Apologies if this has been asked before: Is there going to be a region 2 DVD release, so that English players can view the film?
I'd like to see it regardless.

I doubt it.
Why not just get a multiregion player, or hack your existing one?

I might get a better player and make it a multi-region one.
I wouldn't know how to hack my current one. Does anyone have advice? I'll have a look on-line for information.

There are sites devoted to hacking DVD players, but I don’t know them, others elsewhere on this board do. Just type something like ‘[model name & number] dvd hack’ into google and it’ll throw up a load of references. Most players can be hacked (it usually involves having to key in a sequence of characters into the remote and doing something else), but a few must have some kind of chip or something installed/removed/modified. If the latter, you’re screwed – cheaper to buy a bog-standard multiregion jobby.
Oh yeah, another thing – someone’ll probably issue dire warnings about whether your TV can display NTSC pictures, but frankly unless it runs on valves, chances are it can (being serious, if it uses a scart input, it should be modern enough to cope with NTSC).

be carefull when hacking your dvd drive, this usually involves a software hack, some require a hardware hack also. if you wish to use your PC to watch the film them you may wanna try a piece of software called: AnyDvd you can get it free from here: www.slysoft.com/en/anydvd.htmlHTH
