I've heard from someone that Optimum Releasing will be releasing Napoleon in the UK (R2) on May 28th. They don't seem to have anything on their website about it. I'm hoping this means rights issues have been resolved. To my knowledge, the film has never had a UK video release. They're also releasing Gance's Austerlitz on the same day.

Anyone know if this is actually happening?
