So excited!

Johnnie To's 1998 A Hero Never Dies is getting an HD remaster in Japan. It's currently seeing a limited theatrical re-release and will be followed by a BD release early next year.

This is great news for both Hong Kong cinema and Johnnie To fans because classic Hong Kong movies being remastered (properly) pretty much doesn't happen and this is regarded as one of To's best works. Hopefully, they'll get around to other titles in his filmography (i.e., THE MISSION) and this will mean more classic Hong Kong movies dying for a remaster will get some attention as well.
