> For reasons often speculated about but never formally confirmed by the studio itself, Disney has released the vast majority of its films on 4K Blu-ray disc mastered in only the ‘basic’ HDR10 high dynamic range format, rather than the popular premium Dolby Vision format. This is about to change, though, with Disney confirming to me that starting with “Deadpool & Wolverine” and followed shortly after by “Alien: Romulus”, Dolby Vision can be expected to turn up on most if not all of its future 4K Blu-ray releases. > > This really is big news for home cinema fans. Dolby Vision adds extra scene by scene image data to HDR video streams, typically helping compatible displays deliver more dynamic, balanced and more accurate HDR pictures than they can achieve by applying their own ‘tone mapping’ systems to relatively basic HDR10 feeds. So Disney not including Dolby Vision masters on any of its 4K Blu-ray releases—aside from titles overseen by James Cameron—since 2018’s “The Last Jedi” has long been a source of frustration to AV fans who, not unreasonably, want the premium home entertainment format to deliver the very best AV experience. > > Adding to the frustration about Disney not including Dolby Vision on the vast majority of its 4K Blu-ray releases for the past six years is the way the studio has typically provided Dolby Vision with its streaming masters. Including those provided on its own Disney+ streaming service. > > ... > > Disney didn’t confirm to me the exact reason for its Dolby Vision change of heart when it comes to forthcoming 4K Blu-ray discs. It may simply be the brand responding at last to years of customer demand, but I suspect it more likely has something to do with the deal Disney struck with Sony back in February where the latter will take over production of Disney’s physical media releases. > > ... > > It might be nice if Disney also started using 100GB (rather than 66GB) discs more routinely for its 4K Blu-ray releases now that they’re going to include Dolby Vision masters, but for the most part I’m pretty content to just take this new development for the win that it is.

GUESS WHAT'S ON THE MENU? YOU ARE! The Krites have landed! Carnivorous creatures from outer space! Vicious vermin with very sharp teeth! The beloved sci-fi/comedy-horror franchise makes its UK Blu-ray debut in this special edition box set from Arrow Video. A smart homage to 1950's B-movies, Critters sees a group of small but toothy extra terrestrials escape from an alien prison and land in small-town America with two shape-shifting bounty hunters in hot pursuit. Directed by Stephen Herek (Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure) and starring genre stalwarts Dee Wallace (The Howling) and M. Emmet Walsh (Blood Simple), the film was a smash-hit on home video, launching a franchise for the ravenous furry fiends. Two years later, Critters 2: The Main Course sees the Krites come back for seconds as leftover eggs hatch and attack the rural town of Grover's Bend. Directed by Mick Garris (Sleepwalkers) with a script co-written by David Twohy (Pitch Black), Critters 2 is one big ball of toothy delight. Celebrated horror author and screenwriter David J. Schow (The Crow) comes aboard for Critters 3, bringing the Krites to the big city. Marking the feature film debut of none other than Leonardo DiCaprio (Django Unchained), it was shot simultaneously with the darker, less comedic Critters 4, in which the ferocious furballs battle series stalwart Charlie (Don Opper, Android) in outer space, featuring a cast that includes Angela Bassett (Strange Days) and Brad Dourif (Child's Play). A four course feast of fun, fur, fear and fangs, served with a platter of new and archive extras to whet your appetite!

Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes go head-to-head in this classic sci-fi/action blockbuster from Joel Silver, the producer of Die Hard and The Matrix. In 2032, arch criminal Simon Phoenix (Snipes) awakens from a 35-year deep freeze in CryoPrison to find a world where crime is almost non-existent – a serene utopia ripe for the taking.

