Great news about the release of the trilogy in all these countries but unfortunately I won't be able to live the theatrical experience cuz I live in a freaking Arab country :sad:

Glad to hear that its being released for a nice chunk of the world to experience. I'm happy for Australian fans because they always get the shaft in things like this.

I dont think they actually stated for Theatrical releases in those countries. I would hope so though.

SuperVegetto · April 10, 2012

Lol if they also made a theatrical release on those 16 countries it would make so much money you wouldn't even have to worry about the CG anymore. But they're not going to

JezzaX · April 10, 2012

Yet again with the foreshadowing. SK on the first film poster?

Remember how much it made in Japan, the country in which it's best known by far?

That's not even foreshadowing anymore at this point; it's downright misleading. The second poster makes it look like SK is the big villain, looming over the characters. It's a bit ridiculous.

IncantatioN · April 10, 2012

Yeah that's bothering me too, I was under the impression SK was not in the first movie. Also, the color of Guts' cloak is different on both posters. And Zodd attacking those soldiers like that, horsemen too ...?

Yeah but a little from every country would still make quite a decent amount.

Agreed, not to mention the odd placement of the beherit. This seems like one of those cheap knock off posters from the kind of people who do those random packages for Batman figures with a completely senseless story about the character written on the back.

It costs thousands of dollars to release a film in theaters. People more well versed in the pros/cons of this have almost certainly already done a cost analysis. And I'd say the odds aren't high that we'll get a major release, given its performance in Japan. We'll see.

I'm not saying we're getting it either, just that It could improve the budget for the rest of the project.

And I'm saying that if they did invest in a theater wide release, and they didn't break even, it could also damage the project.

JezzaX · April 10, 2012

As much as I would love to see a proper theatre release for Berserk, it would be realistic to assume it's not going to happen, especially after the performance in Japan. A limited release on some niche theatres? maybe, but I wouldn't expect a budget to be used for national releases.

Jaze1618 · April 10, 2012

OMG I do not like these terrible mashup posters.

Unless it doesn't make up for the localisation and exploitation costs in each country. I'm pretty sure Warner Bros has thought it through.

hellrasinbrasin · April 10, 2012

At this point all that matters is that the films are being released here in the US starting in the Fall.

Dragonfly · April 12, 2012

Man those posters really suck! Why would Skull Knight be in there? and why would the Behelit be surrounded by thorn vine? It looks like as if Griffith is summoning it :iva:

I prefer the Japanese poster/cover more even though it has some misinterpretations too.
On a side note. The BD & DVD of the first movie are coming out NEXT MONTH!! Who's excited?!?

JezzaX · April 12, 2012

I couldn't see this mentioned on these forums, but I apologise if it's been discussed already. Kaze has stated they will be dealing with distribution in the UK:

They have also stated they would like to do a theatrical release:

For those of us in the UK, this is fantastic news.

Some news for russians,got this in email from reanimedia

Кинопремьера фильма «Берсерк» состоится 26 апреля в кинотеатре «35мм» в Москве (субтитры).

Также фильм будет показан 29 апреля в Воронеже (к/т «Спартак») в рамках кинопрограммы Всероссийского фестиваля японской анимации.

So basically in April 26(!? already) there will be premiere in cinema,in moscow with subtitles,then in 29,it will be shown on some con,also there were more dates and locations in russia.They really are stepping up their game.

Wow, that's a pretty quick turn around time, before the Japanese Blu Ray release! :isidro:

Yeah they really aren't wasting any time ^,hope it will be like that with other countries too.

SaiyajinNoOuji · April 12, 2012

Haha... SK isnt even shown or mentioned in the first movie... So misleading is putting it mildly.

voodoo_sh · April 12, 2012

But why he should be mentioned in the 1st film ? That was not the time for him yet! :SK:
