statikcat · 04-22-2008, 01:26 PM

I watched the first one - couldn't make it through the second. Maybe it's a Russian thing but I just feel they are sloppy and don't really make a lot of sense. And the characters are a bit weird. I just felt I wan't really sure what the director was trying to do.

Nice.

How can you tell that??? I guess I can't read Japanese. Even when I looked at it in english all that info was still in Japanese.

Edit: Wow, I did a currency check. Is this right? I figure it is only about $36 for the two movie set! That can't be right.

It's not right.

I'm showing $64.22 for the 2 movie set.

WickyWoo · 04-22-2008, 02:30 PM

Yes it has english subtitles

Languages: Russian, English, Japanese
Subtitles Japanese, English

However I would be shocked that since Fox has it over there as well, if it isn't announced for the US as well, since it's obviously be prepped with the english territories in mind. I'll do some checking

The TrueHD version has since been replaced by DTSHDMA. Probably a "typo" by whoever they outsourced the design to

EDIT: Thinking about it some, Fox would probably release them in Sept/Oct in the US, catch that Halloween vibe

depooter · 04-22-2008, 03:14 PM

and also tie in with the DVD/BD release of Wanted, the director's first american film...

I've held out on replacing my overseas cheapy DVD of Daywatch, hoping for a Blu-Ray release.

Because I don't speak Russian.

Ranger-R · 04-22-2008, 04:36 PM

Great Movies, looks like another import for me

Sky_Captain · 04-22-2008, 05:52 PM

Crumbs!! Thanks to Fox's shitty region locking, region B folks will have to wait for an overpriced alternative.

blackhawktraffic · 04-22-2008, 11:43 PM
