I can't disclose yet who the new Fortune Star distributor in Hong Kong is because the deal is not finalized. However, the company has asked me to help them gather some preliminary feedback to determine how they should approach these new releases.
This new Fortune Star distributor will be handling both the digitally remastered and non-digitally remastered titles.Previously in Hong Kong, IVL handled the digitally remastered titles while Deltamac handled the non-digitally remastered titles. I can't divulge how many titles they are licensing but I can say it is in the hundreds.
For those that don't know, Fortune Star was created by Star TV to oversee the licensing of Star TV's film library which includes the films made by Golden Harvest (pre-94), Cinema City, D&B, and many other production companies. For many, the films in this library are the best of the best of the golden age of Hong Kong cinema.
My contact at the company will be directly involved in the production of the DVDs so your feedback will make a difference. He will be monitoring this thread and reading your feedback. This is your opportunity to have your voice heard.
When this new distributor finalizes the deal with Fortune Star, they will put a list of films they have licensed on their website and will allow the fans to choose which films get released first. They will also be allowing fans to decide which non-digitally remastered DVDs will have DTS/DD 5.1.
My contact is promising a level of interactivity that HK DVD fans have not seen before. The person sincerely wants your feedback so give it to him!
Please refrain from mentioning who you think the new distributor is or I will have to edit your post. Thanks.
