News & Notice
'De rouille et d'os(Rust and Bone)' (2012, Jacques Audiard) Pre-order will start.
PA008 <De rouille et d'os(Rust and Bone, 2012)> : Pre-order will start at 10AM, 30th January, 2015.(Korea Standard Time).
Our non-Steelbook releases <Blue is the Warmest Colour> and <The Master> both sold out within 24 hours. Many customers have asked to increase the number of copies from our usual 1000.
After careful consideration, we’ve decided to increase the number of copies of <Rust and Bone> by 50%.
**Please note that we don’t have any plans to release <Rust and Bone> as a Steelbook.
PA008 <Rust and Bone> will be released in two versions. The difference is the Slipbox and the Booklet design.
※ <Rust and Bone> will be released in two designs as shown below.
When we revealed <Rust and Bone>’s original slip cover design with a “photo-wall” concept, it was clearly unpopular.
The “photo-wall” image that we used for [Design A] appears briefly in the movie. It’s a wall of photographs from Stéphanie(Marion Cotillard)’s past and we thought it would be a good idea to show them properly in high-resolution.
But at the same time, we knew how it didn’t directly represent the feature film itself.
After a week of brainstorming with our design partner at Propaganda, we’ve decided to give [Design A] a new look.
The “photo-wall” image will be used for the booklet instead.
Thank you.
'THE MASTER' Steelbook has sold over 3,300 copies
PA006(Also PA-S03) 'THE MASTER' Blu-ray Steelbook has sold over 3,300 copies in its first ten days! (Both domestic and international)
It's better results than we expected, although the former Keep-case edition is sold out completely.
We are proud and happy to see that this kind of art-house film is appealing to you despite not being block buster or Marvel franchise.
We really thanks for your order and support!
Best regards

Combo Pack items NOT sharing the same number.
We’ve NEVER guaranteed that you’ll be getting the same number for every item when purchasing our ISTD Triple-pack or the One-click Combo Pack. Some of our customers who ordered earlier than most could have gotten the same number for all. But some of our customers have ordered a single item and you can imagine how that would affect the Combo Pack items not sharing the same number.
With the release of <I Saw The Devil>, we’ve announced before the pre-order that the ‘first come first served lower number’ policy is for the first 100 copies only. The rest were distributed randomly.
The variations of “packs” were made available because there were many of you that asked for them. To show gratitude for your support, we’ve included the director’s hand-signed cards.
Our own policy of ‘lower number allocation on a first come first served basis’ is causing delays on shipments as well as customer email response. We’re operating with a very few people indeed.
As we gradually grow and sell more copies each month, it would become even more challenging for us to continue this policy. The ‘first come first served lower number’ policy which we implemented ourselves may face downsizing or shutdown in the near future.
Thank you for your understanding.
PS. Other Korean steelbook publishers like Nova or Kimchi does offer matching numbers for their own Triple packs. The confusion is understandable, but we don’t share the same policy.

★★★ Important Update: Our Online Store ★★★
Dear International customers
Beginning with the pre-order of <I Saw The Devil> and <The Master>, our Online Store will no longer support Small Packet shipping. Korea Post has recently asked us to replace all Small Packet shipments with K-Packet.
Small Packet is a manual system that requires a lot of time on our end, resulting in a huge slowdown of our entire shipping process. The shipping system is out of date.
We’re also experiencing a huge increase with incoming orders. The total print run of <I Saw The Devil> and <The Master> combined exceeds 5,000, which is a lot for us to handle.
So we're sorry that no longer support Small Packet shipping. Please use K-Packet from now on for its safety and speed. Thank you for understanding. We'll do our best for reliable customer service.
Best regards
