Hi, does anyone know anymore about whether Gilliam's excellent "Tideland", which is showing as being released in Germany on Blu Ray in October, will be region free at all:

I also note that the German Amazon site lists Gilliam's "12 Monkeys" as forthcoming on Blu Ray and that was a Universal title in the States! So could be interesting.

Nice, it's an excellent Terry Gilliam movie.

and will it be released in the OAR?

and will it be released in the OAR?

Yes it will be. I already have the DVD on hand which is 1:2.35 as will be the HD and BR.

Does anybody know if it is going to play on a region A player?

2.35:1 is actually not Gilliam's preferred OAR on this. There was a UK site doing a direct interview with him after ThinkFilm messed up at put out the 1.78: 1 version, and at that point Gilliam mentioned the film should be 2.25:1.

EDIT: I found the link:

It's region free, same as other Concorde releases.

Hi, does anyone have the recent German blu-ray release of "Tideland" and are they able to confirm what extras are on the disc and how it looks?

BD is almost same as HD-DVD.

Was thinking of picking the BD up. Just curious for those who may own it. I know the german disc claims to be 2.35. But is it actually 2.25? Thanks

It's 2.35:1, which is the original theatrical ratio. Gilliam wanted to open the mattes to 2.25:1 for home video, which caused a host of problems because no studio could seem to follow that simple instruction.

Here's my review of the HD DVD. The Blu-ray should be identical:
