• King Rat/Force Ten From Navarone.

I was browsing through the latest issue of Empire. Sony will be releasing King Rat and an extended version of Force Ten From Navarone on Aug. 8. Any word when Sony will be releasing these Region 1?

They're both out here and have been for some time (just flipped through my archives and found the reviews).

FORCE 10 was released by MGM in 2000 with the extended "international" cut on one side (widescreen; opens with the Columbia logo in fact) and the US version on the other (full-screen):

KING RAT was issued back in 2003 by Sony.

Sounds like they're just making their way over to that side of the Atlantic!

The irony being that the cut of Force 10 isn't extended at all for the UK - it's the uncut version that Columbia released there in the first place!
