Good news, as I love the film, but I have to admit that I'm a bit suspicious in regards to the distributor. I hope it doesn't get screwed up in some way.

DVDAsian appears to have the cover art.

They also claim it's anamorphic. Here's hoping.

I'll await the reviews before purchasing this title. Considering I purchased a cheap import from China that is pretty awful, I would welcome a new release as long as it is remastered.

P.S.
I also want to see the powerful Story of Qiu Jo finally came out on U.S. DVD, but, jeez, do these right!

The VHS tape I had was from Orion Classics, thus MGM and now Sony. Sony put out Qiu Ju in full screen (which is actually cropped, not open matte because I have the HK dvd that's really widescreen and I did the comparison to my VHS tape). This movie would require a lot of attention because of all the use of color. Hopefully they get it right. Gong Li is amazing.

Here are direct links to the DVDs on the distributor's website:
Ju Dou

Raise the Red Lantern
http://www.razordigitalent.com/Distr...redlantern.htm
For a little over $9 each, I preordered them in a two-pack from DDD (though they are also available from Digital Eyes, DVD Planet & DVD Empire):

Well this is one of my most anticipated releases of the year, but I, like others, will wait to see some reviews first. Going to be pretty disappointed if its a shitty version...

This is great news; however, like others I'll await the reviews before purchasing. But, then again, if I'm in a store that day and have it in my hands, I might not be able to put it down.

Amazon also shows this:
Availability: Usually ships within 1 to 3 months. Ships from and sold by Amazon.com.
The cover is pretty ghetto; they really should have used the film's poster. It's all about distant shots in that movie! ... But maybe that's if this comes out by this company, which might be a blessing in disguise, considering it's track record on porting Asian DVDs. Still, this must be released in the U.S. already!
