Shout Factory acquires Golden Princess library

Hopefully they treat these releases with the respect and attention they deserve.

I'm amazed the rights issued got cleared up given it's been in a nightmare for so long.

They are trying to handle these with the respect and care deserved.

Randomly was in the mood for A Chinese Ghost Story lately and it just occurred to me that next month's trilogy boxset release is only a Blu-Ray?

A CHINESE GHOST STORY (1080p High-Definition Widescreen (1.85:1) / Cantonese & English DTS-HD Master Audio Mono / 96 min.)
In this beloved cult classic fantasy, a traveling tax collector (Leslie Cheung) short on funds opts to take shelter in a seemingly abandoned temple. He is surprised to discover a beautiful maiden (Joey Wang) there, and instantly falls for her beauty and grace. While every romance has its challenges, the tax collector gets more than he bargained for when he learns that the maiden is in fact a ghost forced into servitude by a demon. With the help of a brave warrior, the tax collector must brave the perils of a supernatural world in order to free his newfound love.

A CHINESE GHOST STORY II (1080p High-Definition Widescreen (1.85:1) / Cantonese & English DTS-HD Master Audio Mono / 103 min.)
This vibrant sequel to the 1987 original A Chinese Ghost Story finds our innocent tax collector hero (Leslie Cheung) falsely imprisoned. Upon escaping, he crosses paths with a pair of rebellious women (Joey Wang and Michelle Reis). Though mourning the loss of his ghostly love, his broken heart must heal in a hurry in order to face a new series of paranormal encounters and adventures.

A CHINESE GHOST STORY III (1080p High-Definition Widescreen (1.85:1) / Cantonese DTS-HD Master Audio Mono / 109 min.)
The A Chinese Ghost Story Trilogy concludes with this third installment. In many ways a retelling of the original film's story, A Chinese Ghost Story III sees Joey Wang reprising her role from the 1987 classic as a stunning and supernatural spirit. A hundred years after the events of A Chinese Ghost Story, the demon who held the gorgeous ghost under its spell has reawakened to reclaim her.

Does anyone have any idea if that's actually all it'll get despite them being 4K restorations, or are there actually UHD HDR masters for those titles floating around that Shout! put out on streaming or something in the recent past?

On a similar note, I wonder if it's the same master as the 2018 restoration or if they did any adjustments to it color-wise.
