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.

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

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.

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.

that's good to know,,,,

firewired · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 11, 2006 at 11:46 AM »

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 · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 11, 2006 at 03:37 PM »

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

ranran · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 11, 2006 at 08:40 PM »

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

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 · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 12, 2006 at 10:29 AM »

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
