Enchanted April

Last week, I saw this delightful little movie directed by Mike Newell, but alas, it was on VHS. I've looked for DVD availability, but there is currently not a Region 1 DVD. This was a Miramax film distributed by Paramount back in the early '90s. The videocassette was from Paramount, but I don't know if they still own the home video rights or if they reverted to Miramax at some point. Has anyone heard of any plans for an imminent DVD release? It's a shame that it's not available.

    Doug, I share your feelings about this movie. I have checked Amazon.com, and they have a page for it but list it as currently unavailable. If you and all who would be willing were to input your e-mail addy there where it allows you the opportunity to be alerted when this is released that would also serve (so Amazon says) to alert the studio involved that this is a DVD for which many people are waiting.

    Patty,

    Done! If the studios do, in fact, pay attention to the demand statistics at amazon.com, I sincerely hope many fans of this film take advantage of this feature.

    Regards,

    D

    A thread like this comes up every couple of months.

    The laserdisc is 4x3 1.33:1, and I have a "region free" DVD I found (don't think it's a bootleg) that's basically a DVD-copy of the laserdisc with audio in only one channel.

    We ALL would love a nice remastered 16x9 version of this wonderful film. PLEASE... Who owns the rights these days?

    Hear hear... I am one of the guys who always concurs every time this subject comes up... With all the big name British stars and directed by the same dude who did the latest Harry Potter movie, there is no good reason why this wonderful film hasn't made it to DVD yet...

    Someone on the IMDb has a petition going. I doubt the effectiveness of that route but here it is:

    http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/enchantedaprilDVD

    can't hurt. Here they say that Paramount is the target for this petition. They have over 200 signatures.
