Today is a happy day. After years of waiting and posting and asking we can finally enjoy this masterwork on DVD I got my email from Netflix, it's in the mail - cannot wait to return from my vacation from a wet and windy UK to reacquaint myself with Ken and his happy band. Guess I need to...

Sad news According to the Digital Bits, Warner has postponed the HD discs until they better understand demand. Disppointing for sure. But I'm so happy to be able to watch the DVD anyway. I no longer buy discs so the double dip thing is irrelevent. Rob

It's been repeatedly stated that HD versions are coming out. I'm not sure why Warners have not formally announnced it. Anyone any ideas? Rob

Darrell, No need for that. Since the format started I have fought two crusade. The Big Blue and now this. The true champions are Ron and his team for keeping forums like this going that enablke our views to appear in front of the studios. Twenty years ago it was all so different. I simply...

I started this thread several years ago..... This has been a long time coming and a seeming endless session of posts and asks. IMHO this release is all and more than we could ever have hoped for. Thanks again to Warners Rob Quartet of Great Films from the Bard’s Greatest Works THE...

The problem with the upgrade path at the moment is that everything is moving scarily quiclkly on the display front. You should strat a new thread in another part of this forum Another great resource is at AVS Good luck Rob

I don't think you should have too many problems upgrading to HD Front Projection for $3k in the summer :-) You won't regret it Rob

I have a large loft, Sony Pearl, 10 foot screen....... Sounds like a good idea. Rob

By the way, I've had my sig for years and now really can dream in HD of Branagh's Hamlet. Sorry for the gushings, but it's been a long 6/7 years waiting for this moment. Rob

Doug I tried yo every time and missed out and was getting desperate as the clock ticked by I then posted my post and realized there was a typo, so redid it and you beat me to it :-) I'm just glad you asked and even happier that this long wait is at last over. For some people, they will...

As I started this thread about five years ago let me announce the joyous news From Warner's on the chat tonight Hamlet this summer in SD, HD DVD and Blu Ray Rejoice, this is a great day! Rob

We are still speculating. We've been doing it for 5 years or so. However, I'm once again encouraged that The Digital Bits thinks that Hamlet will be part of the news within the chat on the 26th, Can someone please ask WQarners about this. I'll try but never seem to be around. Can you...

I have been holding my breath for a Warner's CES announcement incorporating Hamlet. Any news anyone? Rob

Here we are ending 2006 with still no news. What the hell, by govenrnment statistics I'm not due to die for another 30 years so I should get lucky Who knows what format though :-) Rob

Have to agree We've been waiting for years so i guess as long as it's a decent print and anamorphic... :-) Warner's hold the rights though, so we should be OK Rob

In celebration of this thread being nearly five years old. I'm patient :-) Bill Hunt on Digital Bits has announced that he's spoken with Warners and they have completed the telecine for a release in 2007. Now work is underway on SE content. Whilst this is good news we've been hearing...

Thanks Gordon. I feared as much. Year after year this keeps slipping. Oh well, I'm sure there will be another 100 titles of dross released each week in between. Wouldn't it be nice if they released this in HD. It would probably be the kicker for me to take the plunge and buy a machine. Rob

So we've been told that the film will be released this year by Warners but does anyone have any idea when? Rob

There have been so many rumors over the last few years. I am now secretly hoping that this will creep out as an HD title. I read somewhere that an HD master had been made. Can you imagine an HD disc from the 65mm print? We can but dream. Rob

Hilarious :D Even a rabid Hamlet fan has to agree with that one! Rob

Hmmm Total silence. DigitalBits just had a big Warner release rumor section and no Hamlet. I dunno. I just don't know why Warner does not let us know what's happening, if anything. It can hardly be that they fear a competitor move for a similar 4 hour Branagh Shakespear movie... I can...

I was travelling when the chat was on and missed it. I'm really disappointed it did not get a mention. Particularly when there's so much talk of a 2006 release. We can only keep on hoping. Rob

Yee hah You guys beat me too it :-( I had it cut and pasted and ready to announce :-) We've been waiting along time for this title. So any news is good news. I know we've heard it all before, but at least we have multiple sources this time. Dare I wonder if Warner are simultaneously...

Dana We can but hope. I have waited since the beginning of DVD for this title to appear. Each month I stare in disbelief at the dross that skulks onto the shelves leaving Hamlet behind. The site gives me great hope. But we've been there before, alas. Rob

Dana What site are you referring too? Rob

Starting to feel a bit sad. Digital Bits recently listed an immense amout of titles coming from Warners in 2006 and still no mention of Hamlet. Does anyone have any news at all. I suppose the one good thing here is that we may get an HD version of the full film from the 65mm print. Now...

It's now been three years since we started this thread and a few months since any activity. I was just curious if anyone had heard anything about the supposed Warner Bros. 2006 release of the movie? If you look at imdb you'll see that next year is the tenth anniversary, and strangely that a...

I started this thread 3 years ago almost to the day and it's a joy to return and discover that Warner Brothers has finally agreed to realse the film in it's complete glory in 2006. I can only say a huge theanks to the many people who have campaigned to make this happen. It's a thrill that...

Sorry for starting so many threads. I'll stick to this in future. It constantly amazes me that we get endless dreck from the studios and this one just lingers. I just hope that when it eventually emerges it will have been worth the wait. Digital Bits was my last source of a rumored...

Every six months I start another thread in the vain hope that this film might actually get released. As Police Academy and other dreck keeps hitting the shelves I wonder when Warner will get around to releasing this film. We've heard that Branagh has worked on the DVD and that a spring release...
