Damn lots of titles being cancelled and an uncertain future for the Indiana Jones. Zavvi chewing more than they can swallow?

Indiana Jones was delayed for studio reasons, not Zavvi reasons.

This particular steel was listed elsewhere as well (Sainsburys at least) so again, not a Zavvi problem... I think they've been great so far and here's to hoping they continue as well as they have been!

Yeah, these things tend to not be the retailer. It sucks for us but there's not a whole lot we can do.

I contacted Studiocanal regarding this release being pulled by suppliers and got this response:

Dear Iain,

The best place to keep up to date with our upcoming releases is via our website at www.studiocanal.co.uk

Hopefully just means it might resurface as an exclusive!

 

[Hussun]

Sounds promising, really hope we see some artwork soon.

The price of this on play.com through zavvi outlet has gone up to £17.99 indicating it may still be available through them? Lets hope it still does get a release in the uk!

Here's what Wreck had to say:

There is still hope for Place Beyond the Pines and Evil Dead for the UK ..... Hopefully I can post the full good news later. fyi

 

[BluSteel2012]

I am wondering if this will be a repeat of Sony's Django Unchained? With the UK getting an embossed version compared with Futureshops and Targets releases??

 

[Hussun]

Yeah, that would be great, I highly doubt it though.

Looks like it could be the other way round then. Sony could have the embossed version.

I don't think Studio Canal has embossed any of it's releases yet??

This is back for pre-order via Zavvi Outlet on Play for £17.99.

When it was on for 16.99 last week it translated to 24.99euro, however, now the 17.99 are 22.99euro, so the price actually went down for these outside the UK.
