In addition to the three new Steelbooks, there will also be a site-exclusive Steelbook of Reservoir Dogs (1991), which Lionsgate has already released widely in 4K UHD.
Note that Jackie Brown, Kill Bill: Volume 1, and Kill Bill: Volume 2 have all been remastered from new 4K scans of the original camera negatives. We’ve shared all the specs and details here at The Bits last night. But we thought you might appreciate a look at the cover artwork for all of these new 4K SKUs, including both the Steelbook and wide-release art, so here it is...
As you can see, we also included the cover artwork for David Fincher’s Panic Room and The Social Network, which Sony has recently announced for 4K Steelbook release on 2/18. That’s because both are now available for pre-order on Amazon by clicking on the cover images.
We’re not done yet: Sony has also just announced the 4K Ultra HD release of Howard Zieff’s My Girl (1991) on 2/25. Mastered from a new 4K scan and approved by cinematographer Paul Elliot, the disc will include Dolby Vision HDR, English 5.1 DTS-HD MA and English 2.0 audio, as well as the legacy special features.
Finally today, our friends at StudioCanal in the UK have just officially announced the 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD release of Anthony Harvey’s The Lion in Winter (1968) on February 17th in the UK only. But the 4K disc will be coded for Regions A, B, and C. The film stars Peter O’Toole, Katharine Hepburn, Anthony Hopkins, and Timothy Dalton. Extras will include 2 new featurettes (The Heart of a Lion: An Interview with Sir Anthony Hopkins and Shooting Stars: An Interview with Camera Assistant Robin Vidgeon), along with legacy interviews with John Castle and John Bloom, and audio commentary by Anthony Harvey. You’ll also get a new behind-the-scenes gallery, and the new restoration trailer. You can see the cover artwork above left and also here (click to pre-order the title on Amazon UK)...
And here’s a look at that restoration trailer...
That’s all for the moment. Stay tuned!
