Ad Astra (Possible Blu-ray SteelBook) (Manta Lab Exclusive No.?) [Hong Kong]
- Thread starter IRON MAN
- Start date

1. No releases for 2 months.
This year has been a quite hectic one for me and our market due to two main reasons. One of our major partners has exited the business and the projects we wanted to work on have been all delayed because of this. We expect to see the restoration in balance by the end of the year and hope that we can continue working on the best release for our customers. Our second reasons is because of the merger between Fox and Disney. Due to the merger, we have lost the access to the Fox's products and until we get a green light from company, we won't be able to handle any of the Fox products.
2. What's in the oven?
At the moment, we are baking below releases for the end of this year and early next year.
1. Us
2. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
3. Ad Astra
4. Joker
5. Scarface
Above list is a somewhat confirmed list of releases we aim to start pre-ordering from November to early next year.
3. 4th Anniversary
I can't believe that we are approaching our 4th anniversary with this company. Last year's anniversary wasn't really well prepared and we've moved the sales to February where things are quieter for us but this year we plan to bring our Anniversary promotions and sales in December. We are cooking some interesting and beneficial promotions for our customers so please give us little more time to announce the event.
4. How are things in the company?
As I've said previously, I've been getting a lot of emails from our customers whether if we were out of business only after 2 months of no release from us. I thought everyone was OK with some break with collecting for 2 months but this really enlightens me to work faster and release more products in the future
. Everyone in the company is doing OK as always and despite the difficulties internally and externally with the country and the company, we are holding our grounds and working our best to produce what our customer want with our products. Thank you very much for all the interest and emails. They really gave me a reason to post some update to remind our customers that we are still around!
5. Future releases other than what's mentioned in 2.
For 2020, we don't know how things will change with the studios but I expect things to be quite similar as 2018 or 2019. We will probably have between 7-8 releases and we will continue our DC lines and movies that we loved from the past and current. We've been not really posting much updates other than product infos because things have been quite slow around here with the approval and designing but we will try our best to speed up things for you guys.
Thank you very much for all the interest and our support line is always open for you guys, just drop an email anytime if you have questions or just simply say hi, there should be someone to reply back to you every time.
I will post more updates with Us and 4th Anniversary sale soon and thanks again for your support.
Best regards,
John

Incase people were wondering, the film was distributed by Bona Film Group and not 20th Century Fox in HK
Judging from what's been said (well, in this case, what hasn't) I wouldn't count on such release anymore. Happy to be proven wrong though!
Yes, unfortunately I think this one was announced before Manta changed from what it was to what it is, so I'm guessing since we haven't heard anything about it, it's probably indefinitely postponed. 
Filmarena still has an edition coming up, but it's the WWA steelbook.

Thanks for the responses. Certainly looks to be cancelled or at least postponed indefinitely. Bit of a shame as this certainly deserves a better steelbook than the WWA version.
The WWA was the height of laziness.
Surely they could have come up with something better than the all black at the back

Damn. I actually really enjoyed this movie and I was looking forward to this release. The other great planned releases make up for the loss of this though, so I don't think anyone will actually be missing this.
I will. For the very reason you stated: It's a good movie and certainly deserved a nice premium edition (and WEA steel).
But as long as ML don't burry it officially, I remain hopeful they'll actually pull through with this project.
Agree would love a Premium for this
Considering the beautiful job Manta did with First Man, was really looking forward to this

I wanted it too, but it's not a popular release (many people didn't like it) and manta seem to be doing only mainstream stuff now so I think the chances are slim. But we must remain hopeful.. Think of all the artwork and screencaps they could use
it has great potential
Yeah I just realized I repeated myself too. I just like space movie premiums I guess
