I have been reading through the posts about this film with great interest, And like many of you, I am really looking forward to seeing the film at the end of April.
But.....................Know one in the UK seems to know anything about it.
Is it coming to the UK and should the release date been the end of April like in the US?
Thanks for your help.

As you have probably read in these forums, there is a lot of controversy surrounding this movie with many passionate people in both camps.
If I was you, I would just sit back and wait. It doesn't even look likely that those of in the USA will see it, let alone the UK! Sadly, it has basically got to the point where we seem to have moved our focus to the DVD release rather than an actual theatrical release and even that is not certain.
Nothing of substance mentioned in the press or online can really be relied upon which of course is what triggers a lot of the upset in the first place.

[glow=purple,2,300]Hi, Mist, and welcome to the forum.
Your question is a bit of a sore point at the moment. Pendragon announced a Worldwide release, and so we assumed the UK would be included.
HOWEVER, although Paramount acknowledged Pendragons right to make the film, Paramount hold the rights to distribute WOTW worldwide.
Pendragon believe they got round this by calling it H.G.Wells's WOTW - the first authentic adaptation. However, it looks like Paramount have the rights sewn up tight, and so Pendragon cannot distribute in Europe.
The current belief is that Pendragon will have a small theatrical release, probably in Seattle, and perhaps a couple of other places. But that will most likely be it.
For us UK bods, if we want to see it, we will have to import the DVD, and watch in on a region free/region 1 DVD player.
At least, that is our current understanding of the release! [/glow]

I can't really add much that hasn't already been posted. Like the rest of the world, we are in the dark (still) over the outcome of the film. Even with the latest press release, it raises more questions than it does to answer them.
Judging by the latest press release, any 'new' information from the Pendragon camp will now doubtly be released at the very moment somethings going to happen. Frustrating I know but what else can we do.
It's a case of 'when we know, you'll know' to coin a phrase.
