When Warner Home Video announced the release on Blu-ray of the recent BBC production of William Shakespeare's
Hamlet (see blu-ray.com,
February 16), we lamented that the full-text 1996 version starring and directed by Kenneth Branagh wasn't coming out on Blu-ray. Now it seems that WHV has addressed those concerns, as Branagh's
Hamlet has just gone up for preorder, complete with rather official-looking cover art.
No release date or disc details are available at the moment, other than it will be a DigiBook, and that it will apparently consist of only one disc, despite the four-hour running length of the film.
