The title has been newly-remastered in 4K from the original camera negative and will include HDR10 high dynamic range, along with all new Dolby Atmos tracks (both for the US and original UK audio). You’ll also get the original theatrical US and UK 5.1 mixes. Extras will include the previous director and producer commentary, deleted scenes with optional commentary, the Making Snatch featurette, storyboard comparisons, a video photo gallery, and more. You can see the cover artwork above left and also below.
Also today, our friends at Media Play News have kicked off the voting for their annual Home Entertainment Awards. I’m honored to be a judge for the effort again this year, and we’d like your help too! Click this link (or the logo below) and follow the instructions provided to submit your picks in each category. Do take note of the fact that the disc nominees are submitted by studios and are domestic releases only (which is why some titles fans might want to see aren’t listed). But the online ballot has an option in each category for a write in, if you’d like to use it. The voting ends on April 9, so get your votes in now!
Finally this morning, we’d like to take a moment to acknowledge the passing of the great actor Yaphet Kotto. Genre fans will know him for his work in Ridley Scott’s Alien and of course the classic Bond film Live and Let Die, but that’s only scratching the surface. He played Idi Amin in the TV film Raid on Entebbe (1976), was a regular on the 90s hit series Homicide: Life on the Street, and he co-starred in Brubaker (1980) with Robert Redford, Midnight Run (1988) with Robert De Niro, and The Running Man (1987) with Arnold Schwarzenegger, among others. Kotto was 81. We hope he finally got the full share he deserved (you Alien fans will get that reference). You can read more on him here at The New York Times.
All right, we’ll leave you today with a look at the cover artwork for The Indiana Jones 4-Film Collection and Snatch in 4K, as well as Explorers and all the June Criterion titles (announced yesterday) on Blu-ray. All are now available for pre-order on Amazon.com by clicking on the cover links...
Stay tuned...
