Really hoping that Arrow goes the extra mile and releases A Chinese Ghost Story trilogy and Swordsman Trilogy in 4K

I'm really happy Shout went through the rigamarole to acquire the GP library. As such, I've bought every single one of their releases to support the notion that people want these films. That said, I'm flabbergasted one of the tentpole titles, A Chinese Ghost Story, has only been given the 1080 treatment, despite 4K scans. Swordsman as well (at least the first has a 4K). So far, only the French label HK video has done ACGS in 4K. I'm not sure why this is the way it is, but I'm really hoping Arrow gives this set the treatment it deserves. I would happily even buy chonky versions of each release separately.

Please Arrow!

Also, RIP Mr. Stella, and, as usual, great artwork.

Do we think any other, maybe less expensive, labels will release anything like the King Hu set from Imprint?

The set looks really nice but US 200-210 bucks is steep. It's fairly in line with their typically high prices. Do we think anyone else might take a shot at this? I don't know who owns the rights in the US, but I assume it's a mix of Arrow, Criterion, etc
