Momentum released Total Recall in the UK, Optimum released La Haine (they get the rights to movies such as Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke over here), BBC are releasing Planet Earth (not Warner Bros in the UK). They both have several other titles out as well.
There are quite a few other companies starting to dip their feet into HD (on the whole) too including Bandai Visual who support both formats, Magnolia, First Look and Rhino all have HD DVD releases out next week in the US. Big River dip their toes into HD in August and Koch Distributing join HD in September.
Their presence may not be as well felt as the "major" studios. But alot of their output is often far better, and so for many people far more valuable to formats.
