Random Media will release on Blu-ray acclaimed director Lu Chuan's period film The Last Supper (2012), starring Daniel Wu, Qin Lan, Liu Ye, Chang Chen, Nie Yuan, and Sha Yi. The release, which will be distributed by Cinedigm, will be available for purchase on October 14th.

Official synopsis: From internationally-acclaimed director Lu Chuan comes an epic story of war, of dreams fulfilled and of betrayals -- betrayals of friendship, of ideals, and of oneself.

Yu is a young noble: handsome, brave, admired. Commander of the era's most powerful army, he leads the revolt against the cruel Qin dynasty. Yu recognizes great potential in Liu, a peasant, and gives him command of 5,000 soldiers. Liu breaks an agreement with Yu by entering and ransacking the Qin capital alone. The Qin dynasty falls and Yu rules. Wary of treachery, his advisers plot to kill Liu at a great banquet, but the emperor spares his life. From this 'last supper', Liu will wage war against Yu. Xin, an adviser to Yu, joins him. Defeated, Yu commits suicide on the battlefield rather than submit to capture. Yu is dead, but now Xin is a threat. Liu imprisons then releases him, but broods about having spared Xin's life as Yu spared his… Xin too must die. Emperor Liu has finally reached his goal. But his soul remains deeply troubled – haunted by the ghosts of his betrayals, unable to find peace in the position he dreamed of and fought ruthlessly to achieve…

Note: Director Lu Chuan's powerful period drama City of Life and Death a.k.a. Nanjing! Nanjing! (2009) is already out on Blu-ray.
