Spoiler

- The steelbook illustration is by Krzysztof Domaradzki.
- The artwork for the slipbox was used previously for the Oldboy vinyl LP. It was co-ordinated by Nicolas Winding Refn, the director of Drive, and illustrated by Laurent Durieux. The director of Oldboy Park Chan-wook wanted one of our editions to feature this artwork so we reached out to Milan Records and illustrator Laurent Durieux. You'll be able to see more of the artwork since parts of the top and bottom were cropped out for the vinyl LP.



Old mock up

Apologies if this has been asked but will the new audio commentaries be subtitled too?

They will not be subtitled. However, the Knowles commentary is, I believe, spoken English.

 

[lgans316]

i think people should look at it more positively.. you get two discs, and the third disc with no english subs doubles as a cool drinks coaster

We always think and react positive to any Asian retailer. Unconditional love is rife out there.

However once the flight lands in the UK / EU threads, it is all pitchforks and cut throat.

Received a response from Plain this morning to an email about the box set.

Their response:

"Unfortunately, we confirmed what we couldn't ship to international.
But, we received so many requirement about the box-set.
So, we will consider for them.
When we confirmed new plan, we will announce"

Fingers crossed.

Thanks for sharing! That's great that they're listening to feedback.

These were already confirmed to feature english subtitles with Plain's Keepcase listing going live where they were also stated.

 

[nekromantik]

Yeah so only the new extras will be subbed.
Any ported extras from Korean DVD will be Korean only sounds like.

 

[goufcustom]

Now I'm confused, so it means all bonus features would have English subtitle?

 

[Sigill]

Now I'm confused, so it means all bonus features would have English subtitle?

No just the all new Bonus Features will have English subs. Disc 3 won't have any English subtitles.

 

[nafosb]

New Oldboy bonus features have English subs. Old Oldboy bonus features don't have English subs. Old Newboy bonus features........., forget it, I'm just confusing myself now. Whatever.

Thanks for the update @Four Foot One, sounds like they might be considering selling it internationally then!

I like boxed sets....But seriously, half the shipping cost would be because of a freakin' hammer inside the box!
It just seems stupid. Why not do a boxed set of Pain & Gain with 20 pound weights?!!!

There isn't a hammer inside the box @C.C. 95. Those were pictures from an earlier boxset that has been released. Plain's boxset doesn't include a hammer!

There's no hammer... those were pics I posted of my UK DVD trilogy boxset that came with a hammer/bottle opener
