Our good friends at Optimum have announced that they will be releasing Whiteout on blu-ray in the UK. The release date is scheduled for 25th January 2010.

Antarctica. The most isolated landmass on earth. Six million square miles of ice. Six months of darkness. Temperatures at minus 120 degrees and winds at 100 miles per hour. For U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko, (Kate Beckinsale, Underworld, Van Helsing, The Aviator) things are about to get even more dangerous. During the last 3 days of her assignment, as the complete closure of the base for Winter approaches, she is sent to investigate a body on the ice. Antarctica’s first ever murder. A shocking discovery in itself, it will plunge her into an even more bizarre mystery and the revelation of secrets long-buried under the endless ice…secrets that someone believes are still worth killing for. As Stetko races to find the killer before he finds her, winter is already closing in. In the deadly Antarctic whiteout, she won’t see him till he’s a breath away.
