Now then, in announcement news today, Universal has revealed a new Back to the Future: 40th Anniversary Trilogy for release on 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray on 10/14. Also coming that day will be new 4K Steelbook editions of each of the three films in the trilogy. It appears that the set will include a new bonus disc (as well as the previous one). New special features will include Back to Hill Valley (16 mins), Untold Stories of Back to the Future (36 mins), A Mystery in History (9 mins), 40 Years Later: Reflecting on The Future (24 mins), and TCM Classic Film Festival Panel 2025 (15 mins). We don’t have any information however that these are new remasters—most likely they’re the existing discs repackaged.

It appears that Warner Bros. is going to be re-issuing their Superman: 5-Film Collection in 4K Ultra HD on 10/21, and reissuing Superman: The Movie in 4K as well that same day. This package is a wide-release version of new Amazon-exclusive box set that streets next week on 9/2. We assume that it will feature all the new fixed 4K discs that correct many errors discovered by fans in the 2023 set.

On that note once again, if you have that original 2023 set, you can get the new corrected discs from Warner by emailing their customer service at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Include some kind of proof of purchase (a packaging shot, a proof of order snapshot, a receipt photo, etc). You may or may not get an email reply, but they will take your address and send the fixed discs when they become available (which should be later this month). To my knowledge, no one has yet received the fixed discs, but the moment I hear that people are getting them—or get my own hands on them—I’ll let everyone know.

While we’re talking Warner Bros., we’ve confirmed that they will be releasing Joseph Kosinski’s F1: The Movie (2025) on Blu-ray and 4K UHD in the next couple of months—it won’t just be an Apple TV+ streaming release. So watch for more information soon.

Meanwhile, Paramount is releasing The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) as a 4K UHD single on 11/4. It had been released previously as part of the ZAZ: The Collection! 4K box set last year.

Paramount will also release Yellowstone: The Complete Series on Blu-ray on 11/18.

And Shout Factory will be releasing their new 4K Ultra HD and 4K Steelbook edition of Hideaki Anno’s Shin Godzilla (2016) on 10/28. It will feature HDR10 high dynamic range and DTS-HD Master Audio.

Also today, CrunchyRoll will release Attack on Titan: The Complete Final Season on Blu-ray Steelbook on 11/25.

Adult Swim has set Rick and Morty: Season Eight for Blu-ray and DVD release on 11/11.

And PBS has just set The American Revolution: A Film by Ken Burns (2025) for Blu-ray and DVD release on 11/18. I’m really looking forward to this series. It includes all 13 episodes on 6 discs.

Also today, our friends at Arrow Video have finally teased their November 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray announcement, which is due to happen on their social media on Friday morning. But as you’ll know if you read our post here on Friday, retail sources—including Zavvi—have already leaked the title list, which includes Chuck Russell’s The Mask (1994), Wilder’s The Apartment (1960), Christian Tafdrup’s Speak No Evil (2022), Antony’s Hoffman’s Red Planet (2000), Peter Hyams’ Outland (1981), and Wes Craven’s Deadly Friend (1986). We’ll share the official details and all the cover artwork here on The Bits when Arrow finally reveals them.

Here’s a look at some of Criterion’s recently announced November slate, with Amazon.com pre-order links…

That’s all for now! Stay tuned…
