Only 3 MONTHS after the UK Fox release:

The USA release looks to have "A director introduction" over the UK extras. That's hardly a reason to delay it by 3 months. Sure subtitles/dubs are likely to be different but the Film Master is likely to be re-used.

Will blind buy. Never seen it.
Yes! With Minority Report recently released, Road To Perdition is the last of my 2002 favorites to go Hi-Def. Now it's time for 2003 to catch up... I'm looking at you Lost in Translation. >_>

If the UK release is the same as the Dutch release (and it undoubtly is, because it's from the same company) the disc includes the director's introduction.

Nice, this is number three on my most wanted Blu-Ray list.

That's odd. Choosing Jude Law over the new Bond Daniel Craig for the cover.
Definitely a must see gangster flick.

Jude Law is one of the 3 main characters. Of course they're going to put him on there.

Daniel Craig's character is much more of an important character than he is. Though it would make more sense to have the kid in the middle Hanks on his right and Newman on the left. But to be honest, this coverart is so generic. Could they have not gone with the awesome posterart with Hanks in the rain with his son while clouded with shadows? The floating heads on this are just plain out generic.

Decent art work.
Awesome.
Paul Newman was simply great in the movie. This movie (along with his voiceover performance as Doc Hudson in Cars) was his swan song. Day one Blu-ray buy for me!
