*It is tagged Ashes of Time-Redux and it is part of the "Special Screenings" series.
edit: to answer the above question, all previous BR discs have been region A.

Wow...so looking forward to these!!! I hope they send out the release dates soon.
Blu ray discs are still a small niche in Hong Kong but would hopefully get bigger. Was just there a month ago and the local stores only have them in two or three shelves.

I doubt HK companies will start coding their releases soon. They get too much business from international sales.
These releases are awesome. Can't wait to see Exiled in BR. The Warlords and Assembly will probably look amazing, as well. Can't wait for these!!

I'm a fan of Wong Kar Wai, but I've always heard bad things about Ashes of Time. I haven't actually seen it for myself yet, but the lackluster reviews I've read so far don't seem to bode well. Is it worth checking out in its current DVD form?

The current Ashes of Time DVD, if you can even find a copy, is one of the absolute worst discs ever produced in any region throughout the entire lifespan of DVDs.
So, uh, no, I'd avoid it. Ashes of Time Redux is premeiring shortly at Cannes and Sony will presumably be issuing a new DVD (and Blu-ray?) of the film in the next year.
