Yep they sell the Korean release.

I watched the UK version last weekend, and this is one fun film. Top notch production, along with a audio track that gets to show off plenty of gunfire.
Well done, and most enjoyable!

I couldn't agree more, I loved the film and really enjoyed the soundtrack! We reviewed it a while back anyway.....

DVDTherapy,

Very nice review. And as you mentioned the alternative endings are fun to watch.

I'll be waiting for the Korean BD coming out in August as that one will be the longer international cut.

will this version have an English dub or English subtitles?

Edit:

i see it listed as such on the preorder site.

English subs are typically included in Korean releases (DVD and Blu-ray) and this one is listed with English subs as usual. English dubs aren't typical though but subs are way better anyway

I agree subs are (usually) way better than dubs.

I just got the confirmation from K2DVD.com that the Korean BD release will only include the shorter International cut.

^ Bad news But I'll keep my pre-order for the Korean disc anyway as I don't have the UK release.

The release seems to be pushed forward to 24th of September now, got this note from K2DVD:

The distributor delayed the release once again
to 24. Sept. 2009. It might take longer time to
manufacture since they changed the package type
from normal Blu-ray case to DigiPak type.

I'm actually happy that the international cut is included instead of the Korean one. I thought the Korean cut slowed down the film and I liked the ending on the international cut more.

The release seems to be pushed forward to 24th of September now, got this note from K2DVD:

Ended canceling my order upon getting that email. Sounded from their reply they might have actually expected a cancellation as they said that they "kind of expected it". They said they were also disappointed to learn the Korean cut was left out.

Mine has shipped today from Korea (k2dvd.com). Since it shipped by EMS, I should be receiving it pretty quickly, probably this weekend or so.

I'll post some details when I get it.

EDIT: Seems that it may arrive on Monday next week if not earlier, according to EMS tracking: "Guaranteed Delivery Date : 2009.09.28"

Interestingly I had to swap 2 first letters in the EMS tracking code provided on the site as valid codes start with EM but this one started with ME. After such modification the tracking code worked on the Korean EMS tracking site that I found with Google.

Got it already! Very nicely packaged by k2dvd, in a cardboard box with lots of bubblewrap. It's region free and on a BD-50, I'll post more info soon.
