HAZE. by Shinya Tsukamoto. R2 UK DVD Announced from New Label 'Terra' for April 24th 2006.

New label, new range of titles, some already released by Media Blasters in the USA, some appear to be 'first time on DVD' releases. Thing is, checking play.com and some of the titles stand up, dates may be different but they're in there for preorder already. 'Haze' isn't though, no BBFC listing either so it's not certified yet or the BBFC need to keep on top of their website a little more. Anyway, I trust whoever is behind Terra has actually licensed the film before announcing it via a site as popular as DVDTimes, if not then it's a bad start : basically, this needs clarification and could shift slightly, for now this is me saying 'Blimey! Already! Really?!' about Tsukamoto's lengthened short-film 'Haze' making it out on DVD somewhere - and the UK first at that.

Not even seen a trailer for it, and it's not in the Cinemas in Japan just yet. Worried also about the fact that Tsukamoto has extended the film form 20 or so minutes to something like 50 minutes, so there's two versions drifting around. The company has also announced 'The Suicide Manual', 'Hellevator' (aka 'Gusher No Binds Me'), Takashi Komatsu's 'Persona', Katsuya Matsumura's 'Kirei', Yukihiko Tsutsumi's 'Keizoku' for release over the next eight months or so.
