I'm sure everyone is aware by now of the problems with the Fox 4K disc but if not ... could also conceivably be the reason for the delay till Jan 2019 ...
From Fox, Europe (mid November):-
"Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I apologise for the inconvenience this has caused . We are aware that Braveheart 4K UHD has compatibility issues with some players, as such we would like to offer you a replacement disc that will be compatible on all players. We are expecting to have these discs ready to ship out within the next few weeks.
Please email to us your full name, address and proof of purchase to Europe Customer Care [
[email protected]] and we will organise for your replacement as soon as we have the discs available.
Once again I apologise and I hope you continue to enjoy 20th Century Fox products.
Kind Regards
FOX "
... and this from the Czech distributor (ditto):-
"Good afternoon, as some of you may know with UHD's title of Braveheart technical complications have occurred and UHD discs can not be played on specific brands of dedicated players.
After a few days we've managed to identify the issue and it's about authoring a disc that originated in the United States.
Current discs contain a bug that prevents the movie from running on Sony, LG and OPPO brands. Conversely, Samsung, Panasonic, and Xbox do not report problems at the moment.
At present the 20th Century Fox studio with Technicolor is working to quickly repair and produce new and flawless UHDs.
We ask the merchants who got this title and sell it to inform their customers about this issue in advance. Currently the next expedition has been suspended until new drives are available.
New products should arrive at the beginning of December. We do our best to keep the title on the Christmas market.
Thank you for your understanding and your tolerance in solving this unquestionably very unpleasant issues.
Regards,
The BF team"
