CG Captain Harlock Film's 3D Blu-ray Planned in U.S.
posted on by Kevin Pennyfeather
California-based DVD and Blu-ray distributor Twilight Time confirmed with ANN on Tuesday it will release a 3D Blu-ray edition of director Shinji Aramaki's Harlock: Space Pirate animated film this December.
The package will include the original Japanese version and the international version on two separate discs, each with 3D and 2D options. The package's third disc will contain extras.
The international version is shorter than the original Japanese version, and features a slightly different ending.
The Harlock: Space Pirate Blu-ray package will be available from Twilight Time's website, which it launched this month, as well as through Screen Archive Entertainment and TCM Shop.
Ketchup Entertainment released the film on DVD, Digital HD, and Video on Demand in March. Netflix is streaming the movie with Japanese, English, and Spanish audio. Twilight Time is working with both Toei Animation and Ketchup Entertainment on its release.
Aramaki's CG film adapted Leiji Matsumoto's classic Captain Harlock manga with Toei Animation's highest production budget ever at the equivalent of more than 30 million U.S. dollars. The film won the best international animated feature award at the fifth annual 3D Create Arts Awards in 2014.
