^ Thanks

looking good!

Your PS3 can play US, japanese or HK editions, in Europe we estimate 80% of the worldwide BD production is region free.
FOX for example, lock every movie they release.

Check this BD region code list:

Good to see you migrating from the International forum here I will put the chart at the top since the Danish database is now defunct (no one updates is anymore).

Hi Pro-B,

We're in the same boat, I own a japanese PS3 , I'm waiting for a good and not too expensive hybrid player.
Samsung would fit my needs, if what I read is true, with the BD-UP5000 for 799€, it's region A+B.

"Pars vite et reviens tard" is region free and, according to Gaumont, has english subs.

Thanks, updated it!

I have been able to confirm that the upcoming release of David Fincher's ZODIAC will be both region-free and with the original English audio untouched. Pic is handled through WB-Denmark. Street date is September 29th.

But will it be the director's cut?? It's not really worth it if it isn't.

I like that cover.

The total timing announced is 158min. How much longer is the director's cut supposed to be?

Pro-B

How do you know? Have you seen the director's cut? Maybe you'll prefer the theatrical cut.

Maybe when the director's cut is released to DVD next year, the WB-Denmark will handle that on Blu-ray as well.

I'm still on the format fence, but I'm planning on hopping to one side or the other by the end of the year. "Zodiac" is definitely a movie I want to own in HD, so it's nice to know I have the option to buy the Blu-ray, should that be the format I go with.

Thanks for the info, pro-bassoonist!

Wouldn't this fall under the international releases thread?

I keep reading about this thread but which one is it? The Foreign Cinema in BLU thread is for foreign-language productions only. The only other thread I see that addresses foreign is the foreign cinema in HD-DVD...which clearly isn't where this info belongs. Am I missing something here?

If you guys believe that the info is too hectic at this point let me know and perhaps I could start another thread where we could cover ALL foreign-produced Blu releases which will naturally include non-region A titles of English language productions.

Either way since this is a region-free title I thought it would be ok to have a thread on its own, if not OK, I would not mind maintaining a new thread.

Ok, Ciao,
Pro-B

Why don't we just get Adam to change the name of the current international thread so its just a general thread. That way all the info is one one place. Just a thought, maybe everyone else disagrees with me.

All I'm saying is that if Zodiac was out on both formats right now I'd pass. Much like I did with the DVD release. Zodiac is the best movie I've seen this year and I would love to watch it in HD but I'll patiently wait.

The other thread is for non-English productions. Adding non region-A titles of English-language films there will quickly water it down and eventually destroy it. I much rather have a second thread where we post all non-region A info (with covers, etc). The other thread I would like to keep for arhtouse/foreign info on Blu. I would not mind maintaining the second thread, if such should exist, as well.

At the end however I would go with whatever the rest of the members here decide. Just let it be a clean and useful thread, not a mish-mash of dates and titles no one cares about.

Close to three hours total running time, so about 20 minutes longer.

It seems like there's 3 types here:

1.US movies being released internationally.
2.International movies being released internationally.
3.International movies being released in the US.

Personally, I'm most interested in a thread that continues 1 & 2, because those are the ones we're less likely to hear about.

Sweet.

I'd love to see what Fincher adds, but I was quite pleased with the theatrical cut.

The director's cut is BY FAR the superior cut of this film (yes, I have seen it). There is at least one sequence, in which he condenses several years of the investigation into a single montage, that is as good as anything in the theatrical cut.

Remember too that the Region 1 Special Edition coming out in January is going to be a two-disc set LOADED with extras, a la Fincher's Fight Club and Panic Room.

It was a beautifully done poster, I like that they used it as the cover.

Really looking forward to this one.

Big big on the poster.

I think the "International" thread needs to have both Us movies released internationally and international movies released internationally, as long as everything is Region A or Region Free.

Zodiac is also coming out in the UK on Blu-Ray. Will this release be region free as well?

I don't have any info on the UK release so I am not qualified to provide a legitimate answer!

I have been able to confirm however that a slightly cheaper Swedish disc, also region-free, is being released at the same time.
