Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark in 4K from VinSyn, plus Beatles Anthology on Blu-ray, Altman’s Popeye in 4K & more!
We’re going to do a bit of an early 2026 4K new round-up here at The Bits today, catching you all up on the latest announcements and release news from our industry sources.
First though, a few more new disc reviews…
Stuart has taken a look at the BBC’s Death Valley: Season One on DVD from Warner Bros.
Dennis has given William Keighley’s The Bride Came C.O.D. (1941) on Blu-ray from the Warner Archive Collection.
And Stephen has offered his thoughts on Neil Marshall’s The Descent (2005) as found in a new 20th Anniversary 4K Steelbook from Lionsgate Limited.
As always, more new disc reviews are forthcoming, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for them.
Now then, just as a quick reminder, we recently revealed here on The Bits (see this link) that Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment is planning a very nice slate of 4K catalog releases for 2026, including William Wyler’s Ben-Hur (1959) and Alan J. Pakula’s All the President’s Men (1976)—already set for release on 2/17—as well as Chuck Russell’s Eraser (1996), Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity (2013), Tim Burton’s Mars Attacks! (1996), Neil Jordan’s Interview with the Vampire (1994), Victor Fleming’s Gone with the Wind (1939), and P. T. Anderson’s Magnolia (1999) which are all TBA for later this year.
Then on New Year’s Eve, we broke the news (see this link) that Warner is also planning a new 4K Ultra HD release of the Wachowski’s Speed Racer (2008) this year as well. [Read on here...]
