Thanks: Gave 9, Got 9 | UK release for Crank on BluRay..?
Anyone know when/if this is coming out in the UK?
Have a UK PS3 on order and this would have made a perfect purchase to go with it.
But there doesn't seem to be any sign of it...

Crank is distributed by Lionsgate in the US, who are supporting Blu-ray only. However, in the UK it is distributed by Universal, who are supporting HD-DVD only.
So, in short, don't expect to see it on UK Blu-ray in the foreseeable future.
No word on a UK HD-DVD version either, FWIW.

hmm looks like another reason to get the 360 HD-DVD addon.
Others being for Children of Men and Out of Sight.
That's of they release it on HD-DVD

For anyone who is interested, Crank is available as a HD download from the Xbox 360 US Marketplace, and is one of the better quality HD films I have viewed on there!
480 points = approx £4

Watched it on Sky HD today and the PQ was superb http://www.avforums.com/forums/showt...84#post5208284
Would love to get a UK Blu-Ray copy should it ever be released.
