DVD NEWS

I've added the press release for the DVD release of the well-received Sci-Fi Channel series Eureka, (which, for some reason, seems to have been re-titled A Town Called Eureka for the UK), to the Incoming database.

Other titles added to the Incoming database this week include Oliver Assayas' twisted cult hit Irma Vep; the first sighting of blockbuster I Am Legend; the sixth season of Curb Your Enthusiasm; and the long-overdue South Park - Season 6.

Robert Zemeckis' animated blockbuster Beowulf will be released on March the 13th, in no less than four different versions. There's a DVD of the 12-certificate Original Theatrical Version; a two-disc DVD set of the 18-certificate Director's Cut; and HD DVD and Blu-ray versions of the Director's Cut.
