They just confirmed it is a US release! So a fully english friendly version!

I'm glad it's one of Capelight's exclusive US releases which means it will be available on Amazon US which means free shipping & english friendly extras like the book.

That's just so funny. A 4k HDR film for a black and white film. Surely there'll be no difference than watching it on dvd.

I had a buddy of mine ask what good is 4K UHD HDR with a monochromatic film such as Limbo but if I understand correctly just the fact it's 10 bit will double or triple the grayscale range alone not too mention the resolution difference.

[Darth Kermit]

Yeah, resolution and color range. I’d certainly rather watch it in 4K resolution than a DVD, same as a color film.

That's a strange comment. The difference would be huge. Just like with colour film.

Ringo Lam's In Hell is getting a special mediabook release with included JCVD action figure on May 15.

i've not seen In Hell, does that figure correspond to his garb in the movie? looks closer to Bloodsport.

...and will most likely not look like that anyway.

[ChillyChong]

Everything is connected if you dig deep enough and want to see connection...Seems no Cheetah on Fire this month but maybe on 2024 April.

yeah, it's just a promotion and not tied into In Hell. You're correct, the figure is from Bloodsport. If you're not interested in the figure pack, then you can just get the regular mediabook sans figure which is due out May 27 and also about 60 euros cheaper!

That's not true. It looks exactly like that. It was sculpted by Rocco Tartamella who does excellent work.

For those who missed 88 Films version of this pretty good prison film. I consider it a sort of fighting mans shawshank.

I remember watching this on Channel 4 (UK) right at the start of the Channel. I've never seen it since. I remember kind of enjoying it then, I'd probably bloody love it now.

This is supposed to be put out by the HK Film Archive. Not sure if it's been released yet but it's going to come with a nice booklet. I'll hold out for that version.

**edit**

Ok, here are the details.

It's HK dollars. At the current exchange rate it's about $26.75 USD. But I've seen it sold for around $40 which is worth it to me.

Apparently it's already "sold out", These HKFA releases sell pretty quickly. I have one of their previous releases with Ann Hui's Visible Secret and I had to get it through my friend in HK. HKFA doesn't have a web store but you can go there and physically get a copy and that's how I got Visible Secret. But I saw it for pre-order at buyoyo for $40.

Just got a find my list of people I know in Hong Kong...just a sec.
