IIRC, there was an import BD/HDDVD or something? I’ve seen a HD transfer floating around
I think Arrow Video tackled it at some point.

On DVD; Arrow said that the source material they had access to wasn’t up to HD standards. I know there was a BD in Japan; not sure how that turned out or if anything else worthwhile ever showed up till now.

That's truly wonderful news, as the Blu-ray is an old, low-bitrate, old scan, and VC-1 encode if I remember correctly. Having this favorite in wonderful remastered 4k will be a day one purchase for me.

At least we won’t have to harass them about making it widescreen.

I pre-ordered the non-limited edition of Prospect 4K disc. Couldn't justify the $10 extra for trading cards and a slip, so this will do.

You will wish you had sprung for the extra 10 bucks when you are selling it later on eBay.

Criterion is scared to death its customer base would then skip all their regular Blu-ray releases, waiting on a possible UHD. They don't want UHD cannibalizing their existing, profitable business.

I can see why Criterion, who lives at the mercy of licensing most content, being squeamish about UHD.

I get all the concerns. They all flew right out the window the moment every mom and pop boutique in the land started doing their own uhds. But whatever. We've been over all of this before.

Re: UHD release announcements

Yeah, at this point it's kinda laughable. These smaller boutique labels doing all kinds of schlock* on 4K releases and Criterion with decades of experience still sleeping on the format is just not good.

Re: UHD release announcements

Criterion is somewhat overrated anyways if you ask me. They’re not the be all end all boutique label anymore. At one time maybe, but there are many more that release a range of interesting/important titles and do them with as much care and special features.

Of course there are other boutiques that do just as a good a job as Criterion, but until Arrow or Kino or Vinegar Syndrome or whomever start releasing the Janus catalog or any of the other dozens/hundreds of titles Criterion licences on 4k, that's kind of irrelevant.
