Titles been pushed back

[verybadthing]

Play.com now have
Tale of two sisters, P2, Lady Vengance and Funny games as 4/5/09 release.
Anyone know any more ?
Was so looking forward to Two Sisters.

[Arkadin]

yeah I noticed that yesterday, but on Amazon.com.uk nothing has changed.
So I guess we'll know more soon.
btw: I believe 2 of those titles are coming to other countries via other distributors so all hope is not lost yet.
"Lady Vengeance" I think is already out in Japan maybe.
can't quite remember.

Just looked on HMV and for two sisters they say it is unavailable and "sorry this title is deleted

[Arkadin]

obviously with Tartan going belly up that is the reason.
the question is will the other distributors in other countries still be able to bring these titles out or are the new masters/elements not being given out.

"Lady Vengeance" is out in Germany but lacks English. No announcements of these in Japan so far. I hope there'd be a good Korean release with English subs at some point in time.

ahhhhh thanks for the info.
I knew I'd seen it somewhere.

[Arkadin]

just read where a UK website HAS 6 copies of the "Funny Games" bd to give away!
so copies did get pressed!
this certainly could bodes well for at least this title making it out.
If not, it will certainly be a super-rare collectible.

Amazon has despatched Funny Games on Blu-ray to me today so it has made its release date Halcyon Pictures picked up distribution of the film from Tartan.

[Arkadin]

yeah it is indeed nice that "Funny Games" made it out.
but if that other company picked up all the distribution then why did all the other pre-orders disappear?

I could have sworn I saw some news about the Tartan library being picked up by someone else - I too was looking forward to owning 'A Tale of Two Sisters' on bluray.

Yes, this is indeed happening. BR release plans however are a different matter.
