It has a release date for March in the UK. I think its a WB release so it will be region free.

Skinny · 02-25-2008, 04:02 PM

I've got it on pre-order for release on 17/03/08.

iNCREDiPiNOY · 02-25-2008, 06:24 PM

I think I'm gonna buy it on HD-DUD, since this will be my first title. So don't kick me off the forum, lol!

I may just import it or mayyyyyyyyyybe buy the HD-DVD, but I doubt it.

iNCREDiPiNOY · 02-25-2008, 07:11 PM

We'll see.

me-uk · 02-25-2008, 11:53 PM

Out 17th of March in the UK (its a warner release so will be region free). It can be preordered on amazon.co.uk or sendit.com.

NoQuestion · 02-26-2008, 12:08 AM

This title will be coming to Bluray very soon. Paramount isnt stupid.

Aelun · 02-26-2008, 11:29 AM

I have a question about the UK versions of Beowolf and Sweeney Todd. Are they actually authored and pressed in Europe, or is that done in US then shipped to UK/Ireland

Its not guaranteed. It may not come out until the summer. It puts me in a bad position. I want it and I can get it on HD DVD but Paramount may release it sooner rather than later. American Gangster is differant. Universal isnt ready ot distribute so soon because they havent distributed BLUs yet, Paramount has

Minimejer05 · 02-26-2008, 12:35 PM

I will buy the reg. DVD untill we see a Blu release. Wouldnt mind double dipping.

goodstuff · 02-26-2008, 01:27 PM

Also available from Japan.

iNCREDiPiNOY · 02-26-2008, 07:08 PM

I just bought it today on *cough* DVD with trading card.

DVD

why the hell did you do that, my gf gave me shit for buying it on hd dvd, i just dont want to wait several months to when ever for it to come on blu and be the same price i paid for it today

coolmilo · 02-26-2008, 07:20 PM

Beowulf is not that great of a movie. The animation is OK if you are a fan of this sort of CGI. But otherwise it's a 2 star movie.

The review of the HD DVD is terrific although I don't understand why they would give 5 stars to dolby digital plus audio.

I think this means that when Paramount ports Beowulf to Blu-ray it will have a terrific picture but unfortunately it will include only Dolby Digital audio (no lossless). I hope that I am wrong.

blackhawktraffic · 02-26-2008, 07:24 PM

HD DVD was at target today

Sky_Captain · 02-26-2008, 08:39 PM

Definitely a movie of two halves for me. The Grendel part of the movie bored the pants off me, Beowulf is obviously a total liar and he boasting of this and that got tiresome after a while. The second part, which is his redemption of sorts was much more thrilling. Fair dues to any hero that severs his own arm... Anyone else think that Robin Wright-Penn's Queen looked like a right sour-faced cow?

lildawgryan · 02-26-2008, 08:49 PM

could anyone explain to me why Paramount releases this is the US, but in the UK its a Warner release?
