Yeah - Nikita will be cool - but why The Messenger? Even though I like it (and a lot of people don't!), it seems to me there are plenty of Besson titles that'd be better contenders - Leon for example.
Edit: I see there is a German bluray of Leon

Hello,

"the disc is coded for all regions." it means : it's region ABC ?

Indeed. But Léon has nothing to do with Sony. I am hoping we get a decent version of it soon over here though.

Actually, Leon is distributed by Sony in the US. The international rights are split between various companies, however, with, for example, Paramount owning it in Japan and Disney in the UK.

In case no one here's been following it in the forums, it seems that the German Leon comes in a steelbook and includes both cuts of the film. Sweet!

Definitely! and if there's an EU/UK release, just 'Nikita' none of this "La Femme" business ;)
Original cover art would be great too.

It's nice to see the original poster art for Nikita but why have they dropped all the DVD SE extras? :(.
