As we’ve reported previously, there will be wide release and Steelbook packaging options. Note that the 4K disc includes both the 1987 Theatrical Version and the 2000 Director’s Cut, which is 7 minutes longer, plus you get a pair of featurettes: A Legacy of Inspiration: Remembering Richard Donner and “I’m Too Old for This...”. The 4K discs will also feature HDR10 high dynamic range and Dolby Atmos audio (along with the original 2.0 theatrical mix in DTS-HD MA format).

Here’s something fun: Our friends at Kino Lorber Studio Classics have just revealed that Simon Wincer’s The Phantom (1996) is “coming soon” to 4K Ultra HD. This is a Paramount title, and you can bet that other such 4K catalog films will follow. It’s worth pointing out that there are a number of Paramount films already available in 4K Digital but not yet on 4K disc, and it’s our belief that KLSC is going to eventually release a number of them.

KLSC has also set Hugh Wilson’s Rustlers’ Rhapsody (1985) and Paul Maslansky’s Sugar Hill (1974) for Blu-ray release on 6/24. Speaking of Paramount, we finally have an official street date for Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard (1950) in 4K Ultra HD from Paramount Home Entertainment—look for it on 8/5, with Dolby Vision HDR. Also coming from Paramount that day is Savage Steve Holland’s Better Off Dead (1985) in 4K Ultra HD.
