As part of its 100th Anniversary this year, Universal Studios Home Entertainment will offer special re-issues of selected catalog titles, and the Harvey Blu-ray will arrive in the March wave. Director Henry Koster's screen adaptation of the Mary Chase stageplay stars James Stewart (It's a Wonderful Life) as Elwood P. Dowd, a charming, well-liked member of his smalltown community...who also claims to pal around with a six-foot-tall rabbit.

Fearing social ostracization, Elwood's sister (Josephine Hull, Arsenic and Old Lace) tries to have her brother committed to a mental institution in order to "fix" his delusion, thus setting off a gently comic chain of events wherein Elwood and "Harvey" help teach those around them a valuable lesson about tolerance and the power of imagination.

Does anyone know the deal with Zodiac? Why is it out of print? Any news of a reissue?



One of the most intense scenes ever. :lecture

It is OOP, i don't know why. The same goes for Hot Rod, Disturbia and a few other movies. You might get lucky and find them in a store somewhere. But the UK version of Zodiac is Region Free and cheap.

Yeah, it's such a great movie. It doesn't make sense why it'd be OOP. I guess I'll have to look around.

If you're interested Play.com have it for £7.99 & HMV for £7.50

Thanks! I'll let you know. I'd really like to get my hands on the 2 disc edition.

Amazon.co.uk has it for £7.49 as well. The UK release has all the special features the US version has, just on one disc instead of two. And i just checked the special features and they seem to be in HD as well.

But i checked Blu-Ray.com and it looks like people are able to find it at Blockbuster for about $10. And a way to check if there's any available near you:

Step 1: go to https://www.google.com
Step 2: type in zodiac blu - ray.
Step 3 in the results you may find one that says stores close to you
Step 4 if it does say stores close to you click on it and it will tell you which one.

It's not very obvious. The easier way to do it is to go to google.com/shopping. Type in what you're looking for. When it comes up, it may have a "Nearby" option if it finds it anywhere. Mine shows two in my area.
