Spoiler

- The steelbook illustration is by Krzysztof Domaradzki.
- The artwork for the slipbox was used previously for the Oldboy vinyl LP. It was co-ordinated by Nicolas Winding Refn, the director of Drive, and illustrated by Laurent Durieux. The director of Oldboy Park Chan-wook wanted one of our editions to feature this artwork so we reached out to Milan Records and illustrator Laurent Durieux. You'll be able to see more of the artwork since parts of the top and bottom were cropped out for the vinyl LP.

NEWS FLASH
Sources close to PA report Old Boy is,... old...., and may not live much longer.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all at Plain Archive and Old Boy's family and friends //

"Old Days' at Jeonju International Film Festival

 

[junho0914]

"Old Days" was really well received in JIFF. Nice work.
Special features (include "Old Days") will be contained over 3 hours 30 minutes long, and sounds like pre-order will be opened in June but I'm not sure.

 

[junho0914]

What a good news. According to this article(*Korean; you might need a translator for it), PA's Oldboy will be released in late July.
and If it's right, pre-order will definitely be available in June.
Plus, around fifty stills (selected and commentary on by director Park!) will be included in this steelbook. (maybe it's in the booklet?)

This time we should prey for it, "please do not postpone this "

Can't wait to see what they do with this, the master looks so elegant so I'm intriugued what this will look like with the same artist involved

Can't wait for fox catcher too

 

[junho0914]

New article is up. (*Korean)

tl;dr
1. Director Park is highly interested in making Blu-ray.
2. 50 stills selected by Park will be compiled into a hardcover still-book.(book of film stills )
3. Two versions are planned for release. First one (which is coming in June) is just a normal one, and latter in July, will be the 'definitive' version.
but we have to keep in mind is... it's just a plan of Plain, so delay may be possible.

I've never actually seen Oldboy. I think I was just destined to watch it in its definitive state, via Plain Archive

You're in for a treat! I've actually only seen it once before, and that was years ago... can't wait to rewatch it.
