Amazon.co.uk is showing a Pathe Distribution release of "House of Flying Daggers" to be released on 10/06/08...is this a new and "improved" pressing as compared to the Sony (I believe) version already available?

...I was hoping that this new release via Pathe would be of a better quality than the present Sony version (which appears not to have been a success)...

Isn't the Sony disc the one that was nicknamed House of Flying Artifacts?

I'd love to buy this as well but heard the current Blu is horrible so I've avoided it.

Sometime's you reach what's real by making believe.

I just bought it recently and yes it is horrible but I paid only $13.00. If they re release it with better PQ, I would buy it. Great movie!

...I guess we'll just have to wait and see if the new Pathe presentation is just that and not a rehash of the Sony version...

House of Flying Colors

I thought Blu fans were against imports cause their a waste of $$$!!! ;-)

Super glad too hear this. If it is indeed improved; it puts that much more pressure to raising the PQ for ALL releases.
For those that need too know, here's the GREAT DVDBeaver comparisons:
Zhang Yimou's " House of Flying Daggers " Columbia Tri-Star - Region 1- NTSC vs. Starmax (2-Disc Limited Edition) - Region 3 - NTSC vs. EDKO Video Ltd. (Two-Disc Edition) - Region 3 - NTSC vs. Zoke Culture (China) Region 0 -
&
The House of Flying Daggers

Movies are: "The Greatest Artform".
HD should be for EVERYONE!
