Warner previously said they'd also release it on HD-DVD and Blu Ray. I hope they follow through on that.

I haven't seen this since it's original theatrical release... I still remember what they had on the reader board outside the Guild 45th (theater in Seattle): EVERYONE DIES.

i don't really like kenneth branagh, and this staging sounds absurd even by branagh standards. but it'd be interesting to see the full text of hamlet performed, and i always thought it was weird that there was no dvd

edit: i saw the mel gibson one on tv not long ago, and while it's idiotic in various ways, mel gibson's performance is...actually pretty good. i wish i could say the same for helena bonham carter's repulsive ophelia

He did the best theatrical Hamlet, even if you dont like the rest of his work.

i like the laurence olivier one, though it uses a really short text. and does this weird MENTAL VOICE thing with the soliloquies. and helped standardize freud's reading of hamlet's relationship to his mother. wait, maybe i don't like the laurence olivier one

speaking of freud, i think the mel gibson one actually has mel straddling glen close in bed, THRUSTING as he delivers his various anathemas. good god

Brannagh as hamlet was an actor doing hamlet, or at least felt like it.  I was always aware of it, and its fine and theatrical.

Gibson felt like the character or persona of Hamlet and I have to say I prefer that.
