I'm skeptical about the Jodorowskys. Other retailers like Barnes & Noble and Deep Discount list them as traditional Blu-ray, which makes more sense at that price point and proximity to the box set's release.

Haven’t seen Big Fish in years. I liked it at the time but not sure it’s worth purchasing for me.

Not only will the new edition of the movie, which features Ben Affleck's Batman squaring off against Henry Cavill's Superman, restore the IMAX aspect ratio, but it will also fix an issue with the reds.

Re: UHD release announcements
Now that Disney+ has launched 'Star' - their adult section on the streaming network, a few films are conspicuous in their absence. Three of them, we have been exclusively told, are currently undergoing a 4K remaster ahead of their debut on the service alongside a 4K Blu-ray release of each of the films.
Aliens, Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrectionare the only films in the Alien series not to have 4K editions available but this is set to change with the plan being to release them on Disney+/Star initially with a subsequent 4K Alien Collection heading to 4K Blu-ray some time in 2022.
We are trying to clarify what we can expect in terms of the versions of the films included in the set - both Aliens and Alien 3 have highly regarded director's cuts on other formats, so we hope they'll make it to 4K in some way too. We also expect the 4K Blu-ray releases to include new features and footage that has previously not been made available. We're trying to confirm more on this right now.

Put my order in for Batman V Superman at Target just in case. $5.99 for shipping though.

Re: UHD release announcements
It’s listed as a Warner Archive release, and none of their Blu-ray releases — despite being MOD — are on BD-Rs. I wouldn’t expect this to be any different.
Although I’m skeptical that it’s actually from Warner Archive. The price point and digital copy aren’t very Archive-y.

Re: UHD release announcements
Wouldn't this be the first UHD for Warner Archive? And has anyone released MOD UHDs yet?

Re: UHD release announcements
Also, interestingly I searched on Amazon for the UPC that Target has listed and found
which says Blu-ray in the title and the packaging has a blue case but also says 4K Ultra HD

Re: UHD release announcements
Ok, I haven’t seen any version of this flick but I seem to recall folks going nuts over other flicks that had IMAX sequences on the Blu-ray, what’s the difference here?

Re: UHD release announcements
If you have any of The Dark Knight 4K discs, they have IMAX sequences but they were formatted to 1.78:1 to fill most of 4K TV’s. Most IMAX shot ratios are 1.43:1, which on 4K TV’s look like old school TV shows shown pillarbox. Snyder wants the full IMAX ratio for these releases, so we’ll see all IMAX scenes as pillarbox.

Did the previous BvS UHD have 16:9 for IMAX sequences, or was it scope all the way through?

Re: UHD release announcements
Right, I’m not sure about BvS, but if Snyder plans on doing the IMAX scenes pillarbox style for Justice League, then we can assume he’ll do it for the remastered BvS. But I haven’t heard any specs for that one yet. And really, we don’t have the specs for new version of Justice League either. We just know that’s how it’s being shown on HBO Max.
