A little late, sure, but Kino International has finally decided to join everyone else and go
Blu-ray exclusive. Reportedly, the foreign film distributor has become the latest indie to bid HD DVD a fond farewell and focus its future support on BD. We haven't seen a definitive launch date for its first Blu-ray title (which is likely to be Wong Kar Wai's
Fallen Angels), but word on the street has it launching sometime this fall. We're also told that Kino has "a number of [other] Blu-ray releases in the works," but it seems that we'll have to wait things out before discovering which titles it's referencing.

This could be a problem for HD-DVD.

I love Fallen Angels. It's my favorite Wong Kar Wai film. Definite purchase for me.