> The details of Freddy Krueger’s ratty red-and-green sweater and knife-tipped glove will look extra horrific when A Nightmare on Elm Street, Wes Craven‘s 1984 slasher classic, arrives on 4K UHD just in time for a spooky season re-watch. To mark the occasion, io9 got to speak with its stars, Heather Langenkamp (who plays smart yet sleepy final girl Nancy Thompson) and Robert Englund (the dream demon himself), about their experiences making the film—and whether they’d be willing to get back in character again. > > Cheryl Eddy, io9: Which scene in A Nightmare on Elm Street do you think will benefit the most from the 4K UHD upgrade? > >Robert Englund: Here’s the thing. What we have to remember—and it’s difficult for me because I always wanted to be a movie actor—I always imagined Nightmare on Elm Street playing in a movie theater. But most of our fans discovered this film as part of the video generation. So they saw it less than perfect. Their memories of it are less than perfect. They have great memories of sharing it with mom and dad, or a stepdad or a step-mom, or brothers and sisters, you know, fresh from the video store, running home with a copy. But a lot of them also saw old, dog-eared copies that had been lying around in the bookshelf for a while or passed around the dormitory. This is an opportunity to see this better than Heather and I’ve ever seen it. To see it absolutely pristine and enhanced, you know, ultra high def 4K. I just had this experience with the old Alfred Hitchcock film Rear Window; it was mind blowing to see it in my living room, that perfect and wonderful. And I’m so looking forward to this. And there’s some new stuff [in the “uncut” version, included in the remastered release along with the theatrical version], right? > > ... > > A Nightmare on Elm Street hits 4K Ultra HD on Digital October 1; it will be available on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, Fandango at Home, and more. The Blu-ray 4K UHD arrives October 15. The 4K UHD remaster includes both the theatrical and uncut versions; the latter features eight additional seconds of unrated footage. > >Other previously released special features included are as follows, according to a Warner Bros. press release: > >* Ready Freddy Focus Points >* Commentary with Wes Craven, Robert Englund, Heather Langenkamp, Ronnie Blakely, Robert Shaye, and Sara Risher. >* Commentary with Wes Craven, Heather Langenkamp, John Saxon, and Jacques Haitkin. >* Alternate endings >* The House that Freddy Built: The Legacy of New Line Horror >* Never Sleep Again: A Nightmare on Elm Street >* Night Terrors: The Origins of Wes Craven’s Nightmares

Streamed it first to see if it was worth buying on disc, it is. They have a really cool commentary feature where the image is shrunk to a 4:3 image so they can split it top and bottom. The top image is the film as presented, the bottom image is the raw footage before visual effects were applied. It lets you see how much of the film was digital and how much was practical. Complete with commentary. https://ew.com/kingdom-of-the-planet-of-the-apes-side-by-side-raw-cut-with-unfinished-vfx-clip-exclusive-8697941

