Oh man… this is something we’ve known was in the works for a long time now, but we’ve kept quiet in public for not wanting to spoil it for you guys.

But subscribers to our Digital Bits Patreon page know—because we first told them about it months ago—this year’s 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray box set from The Criterion Collection is all about Stanley Kubrick!

Well, Criterion has finally just teased the release on their social media with the YouTube video below.

This set is expected to include EVERY film. Tons of legacy extras.

And LOTS of new special features too!

Watch for the official details to be officially announced soon by Criterion.

We can’t wait!
