Blitz the Core - Jan de Bont's 1996 Disaster Epic 'Twister' Will Destroy 4K UHD July 9th

You can't explain it, you can't predict it! Buying the 4K won't bring your dad back... but it might vastly improve your home video collection! Starring Helen Hunt and the late great Bill Paxton, Jan de Bont's 'Twister' will finally come home to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray in HDR with Atmos audio! 

As this summer keeps dropping real-life tornados throughout the midwest, Warner Bros is capitalizing on the upcoming Twisters delivering one of the most highly-entertaining disaster films of the '90s. As many of you may remember all too well, the original Blu-ray release of Twister was something of a waxy DNR-riddled disaster. For years fans have been clamoring for a new and better release and it's finally here. Now we still don't know HDR grade for this (HDR10 base is guaranteed), the transfer has been overseen by director Jan de Bont and it will come with Atmos audio (thanks to the back artwork photo on Amazon) with some new and archival extra features.
