Tartan Blu-Ray release dates (in addition to the previously posted ones):
Black Book: 8/27
Tartan's official Blu-Ray press release:
As the home entertainment industry prepares to enter a new world of technology, Tartan Video announces the release of its first High Definition titles. Tartan has chosen three of its most enduring and popular titles to demonstrate the full power of the Blu-ray Disc (BD) format: Paul Verhoeven’s stunning war epic, Black Book; the cult Asia Extreme revenge thriller, Oldboy; and a special 50th Anniversary edition of Ingmar Bergman’s all-time classic, The Seventh Seal.
All three releases are worldwide Blu-ray premieres, the format with broader industry support, a picture quality six times that of current DVDs, and fully uncompressed audio all set to increase consumers’ viewing pleasure beyond their wildest expectations.
Tartan Video’s owner and self-professed early adopter, Hamish McAlpine, says, “To go with Blu-ray was a no-brainer for Tartan. Not only is the format superior to HD-DVD, but also the fact that 7 out of 8 studios have chosen to release their films on Blu-ray means that this so-called ‘format war’ is over before it has really begun.”
In an exciting move, Tartan Video’s Blu-ray releases will be uniquely packaged with the DVD edition of each film to allow consumers who have yet to invest in Blu-ray technology the opportunity to enjoy the films on existing players at no additional cost as they invest for the future.
Both Oldboy and The Seventh Seal contain original English-dubbed soundtracks. All three titles receive their fist appearance on Blu-ray anywhere in the word!
BLACK BOOK
Paul Verhoeven’s epic World War Two drama about a young Jewish woman who joins the Dutch Resistance and gets entangled in a deadly web of double-dealing, betrayal and romance with a Nazi general. This is a stunning, sexy thriller from the internationally acclaimed director of Basic Instinct, Starship Troopers, and Total Recall, featuring Sebastian Koch (The Lives Of Others) and a star-making debut from Carice Van Houten.
THE SEVENTH SEAL – 50th anniversary remastered edition
One the most influential movies of all time by one of the greatest directors of world cinema, Ingmar Bergman’s The Seventh Seal is a timeless classic and this newly remastered version is an ideal way of celebrating the film’s 50th anniversary. A battle-weary knight (played by Max Von Sydow) returns from the Crusades to find a land ravaged by plague. When Death appears and challenges him to a game of chess, it becomes a fight for survival and a search for the meaning of life.
Release date for both films: 27 August
OLDBOY
Park Chan-Wook’s classic genre-defining revenge tale of a man who’s wrongly been imprisoned for 15 years and is then suddenly released. Given money and a mobile phone, he’s challenged to discover who incarcerated him in the first place, but he only has five days to uncover the truth. Even with a mysterious young girl to help him, his tortures have just begun. Cannes-winner championed by Tarantino, Oldboy has become a cult favourite, regularly appearing in top ten best movie polls. Brutal but imaginative story-telling.
Release date: 24 September
Black Book (BD/DVD) and The Seventh Seal: 50th Anniversary Edition (BD/DVD) are released on 27 August, whilst Oldboy (BD/DVD) is released on 24 September, 2007. All three titles retail at £29.99 each.

I truly hope that they bring some of those red-cover titles from their European series (Tiresia, Novo, Errance, etc). Tartan have an amazing catalog! Now if Artificial Eye join the game this would be superb!
(By the way on another forum there are speculations being made about Soda Pictures...so I shall monitor that thread closely to see what pans out).

That said, I look forward to all three discs assuming they are Region A compatible.

I would love to have the Science of Sleep disc... will wait to see if 1) it is region-free w/English subs and 2) these blu-ray discs do not suffer from the same PAL pitch issues that some of Studio Canal's HD DVD titles have.

Tratan's output is limited to the UK only. And Studio Canal's output is limited to France. Optimum, though an extension of Studio Canal in the UK, does not own the rights for ALL of Studio Canal's catalog titles.
This being said the above summation which I would assume reflects only the UK market is rather accurate.

Sony -BD
Disney - BD
Fox - BD
Warner - neutral
Paramount - neutral
Universal - HD
Optimum - HD
That's 5 out of 7. Who am I missing?
If they were referring to the US market, they've left out Weinstein. It's an inaccurate statement no matter how you cut it.