On December 3, 2024, Lionsgate is releasing a SteelBook for *Kickboxer* on [4K Ultra HD](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DH763FDX?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cionfiascire-20&linkId=671c4e345681f9bbab546b5009f13820&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl). Directed by Mark DiSalle ([*The Perfect Weapon*](https://cityonfire.com/the-perfect-weapon-1991-review/)) and David Worth (*American Tigers*), this 1989 cult martial arts hit further elevated the career of Jean-Claude Van Damme ([*Black Water*](https://cityonfire.com/black-water-2018-review-jean-claude-van-damme-dolph-lundgren/)), and was responsible of the sparking the kickboxing boom of the 80s and 90s. In the film, kickboxing champ Eric Sloane (Dennis Alexio) is crippled in the ring by the evil Tong Po (Michel Qissi). Eric's younger brother, Kurt (Van Damme), seeks vengeance. Kurt learns Muay-Thai from fight guru Xian Chow (Dennis Chan). Thanks to Chow's unconventional training methods, Kurt becomes an expert kickboxer. Details and features have yet to be announced, but there is a possibility that we may be seeing an uncut version, or at least a well-equipped edition, of this upcoming release. [Blu-ray.com](https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=378039) member JoelGoodsen had this to say: *As most of you probably know, I am a HUGE Kickboxer fan and own a 100% complete uncut copy on disc. The last year or so I have been driving everyone crazy in the Kino thread (sorry people!), championing for a UNCUT Kickboxer 4K with original audio. I've made no secret of how they butchered the US cut and it is unwatchable to me. The dubbing of Dennis Alexio's voice and cutting out a couple decent scenes (Kurt visiting Eric in hospital) are a couple examples of why. The uncut version is the superior film by far. Besides driving everyone insane in the Kino thread, behind the scenes, I was also emailing Lionsgate and making a passionate plea for it to happen. I reached out to basically everyone I could at Lionsgate.* *In November, Lionsgate responded to me and said that due to my constant plea and request, they were going to do a Kickboxer 4K! (very proud moment for me personally. Hard work and persistence can pay off in life sometimes!). As you can imagine, I was over the moon and had a few bottles of MGD that night!* *I was put in touch with the mastering department at Lionsgate, where I provided them via file transfer, my UNCUT copy of Kickboxer. Lionsgate told me that they have been searching for an uncut film print of Kickboxer, because as you know, you can't make a 4K without a film print, but so far, they had not found anything. All they had in their possession at their Burbank lab was a 1" C PAL tape dubbed in German. Due to this, I also extracted the original non dubbed audio from my uncut disc and provided the audio track to them.* *Once I knew they had not been able to find any film prints so far, I literally reached out to numerous people and sources to see if I could find a uncut film print for them to use. I did have some minor success in locating a possible print, but as I do not work for LG and are basically just a passionate fan on a labour of love mission, I could only get so far. After exhausting every avenue and doing as much research as I could, I provided all possible leads to LG. Hopefully one of those leads has turned into something positive. I do know that if a UK film print was found, you could technically make a near fully uncut version with the US version.* *Lionsgate informed me that nothing is set in stone yet, but if they can't find a film print of the uncut version to do a 4K, they may just include it as a special feature in SD or HD up-conversion. This is where the uncut English audio I provided should come in handy.* *A couple weeks ago, I had a 10 minute phone conversation with director Mark DiSalle, who kindly gave me his time, even though he was walking his dog! I have also been in touch with co-director David Worth. Mr. Worth said he would happily provide a audio commentary and for me to set it up as he is ready whenever. He shot alot of scenes, such as the deleted hospital scene. I also have a few other cool things that I would like to provide and have offered to make this disc special. I have reached out to Mr. Felsher, but no response so far. I know the film like the back of my hand, so I have offered assistance should any prints turn up or any help is needed on special features. This is the one and only chance we will ever get for a uncut Kickboxer special edition. Hopefully we get plenty interviews etc.* *In a nutshell; I have provided Lionsgate with a uncut copy for reference and the original English audio track from the uncut version. The good people at Lionesgate are doing everthing they can to release the uncut version on 4K, but it all comes down to finding a film print, which I have done my best to find/provide links for them and they are also doing their best looking for a uncut print. Hoping to speak to LG over the coming months, but it is a wait and see what happens situation in regards to a uncut print at the moment.* *A personal big thank you from myself to Lionsgate for hearing the plea of this passionate film fan, allowing me to provide a copy of the uncut version/audio and giving Kickboxer a chance on 4K. I apologise for driving you all insane! haha. Hopefully I can help out with the release in the meantime and the release turns out as good as possible. Please keep in mind, it is still months away, things could change and nothing is set in stone. Lionsgate are doing their best and we can look forward to a final announcement when all the work is done.*

cross-posted from: https://feddit.uk/post/17543721 > > Criterion offers up an eclectic new slate to their carefully curated collection of films. Now, a couple of these aren't too surprising, 8½ and Paris Texas are already on Blu-ray so we're getting welcome (if expected) upgrades. The biggest news is No Country for Old Men - the Coen Brothers' Oscar-winning thriller from the Cormac McCarthy classic novel is very good news. It was a big hitter on Blu-ray in its day, but a 4K Dolby Vision upgrade supervised by Roger Deakins is very exciting! Completing the eclectic list is Samo Hung's slick action classic Eastern Corridors - sadly only on Blu-ray but still should be a good disc.
