Will it be esclusive ?

I've just checked the others I have; 300, V for Vendetta, Amadeus and The Goonies.

Every single one of them has what I have to believe is the North American version of the disc inside. I've just emailed Warner Japan to see what the deal is with replacement discs as I have had a brief look around online and haven't seen any word of this issue yet.
Of course, it probably doesn't affect the majority of you, but my wife and her sister will be pissed if there is no Japanese!

Did you set your player's default menu / language to Japanese?

Most of the Warner Blu-rays have hidden Japanese audio / subtitles streams and will be visible only when player's default language is set to Japanese.

Are you serious? Can you please tell me the subtitles on Amadeus? Please?

Wow! That's crazy, but you are right. I have never seen that before. I took the disc upstairs to our Japanese player and it kicked right up in Japanese with a completely different menu that only offers Japanese and English as listed on the jcard.

So, if you pop it into a non-Japanese player, it seems you will get many more audio and subtitle options than actually listed.

Not every disc was the same, but the majority had audio and/or subs for English, German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese, Korean and some had more.
At least that mystery is solved and it should make purchasing some JP titles easier to swallow for some that thought they didn't have those audio options!

That's explained why all the series are still available in store. LOL
Saw them on display on the shelves over at BIC Camera Shinjuku, none of them attracted me except this title.

Just got this from Amazon.jp. Showed up in perfect shape...surprisingly because it was sent internationally in one of those sticky on the inside cardboard envelopes.

I hate this film. Had it been the 1973 film I would have purchased but i think this Tim Burton one is dire.

Rec'd mine today as well. It came in a mailer as well.

Love the original, but yo can't watch this as a comparison. You have to go into it knowing and expecting a Burton film. If you do this it is a great film.

I love them both for different reasons. The Willy Wonka 1971 version will always be my favorite but Burton's version is a damn fun flick.

 

[Lollard2002]

I tend to find Burtons films like marmite. You either like them or loathe them. Some films he's done I love. Others total crap. To me he's one of those directors he either makes a great film or a crap film. No half way house with me

 

[jayce20]

loved Big Fish but hated Beetlejuice and of course "Planet of the Apes"

 

[Geek Tragedy]

Beetlejuice? Beetlejuice?!? Beetlejuice??? How could anyone hate Beetlejuice?

Bring on the Mars Attacks and Ed Wood Steelbooks!!!
