Rumor Mill: THE WIZARD OF OZ Headed for 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray[teaser]Victor Fleming's classic 1939 musical starring Judy Garland may be heading to 4K UHD before the end of the year. [/teaser] According to SoundandVision.com, the timeless classic The Wizard of Oz could be hitting 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray later this year in celebration of the film's 80th anniversary. Adapted from L. Frank Baum's timeless children's tale about a Kansas girl's journey over the rainbow, The Wizard of Oz opened at Grauman's Chinese Theater on August 15, 1939. The film was directed by Victor Fleming (who that same year directed Gone With the Wind), produced by Mervyn LeRoy, and scored by Herbert Stothart, with music and lyrics by Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg. Dorothy was portrayed by a 4'11" sixteen-year-old girl who quickly earned her reputation as the world's greatest entertainer: the incomparable Judy Garland. Ray Bolger appeared as the Scarecrow, Bert Lahr as the Cowardly Lion, Jack Haley as the Tin Man, and Frank Morgan in six different roles, chief among them the Wizard himself. The Wizard of Oz received five Academy Award® nominations, including Best Picture (Outstanding Production), and captured two Oscars®—Best Song (“Over the Rainbow”) and Best Original Score -- plus a special award for Outstanding Juvenile Performance by Judy Garland. The film was an overwhelmingly popular and critical success upon its initial release and repeated its ability to captivate audiences when M-G-M reissued the film in 1949 and 1955. The film made a new kind of history with its network television premiere in 1956 on CBS. Nearly 45 million people tuned in for this initial telecast, marking the beginning of an annual tradition. Ever since, The Wizard of Oz has been shown virtually annually on network (and then cable) television; its magical story and heartfelt performances have enabled it to grow from a perennial classic to its current status as a treasured icon of popular culture. No other details have been released at this time.

New Poll Asks Viewers to Help Choose Sony's Next 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Releases[teaser]The studio has launched a new survey asking users to help decide future 4K releases.[/teaser] While several big catalog titles and classic films have already made their way to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray from a variety of studios, there's still plenty of great older movies that have yet to make the leap to the new format. Thankfully, Sony has apparently heard our cries for more catalog titles and wants to know exactly what films viewers want to see on 4K. In fact, they're even letting users vote on what movies they'd like to buy next! As part of a new poll included on the company's website, Sony is asking fans to select the title they'd like to see most on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray from a list of 10 "modern classics." According to the site, the winning film could then be included on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray as part of a larger special giftset scheduled for release in 2020. The survey is now active and is set to close on June 30. CLICK HERE to select which movie you want to see included. And here's a rundown of the titles available to vote on: A League Of Their Own As Good As It Gets Awakenings Big Fish Captain Phillips Jerry Maguire Moneyball Sense And Sensibility (1995) The Age Of Innocence The Remains Of The Day In addition, separate from the upcoming giftset, the poll also allows viewers to suggest even more Sony titles that they'd like to see arrive on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray in the future. Users can choose three films from a larger list of 43 movies. Likewise, visitors can also write-in a film suggestion if it's not already included on the list. CLICK HERE to select your choices. Based on the selections available for the giftset, I'd personally love to see Big Fish, Jerry Maguire, or The Age of Innocence get the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray treatment. And from the larger list of potential titles, I'm pulling for 4K releases of Call Me By Your Name, Das Boot, The Lady from Shanghai, Drive, Looper, and Whiplash. Curiously, however, Sony's Lawrence of Arabia is nowhere to be seen on any of the included lists, which is a bit odd considering its classic status, breathtaking visuals, and the fact that 4K digital versions are already available on several platforms. Though this is just pure speculation on my part and perhaps simply wishful thinking -- is it possible that the film's exclusion here means that a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release is already being planned? One can dream, anyway. Either way, it's nice to see that Sony is taking fan suggestions into account when it comes to selecting its next 4K Blu-ray releases. Be sure to let Sony know which titles you'd like to buy most in the poll before it closes on June 30, and feel free to let us know your picks in the forums and comments section!

Marvel Is Remastering All of Its MCU Films in 4K Ultra HD[teaser]The studio is prepping its entire catalog of movies for 4K release.[/teaser] While Disney and Marvel have been releasing all of their new MCU films on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray since the debut of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, several earlier movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have yet to make their way to 4K. Thankfully, it looks like that's about to change. During an interview with Collider, Captain Marvel executive producers Victoria Alonso and Jonathan Schwartz elaborated on Marvel's larger 4K home video plans, confirming that more Ultra HD releases are on the way. In fact, it turns out that the studio's entire back catalog is set to receive the 4K treatment. When asked about the prospect of more Ultra HD home video releases, Victoria Alonso told Collider's Steve Weintraub, "We are going to remaster all of our films in 4K. We're in the process of doing that, so it's all happening." Check out the clip below to watch the entire exchange! Beyond 4K news, Alonso and Schwartz were also asked about the potential of a new Phase 3 movie collection or a massive 22-film Infinity Saga box set, and though the pair don't appear to be aware of anything specific, they seem to think both are good ideas. Likewise, despite the upcoming arrival of Disney+, which will serve as the streaming home for the entire MCU, Alonso doesn't think that the digital service will impact plans to release physical media versions of the studio's future movies. Exact release dates for additional Marvel 4K films have not been announced yet, but the upcoming titles will join the company's currently available collection of 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays, including Captain America: The First Avenger, The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Solider, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, Ant-Man and the Wasp, and Captain Marvel.
