Willy Wonka...special edition in UK? (1 Viewer)

[JoeJ]

Is there any chance that the Special Edition of the film that has been available in Region 1 for years getting released over in the UK? I would import, but I just want to know if a Region 2 equivalent will eventually come out. Also, is the transfer on the UK DVD the poopy one found on the old barebones Region 1 DVD?

Can't answer your question Joe but I'd assume a popular title like Willy Wonka would eventually be released in the UK, i would've expected it to already be available.

If you're interested though, I've got a brand new R1 SE to trade, just in case...

LMK.

Meh, I'll probably just get the Region 1 edition. It seems as though pathetic DVD distribution services a la BVHE UK has seeped through to Warner Brothers...
