Nice, looking forward to this.

[tenia]

Note that there will be a cheaper / simpler release just like it was the case for Body Double.

€26 is the 'cheaper' release?

As with Body Double, I like the movie, but not that much...

I hope there are English subtitles for the Chinese speaking parts and don't have the same issue as all the releases for Killing Zoe where the French speaking parts have no US subs.

[tenia]

Except if the English subs are baked in the HD master supplied, since there won't be English subs on the overall release, there certainly only be French subs on the Chinese parts.

[sgmarine]

Hope that this release will be the uncut version.

[RupertPupkin]

will the Blu-Ray + book "deluxe" edition be exclusively sell via fnac.fr (they already take pre-order) ?

So far, the amazon.fr page has a reference but you can't pre-order it (contrary to "Body Double" which could be order at amazon.fr)

http://www.amazon.fr/LANNÉE-DRAGON-C.../dp/B019SD88YE

[tenia]

There has been no announcement to support that. Most likely, Amazon is taking longer than usual to allow for preorders, nothing more.

The back cover picture on Amazon lists french subtitles only.

[wesslan]

wow very nice bitrate and 24-bit audio. Now we just need to know how non english dialouge (if there is any?) is handled, with english subs seems like a low chance or?

[spannick]

Chinese Triad Bosses confering in Cantonese is not subtitled in English, just checked. there are only 2x French Subtitles, once for whole Movie and one for the above Scenes.

Thanks for checking....now I still have to wait for a US, Australian or UK release. Too bad.... there are a lot of French blu rays that I would order from amazon.fr if they had an English subtitle option.
