In the last week there have been a few new additions to Amazon.co.uk's pre-order list of Blu-rays, as well as some titles that have had their release dates moved.
New pre-orders:
Generation Kill - July 5, 2010
(This series is already available as a region-free US release. Check it out here)
Baghdad, Iraq 2009. Mission: Unclear. Enemy: Unidentified. Duration of Tour: Unknown. It was impossible for the Marines of the First Recon Battalion to anticipate what would occur during those first 40 days of the Iraq war as they found themselves struggling with Shoddy supplies, frustrated by the chain of command and questioning the mission at every turn. Fused with camaraderie, faith and fury, Generation Kill brings you the gritty, raw and brutally honest insider's look at what has become of our contemporary American War. Based on Evan Wright's best-selling book, and produced by David Simon and Ed Burns, two of the men who brought you the critically heralded HBO series The Wire, Generation Kill is now an equally acclaimed seven-part miniseries event from HBO Films.
Nickelback - Live at Sturgis 2006 - July 12, 2010
(This concert is already available as a region-free US release. Check it out here)
Nickelback perform to a sold-out crowd of 35,000 adoring fans at the Sturgis Rockin' the Rally show in South Dakota. Among the 12 hard-rockin' tracks that make up the setlist are 'Someday', 'Woke up This Morning', and their massive breakthrough hit, 'How You Remind Me'.
Green Zone - July 12, 2010
Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, United 93) re-team for their latest electrifying thriller in Green Zone, a film set in the chaotic early days of the Iraqi War when no one could be trusted and every decision could detonate unforeseen consequences. During the U.S.-led occupation of Baghdad in 2003, Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller (Damon) and his team of Army inspectors were dispatched to find weapons of mass destruction believed to be stockpiled in the Iraqi desert. Rocketing from one booby-trapped and treacherous site to the next, the men search for deadly chemical agents but stumble instead upon an elaborate cover-up that inverts the purpose of their mission. Spun by operatives with intersecting agendas, Miller must hunt through covert and faulty intelligence hidden on foreign soil for answers that will either clear a rogue regime or escalate a war in an unstable region. And at this blistering time and in this combustible place, he will find the most elusive weapon of all is the truth.
Entourage - The Complete Sixth Season - September 6, 2010
For Vince, Eric, Drama and Turtle, life in Hollywood’s fast lane can be an intoxicating roller-coaster of a ride. After hitting some speed bumps the last couple of years, Vince's career is in high gear after his role in a new Martin Scorsese film. But now that Vince is back on top, is it finally time for the entourage to step out of his shadow?
Hung - The Complete First Season - September 13, 2010
At first glance, Ray Drecker (Thomas Jane, The Punisher) seems like an ordinary divorced dad who’s trying to make ends meet. But Ray’s got one extraordinary, God-given gift. Call it his "winning tool" that sets him apart from other underpaid high-school teachers. With a little help from an unlikely business ally named Tanya (Jane Adams, Happiness), Ray is about to hatch an inspired plan to ride his winning tool all the way to a more productive, debt-free life.
Fringe - Season 2 - September 27, 2010
(This release will also be available packaged with Season 1. Check it out here)
Teleportation. Mind control. Invisibility. Astral projection. Mutation. Reanimation. Phenomena that exist on the fringe of science unleash their strange powers in this thrilling series, co-created by J.J. Abrams (LOST, ALIAS), combining the grit of the police procedural with the excitement of the unknown. The story revolves around three unlikely colleagues - a beautiful young FBI agent, a brilliant scientist who's spent the last 17 years in a mental institution and the scientist's sardonic son - who investigate a series of bizarre deaths and disasters known as 'the pattern'. Someone is using our world as an experimental lab, and all clues lead to Massive Dynamic, a shadowy global corporation that may be more powerful than any nation. This release contains every episode from the show's second series.
Changed release dates:
Chris Ryan's Strike Back - Changed from June 14 to June 7.
Vengeance - Changed from May 31 to June 28.
Leap Year - Changed from June 28 to July 12.
All dates are subject to change, but we will keep you posted.
