We just received the official word from Tartan about their November 14th release of the 3-disc Special Edition of Park Chan-Wook’s Oldboy, including a much better look at the cover art that you’ve likely seen in a smaller form elsewhere.

Aside from the fantastic cover, which depicts one of the most memorable scenes in the film, the set will come with so many goodies you’ll wish you hadn’t spent the money on that expensive Korean import box set that doesn’t make any sense anyway cause you don’t speak the language. Here’s what we’ll be getting:

Disc One

Commentary by director Park Chan-Wook

Commentary by Chan-Wook and cinematographer Joeng-hun Jeong

Commentary by Chan-Wook and select cast members

Disc Two

Five behind-the-scenes featurettes

– Making the Film: The Cast Remembers (11mins)
– Production Design (13 mins)
– The Music Score (17 mins)
– CGI Documentary (8 mins)
– Flashback (23 mins)

Cast and crew interviews

Ten deleted scenes with optional commentary

Le Grand Prix at Cannes

Disc Three

The Autobiography of Oldboy, a video diary from all 69 shooting days of the film, which will come in at a total of 212 minutes!

There will also be an actual film cell from the 35mm print in the special metal case as well as the first volume of the Oldboy graphic novel that the movie was based on. My GOD could Tartan kick any more ass with this? Click here to pre-order it via Evilshop right now!
