Subject: 	Finally! Branagh's Hamlet is on its way!

Hot off the newswires 2 hours ago, here's what we know:

The release date for Branagh's Hamlet will be August 14 (yes, 2007!)

It will be a 2-disc special edition, at $26.95 US dollars ($33.95 
Canadian).  This is for the standard version DVD.  Details on the blu-ray 
and hd editions to follow.

To prebook HAMLET, follow this link:

We are going to try to get a discount on this title.  If you prebook and 
we are able to negotiate a better price, you will pay the lower price.

At the same time, Warner will be releasing the following at $19.95 USD 
($24.95 Canadian):

Othello (Laurence Olivier 
http://www.bardcentral.com/product_info.php?products_id=1990)
Romeo and Juliet (George Cukor 
http://www.bardcentral.com/product_info.php?products_id=1991)
Midsummer Night's Dream (Max Reinhardt 
http://www.bardcentral.com/product_info.php?products_id=1989)

AND

All four titles in a box set at $59.95 US dollars ($74.95 Canadian):

Shakespeare Collection: 
http://www.bardcentral.com/product_info.php?products_id=1992
Be careful not to confuse this with several other box sets called 
"Shakespeare Collection."  It's a popular name.

At this time, title details on our website are sketchy - we just put in 
enough so you can prebook.  We're inputting data as quickly as we can. 
Further details will be forthcoming as we receive them.
