They've made the snow a LOT bigger on the new one, looks more like sleet on the other one.

I like it, But the discs could come in a paper bag & i'll still be happy

 

[Grapey]

I know the spine is on the same side on both of the artworks but if this is double sided, like Demons 1& 2, then I'm guessing one side will be the original artwork and one side the new?

Images come directly from Arrow's Facebook page...

Another one Ive got coming from HMV fingers crossed

So both movies on one disk?

 

[Sigill]

Thanks for the pic Noodles, looks good! I thought this would be a 2 disc set though. It seems strange that they put both films on one disc.

Initially, Arrow listed both movies on 2 blu-rays, but they revert back to 1. According to Arrow, the bit rate calculations they ran have actually managed to fit on one BD50, and they compared their release and others, such as Criterion’s SAMURAI TRILOGY, so that much content on one BD works really well and their tests have borne this out. They say the presentation of both LADY SNOWBLOOD films will be great.

I´m kinda burned with Arrow as their releases are usually inferior when compared to others, one drastic example is their release of Tenebre when compared to the French. I dare to say that every of their releases is good, when the same movie is released in another part of the world, it easily surpasses the Arrow conversion.

I think it´s still a bummer not to have a dual viewing option on a steelbook that costs about 5£ more than dual format version.

SPECIAL FEATURES:
- Slicing Through the Snow (interview with Jasper Sharp)
- Original theatrical trailers
- Collector’s booklet ‘The Crimson Kimono’

Are the movies any good?

Are the movies any good?

Not seen them myself but it's the film that influenced Tarantino for Kill Bill so it should be decent! Anyone had the shipping notice yet?

 

[Frasr]

Anyone had the shipping notice yet?

nope, but I ordered from Amazon so I expect they'll post it on the release date like jaws

HMV shipped mine on Thursday. Knowing TNT it'll be here around November.

 

[JAMESTALKALOT]

I have had this on order since it went up for pre-order at amazon. On Friday I got an email saying there was a problem with my card (other orders shipped without a problem before and after)

So it's Monday and it's not even started shipping yet. On Amazon it's out of stock

Anyway. I cancelled my order and picked it up from HMV. It's £18 in store. (so I lost out on 1p )

Just had one turn up in a jiffy bag thankfully undamaged with no help from HMV!!
