Death Proof Cancelled & More!

Amazon.de has removed the listing of Death Proof on HD-DVD bringing to end any hope we may have had for this title.

Freedom: 6 has officially been released, though you will have to wait a little while as the website states its expected to ship from the 4th July direct from Bandia Visuals online shop only.

Disco Pigs' release date has gone by but I can't find a retailer that has it in stock, Amazon states 4-6 weeks for delivery while others state 'on order' so for now this will remain in the coming soon list.

The updated upcoming HD-DVD list now looks like this...with Torchwood being possibly the last HD-DVD only title, what with the Freedom titles being on Combo discs.

June

Disco Pigs - Vanguard Cinema - 24/06/08 - TBC if released. Amazon
Torchwood : Series 1 - BBC - 30/06/08 - Amazon / HMV
August
Freedom: 7 - Bandai Visual - --/08/08 - Direct Only

Finally, I've removed the Australian exclusive list from the right hand bar, which only included Rambo III, the French release was released first and can be found easier to buy now so I've added it to the French exclusive list instead.

I contacted Vanguard, and the CFO Olga told me that due to low preorders, they never pressed the discs and it will not be released on HD DVD. They may release it on Blu, but there are no definitive plans according to her, at this time.

According to a studio representative's posting in the German Cinefacts forum, the Death Proof HD DVD will still be released this year. Apparently the discs have been sitting in a warehouse for some time already, but Weinstein is blocking the release until the US version (on BD) is out ...
