The Rock (BR) - Still coming out in June?
"The Rock" is one of my favourite action films, and since the Criterion DVD had such an awesome transfer I have high hopes for the HD release.

So does anyone know if the June 5th release will still be met?

EDIT: Looks like it's officially TBA, like "Con Air"

Re: The Rock (BR) - Still coming out in June?
If it is July then i am going to have to get a PS3; i really like the Rock, it is one of my guilty pleasures and the Criterion release has a great PQ. If this improves on that then it would be awesome imo.

Same!

Face/Off comes out soonish as well in America, so some great action films to get. I'm hoping the Die Hards come out before the year is over too, a 4 film boxset would be great

Re: The Rock (BR) - Still coming out in June?
I'll definitely pick all 3 of these up. Hopefully when these are released Stateside, they will be multi-region like other recent Buena Vista releases.

Re: The Rock (BR) - Still coming out in June?
I love The Rock, ConAir and Face/Off and really hoping for top notch conversions of these films (CrimsonTide was never one of my favs just thought it was a bad copy of Hunt For Red October myself)

Re: The Rock (BR) - Still coming out in June?
DVD World USA have got some of these titles listed as being released on the 2nd of September in the US.

Let's hope the UK is still early July!

Re: The Rock (BR) - Still coming out in June?
Interesting - I wonder if Crimson Tide is still on track for a 2nd July release in the UK then - although £17 is a little steep for a catalogue title. Do BV UK releases use the US 'slimline' packaging or the bloated UK cases?

Indeed, I had to trade my retail Casino Royale for a freebie one but still left with Harry Potter & Stalingrad HD's

Would get these whatever the casing if they were more sensibly priced, £12/13 would be about right, cant justify near £18

Re: The Rock (BR) - Still coming out in June?
My copies of Con Air, The Rock and Crimson Tide have all shipped today

When I'll actually get them is anybodies guess though, the postal strike is bound to delay everything by more than just the day they're actually on strike
