(You can watch video of Smith confirming this here on X.) The street date is TBA, but our sources say there will lots of great new extras and there should be both an exclusive 4K Steelbook version from Lionsgate Limited as well as a wide-release 4K SKU.

All right, we’ve reached the Friday of another long summer week—San Diego Comic-Con week as it happens (more on that in a minute, and trust me—some of you guys are going to love what I’m going to tell you)—and The Bits website seems to be holding steady after all our recent upgrades.

And Tim’s reviews of Franco Prosperi’s Wild Beasts (1984) in 4K and Roy Ward Baker’s Asylum (1972) in 4K Ultra HD from Severin Films.

Speaking of Severin Films, the company is currently running their Summer Sale event on their website featuring lots of great deals, new Blu-ray and 4K announcements and more. To that end, we’ve got reviews coming here of Can Evrenol’s Baskin (2015) Ben Wheatley’s Kill List (2011), and Ruggero Deodato’s The House on the Edge of the Park (1980) in 4K, as well as Lamberto Bava’s Monster Shark (1984) and Tonio Ricci’s Night of the Sharks (1988) on Blu-ray.

Now then, I’ve also posted a new Patreon blog entry asking the question: Why Aren’t More 4K Ultra HD Titles Released on 100GB Discs? And the reason might surprise you! You’ll find that here for our subscribers on The Bits’ Patreon page. Keep in mind, we have great and very affordable options for subscribing, and we have big plans for expanding our coverage of 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD there in addition to everything we do here on the website. And as I mentioned yesterday, it’s a great way to help support our work here at The Bits and we really appreciate it very much. [Read on here...]
