Topic: Children of Men (March 27, 2007)

[boredfilmmaker]

Universal Home Video has sent over early details on Children of Men which stars Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, and Michael Caine. The Alfonso Cuarón directed drama will be available to own from the 27th March, and should retail at around $29.98. The film itself will be presented in anamorphic widescreen, along with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround track. The extras haven't been revealed in full I'm afraid, although we can confirm that the disc will include deleted scenes, featurettes and more. A HD-DVD/DVD Combo release will also be available from the 27th for $39.98. We'll bring you further details shortly.

Chances are the R3 release of this film will be much earlier than R1.  PinoyDVD.biz list it last December as January 30, 2007, although as expected it had been moved back again and again...  Hopefully like Casino Royale, it will come much earlier in R3...so no R1 of this film for me...

at CD Wow the R3 was expected to be released Feb. 8 but has now been changed to March 15, if I'm not mistaken..

I've been waiting for this one to come out. I can't still find it from Amazon as of the moment. Hopefully, it'll be shown first in theaters here in Pinas before the DVD arrives.

I hope the R1 or even our local R3 gets the same (or more?)..
