Both look great! If there would be a steelbook inside, it would perfect

Yes, This film, a type of Plain Archive Oldboy treatment it deserves.
But we will comply with this

Awesome news I'll go for a Full Slip

I've been waiting for this release. No steelbook is fine with me.

 

[Marco86]

Alarm is set. I will go for both editions

Very interested in the full slip, is this likely to be region B friendly?

It says Region All on the listing.

Full slip looks okay, lenti looks poor. If it's not a remaster I don't see the point, because the current Blu-ray PQ is awful.

The blu-ray will have a remastered version (see the video in the OP )

Go month of August: The Revenant Manta Lab, A Bittersweet Life of Novamedia and finally the grand finale ... Oldboy of Plain Archive

Movie has alot of nice key art and not much of it is on display here. Don't even like the choice of inner art. Just not sure why they went with black and red on the full slip, this isn't I Saw the Devil.

 

[Fisheds]

Most of the art is pretty uninspired (the amaray is nice); I hope someone eventually release a bare-bones version for those who just want the remastered film. Plain should've been given the rights.

Have not seen the movie. Is it good as Olboy, I saw the devil etc ?

Definitely belongs in the company of those two, despite not being as 'extreme'. A smoother experience that takes itself quite seriously, but also manages to retain a certain sense of humour. Very cool film, I much prefer it to ISTD personally.

What @Last Lizard said. But I prefer ISTD. But like he said it's hard to compare. It's just awesome as it is. Well worth to watch!

August is so expensive I decided to pass on this release. Artwork is just okay after looking at it again. I hope for another version or I'll pick up a keep case if they release one. I already own this on BD but I want the new master ..

For me the sequence would be: Oldboy, A Bittersweet Life and I saw the devil.
The soundtrack is sublime. The three films form a perfect triangle, as the two protagonists I saw the devil are you of Oldboy and A Bittersweet Life
