Today ‘Outlander‘ is released on DVD in the US! Be sure to order if you haven’t yet to see Sophia Myles in action as Viking warrior princess Freya & the – to be expected – fabulous DVD extras! The DVD should also be availble for rent at Blockbuster.

According to the Outlander fansite it is as of yet unclear when the movie will be released on BluRay in the US. However, it’s stil scheduled to be released on DVD & BluRay May 26th in Canada. A free DVD can be won on a contest over at EyeWeekly.com

Following ‘Outlander‘ on Twitter certainly brings us fabulous information. There’s another opportunity to win a VIP screening here and it leads us to an interesting and totally new over 16 minute long Making Of. The Outlander fansite has word that it will eventually turn up on the Region 2 DVD but isn’t on the recently released French DVD/Blu Ray or the upcoming Region 1 DVD/Blu Ray. It also has some nice moments of Sophia Myles so be sure to watch!

Someone uploaded a hiliarious imitation of the UK Trailer to YouTube. It’s a shot by shot re-make with action figures such as He-Man, Thundercats, Star Wars and more. Definitely a must see!

Outtakes from reviews (added to the Outlander page):

But it’s Sophia Myles who steals the show, her performance as beautiful but ballsy Viking girl Freya giving the boys a run for their money in the action stakes.

John Hurt is excellent as the watchfully wise king, as are Sophia Myles as his feisty daughter and the other-worldly James Caviezel.

Finally! ‘Outlander‘ is released in cinemas throughout Sophia’s homecountry this coming Friday, April 24!

SciFi.co.uk has a competition to win a VIP private ‘Outlander’ screening for you & your mates. To participate you have to be a UK resident, register at their website and give the correct answer to this question “What do you call a monster with one eye?” before the end of April 25. Good luck!

Also on SciFi.co.uk you can shorten the wait till Friday by watching their exclusive ‘Outlander‘ clip of the movie’s beginning.

I’ve come across some new reviews. Apparently Jonathan Ross spoke favourably about the movie in his show and The Mirror singled out Sophia Myles for praise in their short and lukewarm review: “but it moves at a fair old pace and features a great performance by Sophia Myles as a Viking princess.”

As always I’m extremely grateful for anything you UK fans might come across. Thanks for keeping your eyes open!

Oh, and Sophia’s ‘Doctor Who‘ episode “Girl in the Fireplace” re-airs tonight on BBC3 at 7pm.

Amo informed me that SeeFilmFirst and “Glamour” magazine are giving away free tickets to see Tristan and Isolde on the 19th April in various ODEON cinemas across the UK. Go here and enter the code: 13877. Thanks for the heads up!

He also sent me a link to MSN where – in a feature about the big names of tomorrow who are making a splash right now – they feature Sophia Myles in the category ‘The Actress’.

“Starring in the Thunderbirds movie as Miss Penelope may have brought our attention to the talents of British actress Sophia Myles, but it will be the romantic Tristan & Isolde (with Rufus Sewell) and that naked scene in the upcoming Art School Confidential (with John Malkovich and Angelica Houston) that will bring her leading lady status. The 25-year-old blonde bombshell, born and raised in Notting Hill, was discovered by Oscar-winning screenwriter Julian Fellowes in a school play and was immediately cast in the BBC’s version of The Prince and the Pauper, aged just 16. Despite being on the brink of Hollywood superstardom, Myles is as down-to-earth as they come – she won’t consider moving to LA full-time and respects actresses like Reese Witherspoon who manage to keep their private life private. With fame around the corner and a relationship with Dr. Who star David Tennant going strong; this is one actress who appears to have it all ahead of her.”

The website Shakefire.Com is organising free screenings of ‘Tristan & Isolde’. Visit their website for more information. Screening Date: January 10, 2006. Screening locations: Atlanta, GA; Charlotte, NC; Raleigh, NC; Greenville, SC.

I have slightly re-organized the gallery. There’s no longer a section with photo shoots. The outtakes are now in the Magazines section. Feel free to browse through. There’s also one or two sets that are new.

Are you living in the UK?? Then here’s your chance to win a ticket to the ‘Thunderbirds’ glitzy premiere on July 18 (that’s Sunday in a week) at the Empire Leicester Square. Click this link and enter the competition. It ends on July 14, next Wednesday. If you win, you might get the chance to actually meet Sophia!!!

And there are pictures of a photoshoot with Sophia Myles in the August issue of the British InStyle. Be sure to check them out! (I don’t know if the issue is already on the newsstands, though)
