A Touch of Zen (Eureka - MoC) LIMITED EDITION: 2,000 COPIES

[ravenus]

A little early perhaps, but I just started this thread on A Touch of Zen, the Hong Kong epic from King Hu coming in January 2016 from Eureka. Coming out first in a limited to 2000 copies 3-disc edition (2-BD+1-DVD), this promises to be a special release. As we know thus far these are the specifications:

• Gorgeous 4K restoration, on both Blu-ray and DVD
• New English subtitle translation
• Limited edition third disc with the documentary 'King Hu 1932-1997', a new video essay by critic David Cairns, and more
• Booklet featuring an interview with King Hu, new writing and more!

The film itself clocks in at 200 min and will likely occupy the whole of the first disc. Hopefully, Eureka will not neglect to have a chapter menu for this one at least, as they have in some of their recent releases (Dragon Inn, Naked Prey).

I've pre-ordered this from Amazon (current price 20.99GBP), I'd be happy if the price goes down a little more before release (in comparison I paid 16GBP at pre-order for other 2-BD MoC releases like The Nibelungs and Dr. Mabuse, The Gambler).
