I'm itching to see this film, before the inevitable inferior US remake. But the subtitle issue you discussed on the forum Chris is worrying.

Hopefully this edition will contain the accurate translation. I will wait to make sure though.

Thanks for the confirmation Chris, looking forward to getting it now. I didn't fancy learning swedish

The Danish BD I have is the Scandinavian version and that has the correct English subtitles so would hope the UK get the same.

Preferred the UK Theatrical art. Cracking film though. Will definitely pick this up.

I really need to see this. I enjoy a good vamp film.

Of course it's better than Twilight. Twilight was made for teenage girls.

Most important question: will the BD be Zone B locked?

'Cause frankly I'm tired of waiting for the second Magnolia pressing...

For a guy with the name "Lost Highway" (a Lynch fav of mine) you sure do disappoint me with your defense of Twilight, and calling LTROI "piss poor".

I've read the book, and while I admit that it goes into a lot more details than the movie does, what is shown in the movie is much more fitting for the film medium. The screenplay was even written by the book author. A lot of the more mature stuff in the book would just alienate movie goers, and wouldn't fit in the run time. The way the movie hints at them is more than enough for me.

Girls can be gay too.

Well obviously, i was merely poiting out the rather latent homphobia going on in his comment.

It's a film, they don't have to be exactly the same as the novels that inspire them. Jurassic Park has very little to do with the book, but all that chaos theory wouldn't have gone down too well in a Spielberg family flick.

Have you read the book? Imo the film was changed for the worse as it missed some fine moments out and totally screwed up the paedophile/Hakan storyline.

David Lynch is one of my fave directors but I can't actually see where i've defended Twilight in my comment!? I didn't particularly like Twilight and was not comparing it with LTROI at all - i was trying point out how offensive using the word 'gay' to mean s**t is to those of us on this site/forum who are actually gay!

As for the author writing the screenplay, that is what is so unbelieveably sad about LTROI - he has gutted his own work and for what... a disjointed mess of a movie which misses out some of the best parts of the novel and turns what was essentially a 'pulp novel' into an arthouse feature. It's c**p! As for the more mature aspects of the novel alienating moviegoers, well i'm sure they wouldn't mind a vampire/zombie hybrid in a basement!!??

I'm a HUGE fan of LTROI novel - best book I read in 2008 but i'm afraid I really can't jump on the bandwagon regarding praising the film. It was a total disappointment.
