Columbia Confirms Cowboy Bebop Movie Distribution

A new press flyer distributed by Columbia Pictures provides the first public information on Columbia’s new home video subdivision Destination Films. “Destination Films,” the advertisement states, will be “a destination for eclectic, quality films like anime, shorts, cult movies and more.” The initial line-up of confirmed Destination Films titles includes Metropolis, “Cowboy Bebop: The Movie,” Jackie Chan’s Drunken Master and Snake in Eagle’s Shadow, John Woo’s Once a Thief and Ringo Lam’s Full Contact – both starring Chow Yun Fat, the massively popular 1999 Korean special-forces/police action film Shiri, “An Evening with Kevin Smith,” the big budget 2000 action film from India Mission Kashmir, and the 1993 rap music “mockumentary” Fear of a Black Hat.
