Asian movie murders and executions – I mean, mergers and acquisitions

They changed the name so Pixar wouldn't sue

Today Crunchyroll reports that Funimation has acquired the rights to Hong Kong superhero parody “Incredibly Ever After” (known as “Mr. and Mrs. Incredible” in Hong Kong). The film follows retired superheroes Gazer Man (Louis Koo) and Aroma Woman (Sandra Ng), and is set for a DVD release in the fall of 2012.

Here’s some older news but still good to know: Twitch Film reported earlier in the month that Well Go USA acquired the domestic rights to the John Woo-produced, two-part Taiwanese epic “Seediq Blade.” It’s unknown whether Well Go will release the truncated international version of the film or the lengthier two-parter.

In addition, Well Go USA obtained the rights to Andrew Lau’s action epic “The Flying Guillotines” and the Cecilia Cheung-starring “The Legendary Amazons.”  Since it’s Well Go USA, we can expect glorious blu-ray releases for all these titles as long as hi-def materials are available.
