Genius Products will be releasing director Laurence Dunmore's gripping and powerful drama "The Libertine", which stars Johnny Depp (Charlie and the Chocoalate Factory, Pirates of the Caribbean 2 & 3), John Malkovich (Colour Me Kubrik, Being John Malkovich) and Rosamund Pike (Doom, Pride and Predjudice) onto DVD June 27th. No further news is available at this time. Stay tuned, we will bring you the latest details as soon as they arrive.

Adapted by Stephen Jeffreys from his own play, this is based on the true story of John Wilmot, the Earl of Rochester, who was a poet, courtier and notorious rake. Johnny Depp stars in "The Libertine" as the scandalously decadent John Wilmot, the second Earl of Rochester.

The film follows the Earl's adventures in London, from his passionate romance with a young actress, Elizabeth Barry (Samantha Morton), to the writing of a scurrilous play which blisteringly and bawdily lampoons the very monarch who commissioned it, Charles II (John Malkovich), leading to the Earl's banishment and eventual downfall

Same here ;D

I can't wait #excited# #excited# #excited#

[Dulcet Drifter]

Yay....already? Whoa. The movie industry has really been pushing their release dates recently haven't they? Oh well....Libertine is coming out on DVD!

[bohemian]

Yay. I can finally see it!

I never got to see it in theatres because it was only playing at one theatre by me and I got really busy with school.

[The Poetic Protégée]

Not long now.

I am hoping someone will be kind enough to buy it for me for my birthday...and that I won't have to wait too long to get the present as I'm not at home

[The Rolling Rooster]

(Did you get it!? ;D )

Play.com wouldn't ship to my house, so I have to wait for either the French or American release

But I can do it.... I think ...Barely

[The Dependable Deliverer]

I saw it today and i cried so much at the end Johnny's performance was outstanding and that alone made me cry.
I also cried at the love scene between Wilmot and Barry because i thought it was so passionate

[The Poetic Protégée]

*big sigh*

And here I am still waiting for my belated birthday present

Johnny certainly has a way of moving people, Becky. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[The Protective Horserider]

Oy, it's been a bit quiet in here, hasn't it??

So, how's the DVD? Some of you enjoying it already? I'm one of those that has to wait a bit longer for the release of the DVD. The movie came out in the cinemas in my country today, so it'll be a few months before I'll actually own the DVD.. Looking forward to it though! Can't wait to see the extra's!

[The Poetic Protégée]

I don't know whether there will be many, if any, extras...films like this rarely have any bonus material, particularly as it was not even released everywhere ( ). I could be wrong though.

Still waiting for my copy In a way it's good though, a brand new Johnny DVD would be a bit of a distraction from revision

Glad to hear it's been released in another country, PH. All good news .
