holy crap. ok so IA III is up for preorder already . . . any idea when any of these will start popping up? im buying about 8 of them day 1.

im a little worried about the masters they will be using for some of them though . . . i know the wong kar-wai flicks got remasterd to HD for the recent Korean DVD releases (which look great). heres hoping thats what megastar uses.

Ashes of Time, which is not yet part of this batch of leaked titles, is set to be screened at the Cannes Film Festival this year boasting a brand new, restored, print. It is part of the "Special Screenings" series. So, perhaps there was work done on the rest of the films mentioned here.

In any event, there are some very good titles to be had.

I fear for the quality to be honest, but Inferal Affairs turned out OK, maybe MegaStar has mended their DVD ways.........

I wonder if anyone asked poor Chris Doyle about these transfers.

Talked to him extensively about his films on DVD, and he said that basically nothing apart from Lady in the Water looked the way he wanted. For all the talk of "director's intent", the cinematographers often get short-shrifted -- especially in Asian cinema, it seems.

Such a pity.
