Shout!, GKids Bring A 4K Triple Threat Of John Woo Classics Back Into Theaters In 2026

As if you needed a reason to go back to the movies and see a John Woo classic on the big screen… Tickets are on sale for a spell of limited theatrical 4K re-releases for three of the director’s greatest hits: Hard Boiled, A Better Tomorrow, and The Killer. Shout! Studios is ramping up the campaign via their Hong Kong Cinema Classics initiative, in association with GKids Films with a listing of up to 800 theater locations across the U.S., as revealed by Collider‘s Jeff Ewing on Wednesday. The films, collectively featuring screen legends Chow Yun-Fat, Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Ti Lung, Leslie Cheung, and Danny Lee in their respective credits, got limited releases earlier this year as Shout! prepped its home release campaign on digital and physical mediums.

Farewell to the Sorcerer: Remembering Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (1950–2025)

I found out this morning, the same way most of us did: a quiet post on social media, then a flood of broken-heart emojis under that iconic Mortal Kombat poster. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa is gone. 75 years old. A stroke. And just like that, the man who could silence a room with a single slow tilt of his head is no longer with us. If you grew up in the ’90s renting VHS tapes until the magnetic ribbon wore thin, you already know the moment. Mortal Kombat, 1995. The banquet hall. Shang Tsung, in that black-and-gold robe, leaning back in his throne like evil itself had decided to take a coffee break and enjoy the show. “Your soul is mine.” Four words, delivered with this velvet menace that made every 12-year-old in the room simultaneously terrified and obsessed. That was Cary. He didn’t just play the villain; he made villainy look […]

Following its unveiling at the JAFF Market to kick the week off, the official launch teaser for Queen Of Malacca (or Ratu Malaka) made its online premiere on Monday with a promising new outlook for the good stalwarts at Visinema and Indonesian cinema as a whole. Angga Dwimas Sasongko is directing the film now bound for 2027, and a cast led by Pangku star Claresta Taufan, who added the following, via Variety‘s Naman Ramachandran: “Stepping into my first action film was a shock to the system — in the best way. The training and the story really pushed me, and I discovered a side of myself I didn’t know I had. There’s real grit and adrenaline in this film, and I can’t wait for audiences to feel that rush,” Taufan said. The project was first announced over the summer at the Cannes market with Sasongko attached to direct. Taufan is […]

HiGH&LOW: BORN TO BE HiGH Teases A Thai Action-Fueled Spin To The Japanese Franchise In 2027!

Japanese action franchise HiGH&LOW is going to Thailand in 2027 with the launch of new series venture, HiGH&LOW: BORN TO BE HiGH. Thailand’s GMMTV and Parbdee Taesuk are producing and mainlining the series with a cast of nearly a dozen A-listers in the region, including Nanon (Korapat Kirdpan), Sky (Wongravee Nateetorn), Nani (Hirunkit Changkham), and Pond (Naravit Lertratkosum). The story inherits the fascinating worldview of the previous “HiGH & LOW” series, and depicts a dynamic world unique to this new chapter through stylish action and the drama of young people standing up to protect their beliefs. HiGH&LOW exploded onto screens in 2015, featuring a talent array in the wheelhouse of management firm LDH, including members of Japanese supergroup, Exile Tribe.
