Does anyone know which is the main country of origin on this movie?

Germany, UK or US?

Ridley Scott worked on getting this movie made for over 7 years, so I would go with his production company, 'Scott Free Productions', as the origin.

I don't have this film myself, but if the opening credits have something like:
"A (company name) production"
then it's the country of origin for that company.
If there isn't that credit, then next port of call I think would be the copyright holder in the end credits, but that may be the studio, not the production company, so be careful with that one.

Well he seems to be english, but the company seems to be in LA Oh and pretty much all of the Production companys mentioned on the cover are German companys.

Talk about seven years down the drain.
"I am Andrew Ryan and I am here to ask you a question:
Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his own brow?

No, says the man in Washington. It belongs to the poor.
No, says the man in the Vatican. It belongs to God.
No, says the man in Moscow. It belongs to everyone.

I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something
different. I chose the impossible. I chose…
Rapture."

OK, the opening says:
ApolloProMedia [Logo] then comes a screen that says: "ApolloProMedia Presents [Tristan + Isolde]" then the movie starts.

On the end credits first comes some of the crew and actors and before the endcredits start dropping, it says:
An
ApolloProMedia
-
MFF
-
Still King
-
QI
Co-production

After that it says:
A Scott Free Production

and then the rest of the end credits start dropping.

So which one you think it is? US?

Well, like I said, this was Ridley Scott's baby, and he made the movie, so I would definately go with Scott Free as the production company.  If that is US, then there's your answer.

And, despite Ross' critique, I found it to be an enjoyable movie to watch.  It's also a great "chick" movie if you have a wife or girlfriend.

Interestingly, the BFI (British Film Institute) lists four countries as involved in production!
Link here.
It also gives overall country as "United Germany".
Not saying you should change your submission (as the US is in the list too), just saying it's interesting, and the sooner we can put multiple countries the better!

Definately agree with that one, it seems to be more and more rare that a film has only 1 CoO.

I think there needs to be a field in the studio master to list that studio's coo.  When a studio is assigned to a DVD, then the coo is automatically populated withe the coos from the studios that were assigned to the movie.

The problem with that is that we also list theatrical and dvd distirubutors in the studio fields, so we'd have to have a way of letting the program know that a particular entry is a production company and so needs a CoO.

If we had dedicated production, theatrical and dvd distribution studios, this would solve the problem.  Might need more than one production studio though.  This would stop a lot of the studio ping ponging too.
