Good Things From Korea

None of these are actually available to purchase yet but while perusing DVDfromKorea I found a trio of 'coming soon' notices that caught my attention.

First, they've got a listing for Three: Monster (aka Three Extreme) coming sometime in October. If that date's correct - and Korean releases are notorious for being rescheduled at the last moment - this will be the first release of the horror anthology worldwide. No word on subtitles but major Korean releases almost always include them.

Second, they're saying that there will be a director's cut of Taegukgi releasing in November. No word on specs but I expect that this will at least match the pretty three disc edition that releases this week.

And third, they've got something described as an animated soundtrack to Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell: Innocence. It looks to be the same thing as this Japanese release, only the Korean version costs about a third as much. Yeah, I complained about the script some but you can be mighty certain that I'll be picking this up ...
