Despite an impassioned plea by AICN's Moriarty several weeks back for Harvey Weinstein to give Howard McCain's vikings vs. an alien creature feature Outlander a wide theatrical release it looks likes that plea fell on deaf ears (or should I say deaf eyes?) and the film will be getting dumped onto DVD in November.
Movies Unlimited just made Outlander available for pre-order with a November 18th street date listed for its release (pre-order it here). There's been no official DVD announcement from The Weinstein Company and I've not seen it listed on any other DVD websites, save for Amazon. Movies Unlimited is usually fairly reliable, although several months back they had DVD release listing for All the Boys Love Mandy Lane that didn't pan out.
We'll keep our eyes out for further confirmation as to whether November 18th is going to be the day you can take home the alien-viking-space monster movie starring Jesus, Hellboy, and the first victim of an alien chestburster.

Even if it got a theatrical release, it wouldn't come anywhere close to where we live. So a November release to DVD is good news to me!

Why dont all those famous stars do something about the theatrical release? Talk to people, move some strings?

It's less strenuous than pulling strings.
