Source: Palisades Tartan Our friends over at Palisades have announced that Park Chan Wook's brilliant The Vengeance Trilogy "originally set for November has been pushed back until March for a simultaneous release with its blu-ray counterpart."

With dark humor and even darker storylines, Park's Trilogy is an absolutely amazing experience that you shouldn't miss!

SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE is the first film in Park Chan-Wook’s acclaimed Vengeance trilogy. The sister of a simple and deaf factory worker, Ryu, falls ill and needs a kidney transplant, however he is not a match so he looks to the black market which he can’t afford. After being fired from his job, his rebel girlfriend suggests that he kidnap the child of his former boss, Park. When the girl accidentally dies, her father seeks vengeance for her death.

OLDBOY is Park Chan-Wook’s classic genre-defining revenge tale of a man who’s wrongly been imprisoned for 15 years and is then suddenly released. Given money and a cell phone, he’s challenged to discover who incarcerated him in the first place, but he only has five days to uncover the truth. Even with a mysterious young girl to help him, his tortures have just begun.

In LADY VENGEANCE, after being wrongfully convicted of kidnapping and murdering a young child, a beautiful young woman (Lee Young-ae) is imprisoned for 13 years. While in prison she gains the respect and loyalty of her fellow cellmates, all the while plotting her vendetta on the man responsible (OLDBOY’s Choi Min-Sik). Upon her release she sets in motion an elaborate plan of retribution, but what she discovers is a truth so horrifying, even revenge doesn’t seem punishment enough.

Extras on the DVD box set include audio commentary by Park Chan Wook, Eli Roth cast and crew; character interviews, festival featurettes, photo galleries, notes, Making of footage, deleted scenes and more!

We'll have Blu-ray cover art and edition details on the set as soon as they come in, but in the meantime you can check out the DVD specs for this classic collection.
