CYFgirl recently emailed Celestial Pictures about "Women" and this is what they have to say:

Email received 10 February 2004:

Thanks for your enquiry.

"Women" starring Chow Yun-Fat is scheduled to be released next year.

Due to the huge volume of very technical and meticulous restoration work that is required on each single frame of negatives of our precious Shaw library, we are sorry that we can't release all of the wonderful films all at once to the fans, but please be rest assured that your waiting will be worth the while as we will bring you your favorite Shaw film in its best possible when we release it.

Thank you for your understanding, your patience and continuous support.

Best regards

An older email:

Thank you for your email enquiry.

Please be informed that we are now diligently restoring all 760 Shaw Brothers movies in our library frame by frame so the audience would be able to see them in their original sound and picture quality. Hence it is a mega project that takes over 3 years involving 30 professionals working round the clock in 3 different shifts.

We can only release 5 - 20 movies each month depending on the seasonality and other conditions. Please be rest assured that "Women" is in our release plan.

Please visit our website: www.CelestialPictures.com regularly for our releases updates.

We thank you for your patience and continued support in Celestial's Shaw Brothers movies.

Best regards.
