Hamlet (Kenneth Branagh) BD Digibook -- August 17
No date yet, but an Amazon pre-order has shown up. Update: now scheduled for August 17
Extras will include audio commentary with Kenneth Branagh and Russell Jackson, an introduction by Branagh, the To Be on Camera: A History with Hamlet documentary, a 1996 vintage Cannes Film Festival promo and the film's theatrical trailer. (This appears to be everything from the DVD.)

Very nice, thanks for posting this i was wondering when the pre order for this would go up.

Holy shit. Nice. So for upcoming digibooks we now have Doctor Zhivago, A Star Is Born, and now this.
Does Sony have any more planned for the near future?

My understanding is that the shorter version was planned but, after the 4-hour version was successful, these plans were scrapped.
Did anyone ever actually see the 2.5-hour Hamlet theaterically?

It looks like the short cut was only released internationally, after backlash in the U.S.

I keep hearing about this 2 1/2 hour version, but I've never heard from anyone who's actually seen it.

the the 4 hour version here in L.A. and the 2.5 hour version at the tampa theatre
when i was vistiing back home.
while for obvious reasons the entire 4 hour version is preferd, it would be nice to have the 2.5 hour version as well, they did a pretty good job with editing it down to a shorter running time

Aaaaah, this is good news.
A favorite of mine, and one which is just made for HD...not to mention, I am a sucker for digibooks!

I really wish they'd do a side-by-side in a regular case, too. Not a fan of the digibook packaging.

Finally. I don't like digibooks at all but, much like I did for Silverado, I'll gladly purchase this without hesitation.
