Press Release:
"Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is honored to announce the DVD release of Ashes of Time Redux on March 3, 2009. This definitive version of Wong Kar Wai’s epic film has been restored, re-edited, digitally colorized and re-scored, with solos by acclaimed cellist Yo-Yo Ma. Ashes of Time Redux will be available for an SLP of $28.96. The DVD release will include a making-of featurette and a Q & A with Wong Kar Wai.
Ashes of Time, originally completed in 1994, was the first film from director Wong Kar Wai’s Jet Tone production company. The film received only a limited release and, in the years since, the existing prints and negatives had become damaged or destroyed. “To rectify this situation,” Wong Kar Wai states, “we decided to revisit this project and to create the definitive version.” He and his colleagues began the process by gathering as much existing material as could be found and restoring those elements, using advanced technology that had not existed in the early ‘90’s. He also collaborated with Yo-Yo Ma to create a new soundtrack, rearranging some of the original compositions by Freddie Chan and adding some original ones. Ashes of Time Redux is the result."
