Sony Pictures has announced that it will be releasing Zhang Yimou's most recent A Woman, A Gun And A Noodle Shop on Blu-ray next February 1st. Technical specifications are not yet available, but according to the announcement, the disc will only have single 'making of' feature for supplemental material. The suggested retail price is $38.96, but can currently be pre-ordered on Amazon for much less. Of course, it will also be available on standard DVD, as well.

The film is a remake of the Coen Brothers' Blood Simple transported to feudal China.The original film was a noirish thriller set in Texas about a bar owner who hires a private detective to kill his wife and her lover. Yimou's remake, on the other hand is a thriller-comedy set in a noodle shop in a desert.

Thanks to High-Def Digest for the heads up.
