We have just a couple of quick things to report here at The Bits today, news-wise...

First, Kino Lorber Studio Classics has just revealed that John Hughes’ Career Opportunities (1991) and Phil Alden Robinson’s Sneakers (1992) are both coming to 4K Ultra HD on 4/22, each with Dolby Vision HDR.

Second, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has added a single-film 4K Ultra HD Steelbook edition of Ivan Reitman’s Stripes (1981) for release on 4/29. Note that this version of Stripes will include Dolby Vision HDR, unlike the version included previously with the Columbia Classics 4K Ultra HD Collection: Volume 2 box set back in 2021.

Likewise, Sony’s newly-announced Gandhi 4K Steelbook (which we talked about yesterday, also for release on 4/29) will include Dolby Vision as well, unlike the edition included with the Columbia Classics 4K Ultra HD Collection: Volume 2 box set in 2020.

Meanwhile, Severin has set Aldo Lado’s Night Train Murders (1974) for 4K Ultra HD release on 4/29.
