Upcoming UK Blu-ray Releases

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

I would have said fantastic in regards both films. I saw The Getaway at the cinema and don't think i've seen it since...and then i noticed it was Icon releasing them.

The same Icon whose Blu's decide to stop playing after X amount of time.

There's a whole thread on them on another forum.

I was wondering that myself but only ITV Studios Global Entertainment is listed on the back of them all.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for more Rank and obscurities and to be overly optimistic, a Sweeney Blu-ray Collection.

As yet everything released since Network went under has just been a rebranded package of an already available Network title.

We've yet to see anything actually new to the market. Were The Sweeney to get a release then that would be new and give ground for optimism that other stuff may also arrive.

I've also *heard* that [it's what MelonFarmers say], but I have yet to find pictorial evidence (i.e a physical media cover)

The Amazon listing is still stating that it is "Suitable for 18 years and over"
