I tried calling Fox Pathe to clarify but recieved a bizarre response.

All the contact details are here if someone else would like to try ...

Eastern Promises Blu-Ray (UK Release) - 25/02/08

Their response is one page back.

I checked the output from my Samsumg BDP1400 to the JVC HD1 Projector and its certainly 1080P at 24hz and there is a DTS HD track.
