SPE & Asmik to bring Euro films to Japan: TAXi 4, Nuovo Cinema Paradiso, more - Blu-ray Forum

TAXi 4, Arthur and the Minimoys (aka Arthur and the Invisibles), and Nuovo Cinema Paradiso will be released in Japan on 1/25. All will be AVC with their original language in TrueHD (or PCM2.0 for Nuovo Cinema Paradiso). English subtitles weren't mentioned in the article, but they'll probably have them based on what I've seen for foreign films on DVD in Japan.

TAXi 4 will have a making-of for both the film and the music, interviews, and music clips. Arthur and the Minimoys will have a making-of, music clips, deleted scenes, and an "interview with Arthur". Nuovo Cinema Paradiso will apparently be bare-bones.

Also coming from SPE and Asmik (no dates/specifications mentioned):

Transporter series
Danny the Dog (aka Unleashed)
Michel Vaillant
Trainspotting
District 13 (aka District B13)
TAXi 3
Vidocq

And more will apparently be announced.

For those who don't know, even if these have region coding they should all be playable on US players since Japan is also Region A.

Oh, and Nuovo Cinema Paradiso is listed at 123 minutes, so it's apparently the international cut.
