OLDBOY RELEASE DATE + SPECS UPDATE

As some of you may know, we ran into a few contractual issues for some extras on this release. Sadly, we weren’t able to work this out and these extras will not be included on our releases. However, in order to create the best version of OLDBOY that we can, we’ve managed to licence LADY VENGEANCE and SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE - which will both be included on our Limited 4-discs release! You can check out the revised specs for all editions of OLDBOY below.

These changes have also unfortunately impacted the release date - which will now be Sept 23. We really appreciate your patience whilst we ironed this situation out and we really hope that you’ll be pleased with the additions to the releases and enjoy the new restoration. *Please note that the 4-disc set is 95% sold out already, so if you are keen to grab a copy don’t sleep on it
