Christina Yao's Special Jury Award winner at the 2009 Shanghai Film Festival is planned for Blu-ray next month.
In an early announcement to retailers, NeoClassics is working on 'Empire of Silver' for Blu-ray on April 16.
China, 1899. In a land of exquisite beauty and timeless tradition a hedonistic young man known as 'Third Master' is the heir to a banking empire he cares little about. However, after his brother's wife is kidnapped he reluctantly submits to the pressure of his title as well as his overbearing father, Lord Kang. Lord Kang is determined to prepare his son for financial leadership by molding Third Master into his own image. The ruthless businessman's unethical practices do not sit well with Third Master, who sees the salvation of his country in the redistribution of its massive silver cache. The tense relationship is further complicated by Third Master's undying love for his beautiful young stepmother, his first and only love stolen from him by his own father. The fate of the country and it's most powerful family now lies with one idealistic young man torn between the needs of the people, the greed of his father, and the undying love of woman.
The Blu-ray will feature 1080p video, a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack, and supplements haven't been revealed yet.
Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $34.98.

'The Hedgehog' Announced for Blu-ray
Tue May 22, 2012 at 01:00 PM ETTags: NeoClassics, Disc Announcements (all tags)
The funny and heart-breaking film based on the worldwide best-selling novel "The Elegance of the Hedgehog" by Muriel Barbery is bound for Blu-ray in June.
In an early announcement to retailers, NeoClassics Films will be releasing 'The Hedgehog' on Blu-ray on June 12.
'The Hedgehog' is the touching coming-of-age story of Paloma (Garance Le Guillemic), a gifted young girl hellbent on ending it all on her upcoming twelfth birthday. Using her father’s old camcorder to chronicle the hypocrisy she sees in adults, Paloma begins to learn about life from her stuffy building “concierge,” Renée ('French Twist’s Josiane Balasko). When Paloma’s camera reveals an extensive secret library in Renée’s back room, and that the usually gruff matron reads Tolstoy to her cat, Paloma begins to understand that there are allies to be found beneath the prickliest of exteriors. As an unlikely friendship deepens, her own coming of age becomes a much less pessimistic prospect.
'The Hedgehog' was a Washington Post Critic’s Pick and the winner of the Seattle International Film Festival’s Space Needle Award for Best Picture. It also won audience awards at FilmFest DC, the COL-COA (City of Light/City of Angels) Film Festival and Best of Fest at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. 'The Hedgehog' is Mona Achache’s feature film debut.
Specs haven't been revealed yet, but supplements include deleted scenes, photo gallery, and a Blu-ray exclusive behind-the-scenes documentary.
Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $34.98.

The French spy thriller also known as 'L'Affaire Farewell' will infiltrate Blu-ray in April!
In an early announcement to retailers, NeoClassics will release 'Farewell' on Blu-ray on April 19.
'Farewell' is the riveting true story of a KGB colonel who, disenchanted with what the Communist ideal has become under Leonid Brezhnev, gives top-secret documents to a French businessman working in Russia, helping to hasten the end of the Cold War. He didn’t do this for money, but rather that a new world might dawn for his fellow Russians, but especially for his son.
Based on the book Bonjour Farewell by Serguei Kostine, the film, directed by Christian Carion (Academy Award® nominated 'Joyeux Noel'), boasts a strong international cast starring two noted film directors who are also respected actors, Guillaume Canet ('The Beach;' 'Merry Christmas,' 'Tell No One') and Emir Kusturica ('The Good Thief,' 'Underground,' 'Arizona Dream'). The ensemble also includes Alexandra Maria Lara, Ingeborda Dapkunaite, Diane Kruger, Willem Dafoe, Fred Ward and David Soul.
Specs and supplements have yet to be detailed, but suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $39.98.
