Coming later this year according to bluray.com. Now we need to get LOCAL HERO and COMFORT AND JOY.
B. It's a Second Sight release in the UK, so no US dub likely, except maybe as a curio.Jeffrey:K said:What region?
When was it dubbed? (Sure you're not thinking of Mel Gibson speaking "English" in Mad Max?)Yorkshire said:I wonder if it'll still be dubbed for the US market.
I could never undestand the need for that. I mean it's not like it's set in Glasgow or anything!
The original US release was dubbed with slightly less-broad Scottish accents. Not sure if they used the same actors, or someone else.Ejanss said:When was it dubbed? (Sure you're not thinking of Mel Gibson speaking "English" in Mad Max?)
I think it happened to Kes, too.AnthonyClarke said:'Gregory's Girl' is an all-time great. I couple it with 'Local Hero' ... so that should, if there's any justice, follow it to Blu ray soon. I'll check out Amazo.co.uk to see if pre-orders are up yet.
I believe 'Gregory's Girl' was dubbed for the States to make the Scottish accent more approachable ... but I'm ready and willing to be corrected just in case I'm getting it confused with 'Kes'.
'Gregory's Girl' is such a sweet movie that I'm really unwilling to watch 'Gregory's Two Girls' in case the magic goes ......
I'm American and I didn't have trouble with the accents in Kes with one exception: I couldn't understand anything said by the actor playing the older brother of the boy protagonist. I had to turn on the subtitles during his scenes.Yorkshire said:I'm at a loss as to why anyone can't understand the accents in Kes...but then again live and work just a few miles from where it was set and filmed, using locals as actors and extras.

WB only has rights to films from The Goldwyn Trust, which comprises the old '30s'-'50's classics Samuel Goldwyn himself produced (GUYS AND DOLLS, WUTHERING HEIGHTS, etc). THAT SINKING FEELING, like GREGORY'S GIRL, was released by The Samuel Goldwyn Company, whose assets are still part of MGM.As such, unless the film has reverted back to its UK-based producers (entirely possible), it would be up to MGM to do something with THAT SINKING FEELING.Ejanss said:(Now, whether Warner's going to put "That Sinking Feeling" on disk...)
Sinking still plays ThisTV, so I would assume it's still in good standing with MGM's Sam Goldwyn arthouse distributions. Just didn't know who owned which parts.Mark Edward Heuck said:As such, unless the film has reverted back to its UK-based producers (entirely possible), it would be up to MGM to do something with THAT SINKING FEELING.
