Plain Archive is excited to announce the release of I Saw The Devil Steelbook. We've been asked by Blue Kino, another Korean Blu-ray company to design the Steelbook edition which will be PLAIN ARCHIVE's exclusive.
We were hoping to release the world's first Steelbook edition of I Saw The Devil, but Zavvi announced its own before we could. The news made us reconsider the project, but with director Kim Jee-woon's support, we couldn't drop it.
I Saw The Devil Steelbook will be released under the approval of director Kim, and we are working on the artwork as we speak.
Best Regards
PLAIN ARCHIVE

I`m talking about the Picture in the OP-looks almost as boring as "The Wrestler"- bought that one because the Pics looked really awesome-but as soon as i had it in Hand-i sold it right away.So,as i said-easy pass.

That is just a teaser poster, it's not the final artwork.

I hope Plain Archive makes another edition with just a slipcover or a digipak instead of a steelbook but if they don't I hope they at least add a full slip to this release. Then I might pick it up.

Looks like I have to cancel the zavvi order. Looking forward to this release

My prayers been answered, who's better than Korea to release a Korean film in a luxurious steelbook packaging, if not KimchiDVD it's PA!! thanks god & U for that and please keep those Korean films coming in your exclusive line, there are lots of worthy classic titles out there deserves this quality treatment, don't get me started haha

i hope they know what theyre doing, because this might be even harder to sell than wrestler..

i hope they know what theyre doing, because this might be even harder to sell than wrestler..

why would a popular and acclaimed Korean film be hard to sell to Koreans? The international sales will be a bonus to them.

if anything, zavvi will have a hard job selling their edition. especially when they will have plain archives superior version to compete with.

None of that will happen here, this will certainly sell out just like their first highly sought after BD amaray LE with slip did and I'm a proud owner of it, simply amazing film!

 

[Marcuszoller]

They also sold their full contingent of The Wrestler allocated to Korea, which was half the print run, about a month ago. This company will grow and grow and steels like tis one will become highly sought after.

Nobody is telling Blufans that Farewell My Concubine might be difficult to shift

This is awesome news! I didn't bother with the terrible Zavvi artwork. The Wrestler is the most meticulously crafted steelbook release I've ever seen (not just design but by letting buyers know EXACTLY what they're getting well before release). I Saw the Devil is a masterpiece and the fact that it's from Plain Archive and is director-approved makes this the definitive home video release!

Here are my wishes:

-Gloss finish
-Color inside artwork
-Both cuts of the film
-English subtitles
-A regular-sized slipbox instead of the thicker one (due to the booklet) that came with The Wrestler. But if not then a 1/4 slip option.
-I'm sure Plain Archive will come up with a beautiful design either way but I'd be happy to see artwork based on one of these three posters:

[hatredhorror]

ye right

remember to buy enough multiples to later trade 1:1 vs the likes of iron man fs or t2 v2.0

 

[Jericho]

Definitely an interesting choice and hopefully a step up from Zavvi

 

[samus24]

Very nice, it makes the choice easy between zavvi and this one

 

[Troll2Fan]

I can't wait for this!!

I can't wait for this!!

Me too buddy

Also Zero Dark Thirty .

Me too buddy

Also Zero Dark Thirty .

I'm excited about that one too, but more so about I Saw the Devil.

 

[DJHilalo]

I'm always excited for any PA release, period!

 

[RekLess]

Me too buddy

Also Zero Dark Thirty .

I'm excited about that one too, but more so about I Saw the Devil.

I'm equally excited for both. (Kathryn Bigelow is awesome. ZDT was my favorite from the 2013 Oscar Best Picture nominees. And I Saw the Devil is one of those movies that just hasn't had the special treatment it deserves--until now.)
