Someone mentioned this film on here a while ago and having read around it a little I ended up buying it from amazon.com.

Its finally arrived today, but rather oddly, it is now listed as a pre-order on Amazon, with a release date of Dec 18th. I take it this has something to do with Vanilla Sky (the remake with Tom Cruise) being in US cinemas soon?

Does removing a film from your catalogue and puting an artificial release date on it generate that much extra interest? Or has this film been released in an updated format to coincide with the movie release?

The reason I double checked it on amazon was that the packaging was different from what I half remembered and the DVD Title is Open Your Eyes (abre los ojos). The one I've had delivered looks to be the same as the one shown for preorder.

Thoughts?

Artisan are reducing the list price from $19.95 to $14.95 on 18th December. Amazon always treat price reductions in the same way as new releases, hence the pre-order listing.

I got mine from ********* a few weeks ago for £11.99. It's one of the best films I've seen this year.
