Re: Hero is coming to theaters in the US.

Yes, imports too.
Who ever is showing the movie, owns the distribution rights for the US. That mean that no importer based in the US, is *suposed* to sell the DVDs here. Some still do, and you can still buy them from foreign companies. It happens all the time. Mirimax/Disney is famous for buying the rights to films abroad.
This is why I try to keep tabs on current movies coming out of Asia, because it can be difficult to buy. I had this problem with Shoalin Soccer. Now you can finnaly get the butchered US version, but not the original. Other movies? Hero, Infernal affairs, a few others. That's also why there are different versions of movies-different companies have the rights in different countries.
On the plus side, It will probably be available as R1 soon.
Director's cut? I have the DTS version. Wonderfull movie-it may be the best quality DVD I have out of HK.
enjoy,
Jack
