Scroll down to 25-06-2008. I'll just wait for the domestic release which will hopefully be out sooner than that.

FYI, the French Ghost Rider HD-DVD has some serious problems, the worst of which is a fairly bad lip-sync problem. Fast forward is limited to max speed only, and opening the menu pauses the film instead of overlaying the playing feature. Small good news is the extra feature covering the comic origins is included. Whether all discs have this problem or not I don't know, mine sure does.

The french editor BAC Films will release Nadine Labaki's Caramel on March 13th, on DVD, Blu-Ray and HD-DVD.

Those editions won't be english friendly :
16/9
1.77
Lebanese : DTS5.1, DD 5.1 and 2.0
French : DD 5.1 and 2.0
Subtitles : french

The HD releases will only have the same few extras contained in the SD simple edition.
Interview with N.Labaki (director and main character) and K.Mouzanar (score).
Labaki's biography.
Trailer.

In Beirut, five women meet regularly in a beauty salon, a colorful and sensual microcosm of the city
where several generations come into contact, talk and confide in each other. Layale loves Rabih, but Rabih is married.
Nisrine is Muslim and her forthcoming marriage poses a problem; she is no longer a virgin.
Rima is tormented by her attraction to women and especially to a lovely client with long hair.
Jamale is refusing to grow old. Rose has sacrificed her life to take care of her elderly sister.

In the salon, their intimate and liberated conversations revolve around men, sex and motherhood,
between haircuts and sugar waxing with caramel.

BAC Films cancelled this HD-DVD release of Caramel.

Anyone have any other titles to add to the original post, as it hasn't been updated in a while? I can't see to find any places that constantly keeps updating their lists for international HD-DVD releases

BTW, a big for True_Story1011 for the initial list.

That seems pretty quick for Cloverfield. Kinda funny that you'll be able to import the HD-DVD of No Country for Old Men and the Blu-ray of There Will Be Blood.

I'm sorry, I haven't paid close to attention to some of these titles. I just saw the list posted somewhere and passed it on.

Any chance of seeing the extended King Kong or theatrical Payback released? It's really pissing me off they keep releasing the wrong versions of things.

I like the director's cut of Payback a lot better than the theatrical. To each his own.