The reason why Studio Canal (and Optimum for that matter) are HD-exclusive is because Studio Canal is a division of Vivendi SA (Vivendi-Universal)!!
Universal channel a lot of funds, especially through Canal + in Spain and France, and to a lot of these insiders there isn't much of a difference between the two (aside from the distribution umbrellas they utilize in different Euro markets).
So, Optimum and Studio Canal are quite well "locked" into Universal's ownership-cage.
While I do not know the person quoted above personally, hence I am not in a position to defend his words entirely, he clearly does not separate Universal from Studio Canal due to the ownership fact pointed above.
Also, his statement does not imply exclusivity, it reads "that 7 out of 8 studios have chosen to release their films on Blu-ray" (I have to look and see what other studios he is referring to but my guess is that his statement most likely has to do with the rumors that have popped up elsewhere on the net that Soda Pictures will be going Blu-exclusive as well...incidentally i already mentioned this before you posted).
Hope this helps!

Studio Canal and Canal + are a division of Universal (in Eastern Europe their entire catalogs are owned and distributed by Universal, 10 years ago I actually worked for their distro-network).
If you click on the very bottom (middle) you will see that they are still listed under Vivendi/Universal-Europe:
http://www.studiocanal.com/cid10017.htm
Yes, they are a division of Universal (see third paragraph here as I don't have time to quote other French sites):

The Studio Canal web site does still say "Vivendi Universal", but all that indicates is that they haven't updated their web page, since "Vivendi Universal" no longer exists. If you click on that link, it redirects to vivdendi.com, which lists the following:
Vivendi is a major player in each of its activities :
Universal Music Group, a 100% Vivendi subsidiary, the world's No. 1 recorded music company, selling more than one out of every four albums worldwide, also holds significant positions in the digital music market.
Groupe Canal+, a 100% Vivendi subsidiary, the French leader in premium and theme channel distribution and programming is also a major player in the financing, acquisition and distibution of motion pictures in France and in Europe.
SFR, a 56% Vivendi subsidiary, is the France No. 2 mobile telecommunications operator, also owns 40.5% of Neuf Cegetel, France's No. 2 fixed-line telecommunications operator.
Maroc Telecom, a 51% Vivendi subsidiary, is the leading mobile and fixed-line and internet access operator in Morocco.
Vivendi Games, a 100% Vivendi subsidiary, is the world's No. 1 player in the massively multiplayer online role-playing games category.
Vivendi holds 20% of NBC Universal, a world leader in media with activities in film and television production, television channel distribution and theme park operations.

I read somewhere there is a Sony release of Oldboy coming to Blu-ray in the US soon anyone heard about that, cant see any news about.

1. In (Western) Europe Studio Canal, as is Canal +, is still under Universal's ownership umbrella. They are a subdivision! And the listing has nothing to do with updating, etc. In fact, even though I am no longer associated with their distribution and marketing system I will also tell you this: In the new Eastern European markets Studio Canal and their catalog are exclusively distributed by Universal - this straight from someone who worked for one of their distro-branches (here's something new about me...
).2. I forgot to address the other exclusive as of now Blu-Ray UK studios you asked about. Those are:
Momentum Pictures (releases set are Hannibal Rising, The Football Factory, etc).
Icon Pictures (releases set are Alpha Dog...)

Sadly UK prices are not as appealing compared to some of those in the US and these are close to $40 each.

DVD Talk Special Edition
Just got the BR discs of The Rock and Crimson Tide, my first impressions are:
The Rock:
One of the worst menu screens ever, makes you think you are watching an early DVD release.
The commentary that was mentioned on the cover has not been found on any menu (this could be a VERY well hidden easter egg).
Some out door scenes seem grainy ( I mention some, others are excellent).
The sound kicks ASS!, the jets and the explosion at the end are stunning.
All the other extras are there, if you haven't watched the out-takes you missed out on some gems. You have to hear what Connery calls a lift. priceless!
I will watch it one night when it is darker and I can see the PQ better.
Crimson Tide:
Menu screen was slightly better.
The sound on the uncompressed setting was solid but as we all know this film (and Hunt For The Red October) have to be seen in darkness, but the PQ seemed pretty good.
Tried taking a picture of the covers but they look out of focus.
Will not get Air Force One because I don't think the SFX would stand up to the HD picture. The Con Air version on Blu Ray is rated "18" over here but according to some people it's bad language has been over dubbed! on a "18" rated film!

Or, just wait until they come out this fall in the US and get them for under $25 (or even under $20 if deals come up again). I can understand importing desired foreign/obscure films that may take a very long time to be released locally, or the opposite format titles, but The Rock, Crimson Tide, and Con-Air are on the way soon. Okay, Air Force One would be an exception since it's Sony in the US, but even then I'd at least wait to see if it gets released.
