Same here, I've only upgraded a handful of existing Blu-rays. I was saying strictly about Blu-ray only new releases, which I guess is mostly a mental thing of not being released in a superior format.

Adam Tyner

Fox has the first two; Lionsgate has part 3. Lionsgate is interested in releasing as many of their titles on UHD BD as possible; Fox, not so much.

Adam Tyner

The original Hellboy is coming March 5th.

Better be the goddamn director's cut (or both).

joltman

Be nice if they could include all of the features from the 3 disc DVD too

Kedrix

Ha, I was just thinking about that. Still holding on to this bad boy and never bought the blu-ray:

Hell Fest, unexpectedly, is coming to UHD BD on January 8th. Dolby Vision / DTS:X.

Adam Tyner

I wasn't expecting to see this coming!



New 4K scan.

Spiderbite

^Hope the transfer isn't fucked up like the Shout Special Edition was. It was literally unwatchable.

Adam Tyner

Hopefully not! It’s a new transfer from the original negative (which Scream reported was lost).

Also, it looks like Studiocanal is releasing Don’t Look Now sometime next year.

In case the image didn't load for anyone, it's a German UHD Blu-ray of Dog Solders. It's not due out until Feb 28, 2019.

Amazon.fr is listing Captain America: The First Avenger as a February release on Ultra HD Blu-ray.

Adam Tyner

Looks like Doctor Strange is arriving on January 15th. On Amazon.com and everything! That’ll be some HDR goodness.

E Unit

Nice, I like that they’re dropping all of the Marvel movies onto UHD so fast. Hopefully we’ll have them all by the time Avengers 4 comes.

Dan

Dammit, when the hell are we getting ROGUE ONE? It's the only modern SW flick with no UHD in any region.

Adam Tyner

The Force Awakens isn’t on Ultra HD Blu-ray either.

Dan

right! For some reason, I was sure that I had a UHD copy of TFA in my MA library, but... I don't.

So both TFA and RO need UHD releases.

Adam Tyner

With as keen as Disney is on the reissue-an-earlier-movie-on-home-video-before-the-new-one-hits-theaters, I'm genuinely surprised we didn't get at least one of those alongside Solo. I loaned my wife's stepfather TFA on Blu-ray before I ever had a chance to watch it, and he somehow managed to damage it to the point where it doesn't play reliably, so I'm in the market for a new release anyway.

Darth Maher

I still am a bit confused as to why they didn't put out the first Ant Man on 4K when the sequel was released.

Viper187

So can anyone explain why the fuck the 3 old Rambo movies got a 4K release but not the fucking 4th one that should obviously have a 4K master available!?

Adam Tyner

The 2008 Rambo doesn't have a 4K master available. It was finished in 2K. Lionsgate could upscale it and give it an HDR grade, and they probably will when the inevitable box set comes out (which is what was originally rumored).

There was a big ol' Ultra HD Blu-ray conference in France, and all sorts of announcements have come out of this, among them:

March
Dawn of the Dead (another European release; ESC Editions)
Backdraft (Universal)

April
American Gangster (Universal)

June
Any remaining Fast/Furious flicks (Universal)

July
Scarface (Universal)

TBD 2019
War of the Worlds (Paramount)
Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan (Paramount)
Gravity (Warner)
The Polar Express (Warner)
Heat (Warner)
Lawrence of Arabia (Sony)
Ben Hur (Warner)
Panic Room (Sony)
Stargate Origins
The Mask of Zorro (Sony)
The Legend of Zorro (Sony)
Mad Max High Octane Collection (Warner)
Hanna Barbera Diamond Collection (Warner)

Dan

^ I'd buy Gravity, Heat, and maybe Panic Room in a heartbeat. Max Max, too, if it has the black & chrome version of Fury Road in 4K.

Will that Dawn of the Dead release have the original or extended in 4K, or just the Argento cut, same as the set that's already out there? I'd double dip if the other versions are upgraded.

E Unit

Lawrence of Arabia was also announced for release Spring 2019.

Adam Tyner

Their crowdfunding page lists a new transfer for the Cannes cut as well, and...maybe I’m making bad assumptions because they’re a French label, but maybe that’ll be 4K as well. They haven’t spelled that out either way.

I don’t think we’ll see the domestic cut until Rubenstein comes to terms with the fact that the 3D craze has ended and that the home video market isn’t what it used to be.
