One of the best Japanese horror films this decade, Audition, is about to get a special 10th anniversary release, courtesy of Shout Factory, reports Twitch Film. While no date is set in stone other than an October tease, below you'll find a list of the current extra features for both the DVD and high def Blu-ray release. In the film directed by the infamous Takashi Miike, a middle-aged widower is urged by his teenage son & film producer friend to start dating again. They devise a plan to hold a phony film audition to meet new women. The widower falls for a beautiful ballerina with a suspicious past & their courtship veers from poilte romance to psychnightmare!
Shout! Factory will handle the release which is set for both DVD and Blu-ray format with the following extras in tow:
• Feature-length audio commentary with Miike and screenwriter Daisuke Tengan, who is also scripting Miike’s upcoming remake of the chanbara classic 13 ASSASSINS. Film writer and Eiga Hi-Ho contributor Masato Kobayashi moderates the Japanese-language (and English-subtitled) commentary track.
• Video introduction by Miike
• New video interview featurettes with the film’s main cast
- From Audition to Vampire Girl: Eihi Shiina
- Tokyo—Hollywood: Ryo Ishibashi
- Miike’s Toy: Renji Ishibashi
- The Man in the Bag Speaks: Ren Osugi
• Film trailer, plus liner notes by Agitator author and Midnight Eye founder Tom Mes
AUDITION is one of my favorite movies. Own it on DVD. Blu-ray? How long will it be before all movies are downloads? I'm not re-buying my whole fucking collection, just to have all the b-r discs become obsolete in the next few years...
