I was too slow to preorder the Drive 4k Steelbook from Amazon before it sold out, darn it. Can anyone vouch for WowHD, and how they package up steelbooks? Postage is free which makes me cautious. 
Given it's a Sony release, I may just wait and hope that it's a title JB Hi-fi will pick up. 

 

EDIT: Out of curiosity, I went to the All Interactive Distribution website, which is doing all the Sony titles for Aus & NZ, and straight away there's a big pic of Ryan Gosling in his scorpion jacket staring back at me, so thinking it's a pretty safe bet this release is coming Down Under.

THE ABYSS (1989) Ultimate Collector's Edition - US IMPORT

 

Release Date Australia: TBA • Expected Release Date NZ: June 14th.

 

This title is a re-stock after the first shipment sold out.

 

 

When the ballistic missile submarine USS Montana goes down on the edge of the Cayman Trough after encountering an unusual underwater object, the US Navy recruits the crew of the privately-owned Deepcore underwater drilling platform—led by Bud Brigman (Ed Harris) and his estranged wife Dr. Lindsey Brigman (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio)—to effect a rescue. Along for the ride, and technically in command of the mission, is a SEAL team led by Lieutenant Coffey (Michael Biehn). Upon reaching the wreck site, the crew soon discovers that there’s no one left to rescue. But unknown to Deepcore’s crew, the SEALs plan to scuttle the wreck with one of the sub’s own MIRV warheads to prevent the rest of its nukes from falling into Russian hands.

JOINT SECURITY AREA (2000)

 

Release Date Australia: August 7th • Release Date NZ: TBA.

 

 

The tense and taut war-thriller from Park Chan-wook (Oldboy), JOINT SECURITY AREA, for the first time in 4K HDR exclusive to Umbrella, stations us between the turbulent sides of the North and South Korean border, entwined in an investigation as to the death of two soldiers with eleven bullets fired.

 

Eight shots! The truth is there. A firefight occurs at the "Bridge of No Return" in the DMZ (De-Militarized Zone), and two North Korean soldiers are killed. The North claims that the incident was a flagrant attack by the South Koreans, while the South claims that one of their soldiers was kidnapped. In order to solve the dispute, the NNSC (Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission)dispatches half-Korean half-Swiss Army Intelligence Bureau officer, Major Sophie E. Jean. With no cooperation from either side, the case appears to be unsolvable with the potential for a coverup. The truth is much simpler and much more tragic. From acclaimed director Park Chan-wook; JOINT SECURITY AREA is at once a lyrical story of friendship and an examination of precarious international relations.

 

 

Distributor: Umbrella Entertainment

Both films are limited to 2000 units, so it's unlikely that we will get it in NZ. Fingers crossed though.
