Riddick: Warrior of Dark.

That was backwards-translated, wasn't it?
It's of course THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK: DARK FURY.

Too bad such a big book (I thought it was just a booklet) is going to be in German.

Maybe Arrow will give us a deluxe edition at some stage?

I think Arrow's ship has sailed...

 

[Lollard2002]

I think Arrow's ship has sailed...

Maybe not. Nothing to stop them doing a deluxe edition with the sequels in blu-ray as part of the set with the main feature in 4k The way kino did In the Heat of the Night in 4k with the follow ups in blu-ray

If Arrow is able to get the UK rights to "Riddick" (2013) from EOne Entertainment.

True, but it is german release afterall and this was kinda expected.

Right, but I wonder how big a part of their print run is purchased outside of country, or by non-German speaking, and if it would be viable for them to make an English version of the book too - after all they are creating two sets anyway, or do like Koreans and Chinese, with both languages in one

I have no idea who owns what for rights.

 

[TheHutt]

Well, Universal owns the first two worldwide. The third, Universal owns it in the States and a bunch of local indie distributors have the rights in different countries.

I guess, this is both a pragmatical and a rational solution:
- German buyers seem to be the main focus group for this release: making the Director's Cut available for the first time with a complete German dub, subtitling all the extra features... after all, potential English-speaking buyers are probably already served well enough with the Arrow edition.
- Printing a 180 page book is already challenging. Translating, laying out and printing a 360 page book, however, might be not economically feasible, given that potential English-speaking buyer base may be limited anyway because of Arrow, see above.

There used to be a way to enable a mouse cursor on Android, but they've dumbed it down following Apple.
