I just found out from DVD Empire that The Enemy Below has been cancelled by Fox. Does anyone have any info on why this has been pulled off the schedule? Thanks.
Dear Customer
We have just been notified by 20th Century Fox that they have
canceled the release of The Enemy Below that was due to street on May
20th, 2003. The item has been deleted off your order.
We do apologize for this inconvenience and we will follow up if and
when a new date is announcedI just received this email this morning from my e-tailer about this pre-order. What is the story??? Is it gone for good or just delayed for an specified time or what? Of course unless an insider gives us the "real" scoop, IMHO I kind of doubt Fox will give us a "real" reason. I'm bummed, I was really looking forward to this DVD. I hope this does not turn into a trend with this line of DVDs that Fox was to release.
Strange things are happening. Apparently, Enemy Below will be released by Fox on May 3 in Germany (specs: 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen; DD4.0 sound; trailer as an extra)I'm wondering if a couple of dozen people saying I want this film would sway Fox in any way? It is indeed interesting that Germany will get this film in May, but not the USA. We need some definative word fron Mr Staddon or someone else who is in a position to know exactly what is going on with this DVD release. Meanwhile I'll clutch my widescreen laserdisc tight & check out the possibility of getting the German release. :frowning:
I purchased the R2 version from CD Japan. Too bad Fox USA is sticking it to us in regards to a R1 releaseWell CD Japan has shipped my R2 "The Enemy Below". Once it arrives in about a week, I'll post my impressions of it here. Once again Thank God for my multi-regional player.
Do you have it on order? If so, please let us know when you receive it. Thanks.Yes, I've got it on order. May be a while before I receive it though as its release date is May 20 and I've ordered it from DVDBoxoffice who are very slow with shipping (still waiting for them to ship The Awful Truth which came out weeks ago). If I get it, I'll give you an update.
