Fury, The Phantom, official 007: Sean Connery & Jurassic Park Trilogy 4K remastering details, Murder, She Wrote & the Kingdom of Heaven: DC looks fantastic!
Afternoon, Bits readers! We’re starting the week with more new disc reviews, as always, including...
Stuart’s thoughts on Daniel Petrie’s The Betsy (1978) on Blu-ray from Imprint Films.
Dennis’ look at Todd Field’s In the Bedroom (2001) on Blu-ray also from Imprint Films.
And Tim’s take on Imprint’s new Blaxploitation (1972-1973) Blu-ray box set, which includes Martin Goldman’s The Legend of Black Charley (1972), Larry G. Spangler’s The Soul of Black Charley (1973), Ron O’Neal’s Superfly T.N.T. (1973), and Arthur Marks’ Detroit 9000 (1973). (Note that two of those films are using their less controversial titles, one of which was apparently changed for use in newspaper theatrical listings and for its original 1970s TV broadcast.)
Also… on Friday, Stephen turned in a detailed look at Mel Brooks’ trail-blazing comedy Blazing Saddles (1974) in 4K Ultra HD from Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment.
And finally, Tim also reviewed Arrow Video’s excellent Inside the Mind of Coffin Joe Blu-ray box set, which was released in March.
More reviews are forthcoming this week, so be sure to stay tuned for them.
In announcement news today, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has just revealed a new 4K Steelbook edition of David Ayer’s Fury (2014) for release on 7/15. The title will now include Dolby Vision HDR, whereas the previous 4K release (from May of 2018) had HDR10 only. (You can read our review of that disc here.) All the extras will be the same, with the sole exception that the 4K disc no longer includes the 46-minute Smithsonian Channel documentary The Tanks of Fury. (Nor is it on the Blu-ray in the package, which seems to be identical to the previous Blu-ray.) Presumably, this omission allows for the inclusion of Dolby Vision and perhaps a higher overall 4K data rate. In any case, you can see the Steelbook cover artwork at left. [Read on here...]

All right, we’ve had a big week here at The Bits. As you can probably tell, I’ve spent most of the week checking in with studio and industry sources, which led to yesterday’s scoop on Tombstone coming to 4K Ultra HD next month. And trust me when I tell you that there’s a lot more great 4K catalog news to come in the months ahead. Given that we’ve been a part of—and reporting on—the home entertainment industry for more than twenty-eight years, I can confidently promise you that we have the best sources in this industry period. So when it comes to confirmed and reliable breaking news, you’re likely to hear about it first here at The Digital Bits.
Given that reality, I would highly recommend that you follow us on social media, which is where we tend to post breaking news first. As the editor-in-chief of The Bits, you’ll find me here on X, Facebook, and Bluesky. You’ll find The Digital Bits on X, Facebook, and Bluesky as well.

Severin reveals Russ Meyer’s Motorpsycho & Up! in 4K, Shout!’s April slate, Yellowstone on Blu-ray & more, plus no... Sony is NOT quitting the Blu-ray business
Our new disc review for today is none other than Stephen’s look at Wolfgang Petersen’s The NeverEnding Story (1984) in a terrific new 4K Ultra HD Limited Edition box set from our friends at Via Vision’s Imprint Films label. The 5-disc set has been released to honor the film’s 40th anniversary and includes multiple cuts of the film plus the 2024 Life After The NeverEnding Story documentary. And it comes in a package that replicates the book as seen in the film. It’s pretty special, so do give Stephen’s thoughts a look here.
Now then... the big news today is that Severn Films has just announced the Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD release of two more classic Russ Meyer films, including Motorpsycho (1965) and Up! (1976). Pre-orders start today, with the street date set for 4/29. Each has been scanned from the original camera negatives. Look for HDR10 on the 4K discs with mono audio, plus new and archival special features that include audio commentaries and more.
Shout! Factory has begun announcing its April slate, which will include Chris McKay’s Renfield (2023) in 4K Ultra HD, Paul Briganti’s Please Don’t Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain (2023) on Blu-ray, and Mamoru Hosoda’s Summer Wars (2000) on both Blu-ray and 4K Steelbook (the latter for GKids) on 4/1, followed by Carol Frank’s Sorority House Massacre (1986) on 4K + BD on 4/8, Craig Zobel’s The Hunt (2020) on 4K on 4/22, and Peter Hyams’ Timecop (1994) on 4K + Blu-ray on 4/29.
