I highly doubt StudioCanal has the rights to various American films for distribution in the U.K. The Hollywood studios tend to hold onto their U.K. rights and parcel flicks out for "foreign" distribution in various non-English speaking places.
But I guess with StudioCanal being an HD-DVD supporter, *Blueberry* won't be released on Blu-Ray for now. I think I can live without that, although *Brotherhood of the Wolf* would seriously rock in HD (Monica Bellucci in HD, yes!). Although it would be nice to see HD masters of the old non-canon "Dr. Who" films that Peter Cushing starred in that were shot in 35mm Technicol(u)r goodness back in the 60s. They looked incredible on vanilla DVD. And I do believe it is StudioCanal that holds the rights to them currently.
