In ‘Hindsight,’ CJ Entertainment has ‘No Mercy’ for American audiences

"Hindsight" Korean Theatrical Poster

Over at Beyond Hollywood, Todd Rigney reports that CJ Entertainment America, the US branch of Korea’s biggest movie studio, is planning to release a couple of its films in North America. No Mercy and Hindsight will both hit DVD in North America on July 31st, 2012. A Blu-ray release for both titles is expected to follow shortly thereafter.

Traditionally, Asian movie studios have licensed out their films to American distributors. Perhaps this is a sign of things to come: soon enough, Asian studios with enough money behind them could bypass the middle man and put their movies directly in North American consumers’ hands.

If you’re can’t wait another month to see No Mercy, the medical-themed Korean thriller is already streaming in HD on Netflix. We’ve previously discussed Hindsight over here.
