It’s finally make its way to the US on August 2nd, on Fox Reality Channel. But you can catch a special, one-night only, HD movie theater cut on July 31st in theaters all over the US. I’m sure it’ll be breath-taking (and not just for the Wantons who drool over Ewan).
Thanks to Trace for the heads up!
