We’ve got one more new disc review for you to close out the week here at The Bits, which is…

Tim’s review of Gordon Hessler’s Murders in the Rue Morgue (1971) in 4K Ultra HD from Hammer Films in the UK!

Meanwhile, I’ve just gotten my hands on Arrow’s new Forbidden Planet (1956) 4K UHD release, and I can’t wait to give it a spin—that’s another “holy grail” title for me personally, and I bet for a lot of you guys as well. Watch for a review early next week.

All right… speaking of Arrow, the label’s November has indeed been revealed, and it’s a dandy!

Here’s what’s coming...

• the Coen Brothers’ Fargo (1998) – 4K (UK only)
• John Badams’ Wargames (1983) – 4K (UK only)
• Desmond Davis’ Clash of the Titans (1981) – 4K / Blu-ray (US, UK, Canada)
• Robert Aldrich’s The Dirty Dozen (1967) – 4K / Blu-ray (US, UK, Canada)
• ShawScope: Street Gangs of Hong Kong – Blu-ray (US, UK, Canada) – includes The Delinquent (1973), The Teahouse (1974), Big Brother Cheng (1975), Big Bad Sis (1976), The Big Holdup (1975), The Convict Killer (1980), The Brothers (1979)
• The Blade Spares None (1971) / The Hurricane (1972) – Blu-ray (US, UK, Canada)

Not bad at all! And The Dirty Dozen is a very nice surprise. Here’s hoping they’re going to do Where Eagle Dare (1968) at some point too. [Read on here...]

All right, Disney has just officially announced the Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD release of Rob Marshall’s Mary Poppins Returns on 3/19, with their Digital 4K and Movies Anywhere release set for a week earlier on 3/12. There will apparently also be a “Digital Bundle” of the film with the original 1964 Mary Poppins (we don’t know what resolution that original film will be). Audio on the Blu-rays will be English 7.1 DTS-HD MA. Assume standard HDR10 at least on the physical 4K (the digital 4K may offer Dolby Vision).

In terms of extras, the Blu-rays will include the deleted song The Anthropomorphic Zoo, the 4-part The Practically Perfect Making of Mary Poppins Returns documentary (includes Introduction, (Underneath the) Lovely London Sky, Can You Imagine That?, and Nowhere to Go But Up), the 4-part Seeing Things From a Different Point of View: The Musical Numbers of Mary Poppins Returns documentary (includes Trip a Little Light Fantastic, The Royal Doulton Music Hall/A Cover Is Not the Book, Turning Turtle, and Can You Imagine That?), Back to Cherry Tree Lane: Dick Van Dyke Returns, Practically Perfect Bloopers, 3 deleted scenes (Leaving Topsy’s and Trip a Little Light Fantastic), and a Sing-Along Mode. The Digital version only will also feature exclusive audio commentary by director Rob Marshall and producer John DeLuca.
