Tartan USA RIP

[Zyclone]

Tartan USA have shut their doors from the sounds of it bad news for US fans of Hong Kong and Asian Films. http://www.varietyasiaonline.com/kai.../TARTAN-CLOSED

That's a real shame

If only people didn't pirate so many Asian films, whether throughbootlegs or the internet maybe a good outfit like them could survive

That really SUCKS

hopefully Tartan Uk's blu ray releases remain free region.

Well, with some luck we'll see another good company picking up the rights to those films. I guess we'll have to go the Tartan UK route for the rest of the Oldboy trilogy on BR if we want it any time soon.

Sad for sure, I've got quite a few Tartan releases in my collection (Including Oldboy on BR).

The problem I've noticed with all these asian film distributors is that they take too long to release to the US. Some people, myself included, want to see the movie right away. So we just opt for getting the asian version instead.

Is Oldboy their only release on Blu-ray and if so I guess it will be out of print soon.
