Great podcast by Hyunhu Jang (@hyunhujang) and Adrián (@crtv.amigo)

with some information about Oldboy

Just listening to this now... really interesting listen! It still surprises me that there's only three guys running PlainArchive... they obviously work very hard and well together, as they're the best out there IMO. I'm actually glad that they delayed the release of Old Boy for the documentary too... these guys always aim for the best and give their full 100% to every project. Such a great company!

I Hope this iS the right Spot to Post it.

Read this on Facebook:

We're excited to announce the official launch of Plain Archive's sub-brand Plain Selective.

Unlike Plain Archive, Plain Selective will focus on mainstream films of bigger scale and bigger budget as well as a wide variety of genres.

Plain Selective will include releases which the home video sales rights are owned by a different company. The making of these releases will not be controlled by us. Instead, Plain Selective releases are going to be a joint effort between Plain and a partner.

Please note that Plain's main focus will still be Plain Archive. Therefore, Plain Selective could see as little as one or two releases a year.

This official launch of Plain Selective is what you might call an experiment, one of our ways of dealing with the diminishing state of the Blu-ray market. Between Plain and our partners, we'll be taking appropriate measures on our human resources to ensure Plain Archive meets its future release schedule. In other words, Plain Selective will be our second priority, with random release patterns.

By working with Lotte Entertainment and Video Travel, Terminator Genisys (2015) is going to be released as a Steelbook this May.

We'll be posting detailed updates on Terminator Genisys Steelbook as soon as we get Paramount's approval.

Thank you.

i'm propably not really interested in the plain selective titles. but if this secures future high premium releases for arthouse gems, then i'm totally for it.

@PlainArchive

Please buy the rights of Victoria (2015 - Sebastian Schipper)
This movie deserves much more praise and a broader audience then they had until now. The Director and crew achieved something very unique. Shooting a movie which is taken in one continous shot of 2 hours and 18 minutes. Above that, all characters are convincing and its a fresh breath of air. No Hollywood sauce, no cgi, no after effects, just raw camera work at its finest.

Question: Is the reason Terminator Genisys Plain Selective is not listed on the forum due to it being from the "Selective" range? Considering it is being released this month I was wondering why it is not on the forum

Not sure I'm following you.

The release is listed in the steelbook forum. Or do you mean something entirely different?

Does anyone know what happened to the Oldboy thread? Seems to have gone as I've seen a few tweets indicating news is forthcoming through another site.
