The Asian Blu-ray GuideCriterion Collection celebrates Akira Kurosawa with Yojimbo and Sanjuro on Blu-ray Disc
The Criterion Collection team announced to celebrate the 100th birthday of Japanese mastermind director Akira Kurosawa Blu-ray-style! According to their news update, they will release Kurosawa’s Yojimbo and Sanjuro, both starring the wonderful Toshiro Mifune, for the first time on Blu-ray Disc (probably locked to Region A) with English subtitles on March 23, 2010. Both films are already available on BD in Japan in the Akira Kurosawa Masterworks Collections, but Toho did not include English subtitles on these releases.
Originally CC also planned to release Seven Samurai in March, but due to additional restoration processes the film will come later in 2010.

“To answer the most frequently asked question: yes, we will be releasing separately the five titles in the set that had previously been unavailable from Criterion: Sanshiro Sugata; The Most Beautiful; Sanshiro Sugata, Part Two; The Men Who Tread on the Tiger’s Tail; and Madadayo.”
Danke für den Link…. Ich bin so happy. Sind alle gekauft

Anscheinend ist diese Info auf dem im Post zitierten Link von Criterion erst preis gegeben, später jedoch wieder entfernt worden. Ob das nun stimmt oder nicht, kann ich daher auch nicht sagen.
Mir wär es auch recht, wenn Tiger’s Tail noch ins Eclipse set mit reinkommt.
