Disney has just announced LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures – Season Two for DVD release on 3/13.

And finally today, two other things worth noting...First, the James Bond films are now available for viewing in 4K on iTunes. I haven’t seen them myself, but I hear good things. There’s no word yet of 4K Ultra HD releases of any of them, though it seems likely to be considered closer to the next Bond film arriving in theaters.

Also, the trailer for Duncan Jones’ next film, Mute, has just landed on YouTube. Jones considers the film, a science fiction tale that debuts exclusively on Netflix on 2/23, a spiritual sequel to his earlier Moon (2009). It certainly looks stunning. You can watch the trailer here...

All right, that’s enough for today. Stay tuned...
