Saw this up for pre-order from Amazon UK.
It mentions format as PAL, but I didn't think that applied to HDM.
No mention of a Region 2 Lock.
This is the UK Warner distribution release, any idea if it will play on a Region 1 P$3??
I have read that the US release of Sweeney Todd from Dreamworks had been tuned down to be less bloody to keep it rated R instead of NC-17, so the UK release might be a bit closer to the (no pun intended) Directors 'cut'.
If Paramount/Dreamworks does not get their US Blu ray business up and running in the next month or so, does anyone know if the UK version is worth placing on pre-order, and if it will play properly on a Region 1 Blu machine???

This was listed as a Region B (2) release and will NOT play in your US Region A (1) player.
I'm sure that this will be the same.

I guess it's back to waiting for some word from Paramount for a Region 1 Blu ray release, if that will ever happen.
An Unrated Directors Cut version would be nice as well..

View profile »Tony, thanks for the comment. Yeah, here's the BEOWULF Japanese Blu-ray link for those interested.
I can't find a Blu-ray of Sweeney Todd yet (other than the UK), so I'll keep checking occasionally. And I'm sure Paramount will be producing new North American Blu-ray releases soon.

View profile »One way to know for sure is by checking with the staff at xploitedcinema.com (USA), as they only carry 'region-free' Blu-ray discs on their site. So, you can email them an inquiry note, or wait and see if the title will show up for sale around the release date (or shortly after). Or search other newsgroups, blogs, etc for discussions of the title. Blurayregioncodes.com at this moment doesn't list the title on their Region B list.
