Tenebrae region coding update

9:28 PM / Blu-ray / Comments4 Comments

A brief correction to my review of the French BD release of TENEBRAE: the disc is in fact coded for all regions, NOT Region B only as I previously reported (thanks to Kannisto for pointing this out). The reason for the confusion stems from the packaging, which erroneously labels the disc as Region B. Apologies for the confusion.

Great to hear about the Tenebrae Blu-ray! (not the region coding, but the image quality and the availability of the film on BD)

I just ordered it at fnac. I'll have to remove the subs by watching it via HTPC, but that shouldn't be a problem. I also ordered the Lost Highway and Danton Blu-rays, didn't know those were out in France as well. Great! :)

Fire Walk With Me is also just out on BD in France, but I haven't seen Twin Peaks (the TV series) yet, so I will wait with that one.

I also noticed the three Gaumont Astérix films just got released in France as well. Couldn't find out anything about subtitles, image quality or bonus features for them though. Google informed me that they are announced for release on Blu-ray in Germany in April next year, so I decided to wait. But maybe this is of interest to you, if you don't already know about the French BDs anyway.

Unrelated: Still haven't received my pre-ordered Szamanka Premium Edition from Amazon.
What's the scoop?

Bobafett:

The ASTERIX films came out on BD? How did I miss this?!! Many thanks for the heads-up - I've gone ahead and ordered all three.


Daniel:

I honestly have no idea what's going on there. The best I can really suggest is contacting Mondo Vision directly.

On that Szamanka note, I emailed Mondo and got this response on October 5th:

Dear Christopher,

Thank you for your email. We pressed a VERY limited quantity of both editions before going into full production and those copies were sold out during the early stage of pre-orders. All outstanding Amazon orders will be fulfilled within 4-6 weeks from today. We are working hard to get these in stock asap.

Thank you for your support.

Best,

Mazi

It hasn't quite hit the six-week mark yet; four more days to go. ;) Hope I get my copy soon as well.

So Tenebrae is region-free, eh? May have to get it. May just wait for Blue Underground.
