Tartan Video’s Asia Extreme label comes the film that set critics talking, won prizes at six international film festivals and single-handedly wiped octopus off the menus of sushi bars on multiple continents. Oldboy is the first U.S. release in Tartan and Director Park Chanwook’s “Vengeance Trilogy,� being released both in theaters and on DVD. Also included are Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance in which Oldboy’s Choi Min-sik also stars.
An anglicized remake of Oldboy is currently in the works from Vertigo Entertainment and Universal Studios, to be directed by Justin Lin (Better Luck Tomorrow). Rumored to be interested in the lead are Russell Crowe, Nicholas Cage and Tom Jane.
Based on the Japanese comic of the same name, Oldboy concerns Oh Dae-su (Choi Min-sik), an average family man who is kidnapped and imprisoned in a “hotel room� for 15 years without explanation. With no human interaction, his only company is the television where he sees he has been framed for the murder of his wife. Suddenly released, Oh Dae-su struggles to unravel the bizarre and twisting mystery of his imprisonment and seek revenge. But he soon realizes that his tormentor’s tortures have only just begun …
The DVD is presented in anamorphic widescreen. The Korean-language track can be viewed in Dolby Digital EX 5.1 Surround Sound or DTS-ES Digital 6.1 Surround Sound (either with English or Spanish subtitles). The English-language track is in Dolby Digital EX 5.1 Surround Sound.
Special DVD features include director & cinematographer’s commentary; interview with the director; deleted scenes with optional commentary; the Oldboy/IFILM.com DVD trailer contest winner; and trailers of Tartan Asia Extreme’s upcoming releases.
The UMD will feature the film in anamorphic widescreen presentation in Korean language with English subtitles along with deleted scenes not available on the DVD.
All releases on the Asia Extreme label are supported by broad-based and multi-faceted consumer advertising campaigns; a comprehensive online viral marketing campaign; and a public relations push to English-, Spanish- and Asian-language media.
