ADV Films Announces Release Date for Yesterday
ADV FILMS ANNOUNCES RELEASE DATE FOR YESTERDAY
HOUSTON, August 12, 2004— ADV Films, the #1 producer-distributor of anime in the U.S., is proud to announce a street date of September 28, 2004 for the DVD release of Yesterday, one of the biggest films to ever hit the hot Asian action genre.
The vanguard of a new wave of South Korean cinema that is taking international audiences by storm, Yesterday, has already scaled its way into the top ten in its native country and joins 2009: Lost Memories (also distributed by ADV Films) and Volcano High as the new cutting edge in science fiction thrillers.
Set in the futuristic Inner City of a unified Korea circa 2020 A.D. — A series of grisly murders propel an overworked police investigator and a celebrated forensics profiler into a nightmarish spiral of death and discovery. Can they unravel the mystery, which has haunted authorities for nearly 30 years?
Yesterday (SRP $19.98 DVD) is a DVD-only release, including a 120-minute movie in both English 5.1 and Korean 2.0 language versions with English subtitles. Extras include: original Korean trailer, Yesterday movie highlights, the making of Yesterday, interviews with Korean cast and crew, and ADV previews.
