Whee! Immortel Releases on DVD October 27th!
Huzzah! The second most impressive sci-fi trailer of the year - well, maybe third. Sky Captain's hard to ignore - belongs to France's Immortel, a visually stunning story of ancient Egyptian gods looking to procreate towards the end of the 21st century. Word on the street is that the story line's a bit muddled and the CG is a little bit inconsistent, but just check the trailers - here and here - and the extended clips - here - to have your mind blown. There's no word on a North American release yet, but the French DVD is due for release on October 27th and will reportedly include a full english language track. Look! Here it is!
I know what you're asking yourself now. If Immortel and Sky Captain are duking it out for number two in the visuals department, what's number one? Casshern. Mmm. Trailer. That one's out on DVD in Japan on October 23rd. And look! Here it is, too!

Hey, welcome to your new home! I was sorry to read things didn't work out for you at The Movie Blog, but I'm thrilled you're still online and posting the good stuff. Most of the stuff I linked to was yours, so I'll start sending my meager amounts of traffic your way. :-)

if all your posts are this wicked, no more movie blog for me!
» Posted by miles at September 7, 2004 01:04 PM
Ditto to what my good friend Jim just said.
And, contrary to what miles said, I'll now just have to split time between The Movie Blog and Twitch :-)

Heeeeeeey Bubba! Welcome to your new home. You've already made how many posts? Haha.
Anyway, site looks great. Keep up the good work.
Oh, and keeping on topic, Immortel looks kick ass. Why do the French get it first?

Aww ... I'm feeling all warm and tingly inside now ...
As for the French getting it first, it may have something to do with them making it. Just a hunch.

Pfft. Technicality
» Posted by Jonstafa at September 7, 2004 02:15 PM
ok : so can we order from amazon.fr if we have .com or .co.uk accounts?... think so... oh, and this is released exactly the same day as "casshern" ... cool.
» Posted by logboy at September 7, 2004 02:42 PM
They release four days apart, and yeah ... Amazon France will recognize your other account info. Just log in like you would on any of the other sites. Kind of handy, that ...
» Posted by Twitch at September 7, 2004 02:50 PM
oh god, is this one of those trailers that's better than the movies? bc casshern wins that category!
» Posted by deeplydubbed at September 7, 2004 07:21 PM
Quite possible. Reviews were a bit mixed. I'll let people know once my copy arrives ...
» Posted by Todd at September 7, 2004 07:44 PM
Nary a day ago, I was hoping someone would have information on Immortel. Your new site is blowing the left side of my brain AND the right.
» Posted by David at September 8, 2004 01:04 AM
taken the plunge : ordered it. and i thought september was a busy month for dvds... you should see my preorders list for october...! and i aint finished ordering yet...! anyhow : getting this from amazon.fr (first time ive used a foreign amazon site) and the total including shipping is £21 if anyone else in the UK is thinking of getting this. it may be heavy on production values (like casshern / steamboy / GITS 2 etc...) and mixed in reviews but gotta keep trying something different... cool.
