I missed this one in the cinema. And to be honest, I didn’t really care. The trailers weren’t really doing it for me. I’m not a big Bale fan. And McG is synonymous with celluloid pablum. But you know what? I sort of regret not checking it out now. I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s just because I’ve remembered how much I dig films about robots on a killing spree. Either way, I’m glad to see that Terminator: Salvation is on the Blu-ray horizon.
Sony has released details of their upcoming UK edition of Terminator: Salvation, hitting British shops on November 23rd. The US/Canadian edition will come to North America through Warner and MAY end up being significantly different. However, the addition of Warner’s “Maximum Movie Mode” on the Sony disc suggests the UK edition is a simple port of what we’ll be seeing over on this side of the Atlantic. But who can really tell at this point. We know from example how these multi-studio distribution deals sometimes wind up…

But will it be a director’s cut featuring the footage McG didn’t originally want to cut from the film? That’s what’ll make it a buy for me. The special features list seems pretty decent.
[...] We told you all about the UK release of Terminator: Salvation ages ago and it’s taken this long to get any info on the US/Canada version. So, here you go! Warner is about to give you another face-load of Bale on December 1st! [...]
