I see a few unusual titles listed in the UK for Blu-ray Disc release recently.
Until Death is being planned for release by Momentum Pictures on October 6th, 2008.
This 2007 Jean-Claude Van Damme film was directed by Simon Fellows
The Abba-centric Mamma Mia! has been listed by Universal Pictures UK for Blu-ray release on November 24th, 2008.
This is a movie of the musical that is based on the songs of Abba.
The Lost Prince has been scheduled by 2 Entertain Video for release on October 27th, 2008.
The recent Angelina Jolie action movie Wanted will be released by Universal Pictures UK on December 1st, 2008.
Hopefully we will see an official US announcement soon also.
Universal Pictures also has some TV coming - Ricky Gervias in Extras - The Christmas Specials - on November 3rd, 2008.
I see a wide range of new titles up for UK Blu-ray release.
ITV DVD is planning the Frank Darabont classic The Shawshank Redemption for release on November 10th, 2008. ITV also has The Ipcress File on the same day.
It looks like we will be getting a big dose of Hulk around the year’s end with the new Incredible Hulk movie Blu-ray Disc release as well as the earlier Ang Lee Hulk film.
In the UK, I see that Hulk has been listed by Universal Pictures UK for release on November 24th, 2008.
In France, I see that L’incroyable Hulk has been listed by Warner Home Video on January 23th, 2009.
Over in the UK today I see a bunch of new titles from Universal Pictures UK, starting with 40 Year Old Virgin on September 22nd, 2008.
Universal has also listed Land Of The Dead and The Thing on October 6th, Casino on October 20th, Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore and I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry on November 10th, and Fearless, American Gangster, Miami Vice, The Mummy and The Scorpion King on November 24th, 2008
Equilibrium has been listed by Momentum Pictures for Blu-ray release on September 15th, 2008. This Sci-fi thriller from 2002 featuring Christian Bale and Sean Bean has somewhat of a cult following and was previously available as an HD DVD import from Japan. It is perhaps fitting that it will become an import from the UK for Blu-ray Disc, assuming region compatibility.
I see something at Amazon UK that makes me very happy today.
The cult TV series Thunderbirds, made back in 1964, has been scheduled for release by ITV on September 15th, 2008. The retail pricing is a little steep at £120.99 - of course Amazon has it for a significant discount - only £90.75.
Looks like the UK is getting some new Blu-ray release announcements ahead of the US again.
