L'empire des Loups (Jean Reno's latest)




Jean Reno's latest film Empire of the Wolves/L'empire des Loups is now officialy across movie theaters in Europe. The French critics are the least to say "impressed" with it...so expect a distant future R1 release (if at all...similar to the Corsican). Directed by Chris Nahon (Kiss of the Dragon).

Official site:
http://www.lempiredesloups.com/

Trailer available after the page loads up (select Tres Haut Debit for HD). Allocine also reports that substantial behind-the-scenes footage has been prepared for the future DVD release.


Ciao,
Pro-B

There was a thread about this a while ago. The trailer looked good. I'm glad to see its getting good reviews. Reno deserves a hit.

Didn't this thing get torn apart by French critics?

That's too bad, as the novel on which the film is based has a good plot.

Fnac does! But I assume that Amazon.fr will get it up on the site soon. There are three different versions as it appears....a lot of extra materials. See all three versions here:

I don't have a detailed review yet (esp, one in English) but the Black disc looks packed with extras. Given the fact that TF1 is handling this I am going on a limb here (and when RAMA or Attitude come out with their review you can prove me wrong) and will tell you that this will be a 9 or a 10 presentation. The film did so poorly with the critics TF1 will certainly do their best to sell this film to Reno fans. With other words...should be a top notch presentation.

No, I am not!! I don't feel like spending big bucks on this DVD. In fact, I have been so disappointed with Reno's recent films I am hardly going to consider even the R1 release (a quick look at best). I also reached my limit for this month (on Italian releases) plus I would like to pick up the 2 new Tartan DVDs (Errance for sure).

Let me answer your question...the black case is a limited edition of the film which will be issued only in 25 000 numbered sets!!
Hope this helps,

I was wrong, the Collector (black box) edition is out, a friend of mine saw the 1DVD version for 19.90 Euros and the 3DVD Collector for 26.99 Euros at her local store but no 2DVD box.
