[evil eye]

Any news on this title? I thought this would be released simultaneously with charlie and polar since they were  in the batman begins previews.

According to Warner,  the Philippine release of The Island was moved to January 2006 (along with Everything is Illuminated and Dukes of Hazard).

Warner pala ito. Cool, so expect another very affordable P499 quality 2-disc DVD.

Oo nga eh. This is fantastic news. I was expecting that Dreamworks/Magnavision would be releasing it.

[DVD_Freak]

I think this is in partnership with Warner.  Dreamworks release is for North America and Warner is in charge for international releases.

Thanks, sir!

From early reports, this has been announced as single disc with making-of featurette, commentary and trailer only in all territories. Hopefully mauna din tayo with a 2-disc edition, but I haven't seen any specs for such.

From dvdactive.com

Warner Home Video has announced the region two release of  The Island which stars Ewan McGreggor. The disc will be available to own from the 9th of January 2006, priced at around £17.99. The disc will feature an anamorphic widescreen transfer, Dolby Digital 5.1 audio, a 'Making of The Island' featurette, the theatrical trailer and a DVD-Rom link to a director's commentary. <---

WHV Philippines confirmed that The Island will be released on January 12. It is indeed a single disc edition with the same specs as the R2 version mentioned above. Retail price has been set at Php499.

[vtec3]

[d4nu65+3R]

for a michael bay movie, i myself suprised myself because i liked this one.  although i think the chase scene is too reminiscent of the highway chase scene in bad boys 2.

still ill be getting it.

Wish granted.   

I believe Mr. Firewired already reported it's going to be a single disc edition priced at 499 to be released on January 12. 

[vp_ortiz]

that's good to know,,,, 

[firewired]

Update on The Island: it's been moved to mid next week due to delays with replication of the VCD version. Apparently, both formats have to be released at the same time.

[vp_ortiz]

At least may good news akong narinig., other than hearing that Gladiator extended R3 is way too expensive,,,

[ranran]

that's great news sir firewired but at P499 does this release mirror the R1 release? 

[Mr. Hankey]

Apparently, both formats have to be released at the same time.

Strange new policy. That wasn't the case in the past, right? VCDs ahead of DVDs were the norm for Warner and most other companies. I'm sure that was the case for Dominion, Scooby-Doo 2, Fantastic Four, etc.

[firewired]

Yup, strange explanation but it doesn't sound like a fixed policy. Maybe they should just eliminate VCDs altogether and bring down their prices to Php299 permanently... 

Anyway, here's the release profile of The Island:

Format: DVD
Language: English
Subtitle: English, Chinese
Special Features: Making of The Island, ROM-enabled Director's Commentary 
Region: 3
No. of Discs: 1
Run Time: 126 mins

ROM-enabled Director's Commentary

Interactual feature, maybe 

Sayang sana 2-dsc release din at may poster ni scarlett johansson 

[vp_ortiz]

di ba may ganito din sa Ultimate Matrix Collection? kao hanggang ngayon wala pa din.?...
