Not many details yet - i.e. no word if those rumors that this edition will include Yimou's original 20 minute longer cut - but the North American DVD release of Hero has been announced for November 30th. I'll keep my eyes open for specs ...
*** UPDATE ***
Hey, look! Specs! And they aint so hot.
Technical specifications:
- 2.35:1 Anamorphic Widescreen transfer
- Mandarin Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround
- English dub Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround
Supplemental Features:
- Making-of Featurette of "Hero"
- Interview with filmmaker Quentin Tarantino on "Hero"
- "Hero" Theatrical Trailer
No DTS, and word is it's the theatrical release rather than the long version. I'll be sticking with my pretty Korean edition, I think.
*** Another Update ***
More specs. According to DVD Answers this will include a DTS track, as well as an English language dub - I knew they couldn't resist - the Hero Defined documentary, and some storyboards. Hero Defined is the half hour english documentary I mentioned above, and it's pretty good. A solid overview of the different stages and aspects of production, as told by Zhang Yimou and the film's stars.
