David Fincher's Zodiac & Barry Sonnenfeld's Addams Family Values Spooking 4K UHD 10/29 - Pre-Orders Live!Not officially official yet, we haven't had the press releases come in, but Amazon and every other online retailer has it up for preorder! Paramount will be releasing Zodiac (2007) and Addams Family Values (1993) on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray on October 29th. We've heard these were in the works for some time so it's nice to see some real confirmation and a release date! At least for now, that's the release date. At any time, even today, Paramount could drop a pair of press releases on us and we'll have to scoot back here and update everything. But until then consider these on the mark - also worth noting is the "Paramount Scares" logo on the top of the spines... and also interesting that they were not included in the Paramount Scares Vol. 2 box set... could there be some mystery discs in that set after all? Zodiac - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Based on the true story of the notorious serial killer and the intense manhunt he inspired, Zodiac is a superbly crafted thriller form the director of Se7en and Panic Room. Featuring an outstanding ensemble cast led by Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo and Chloë Sevigny, Zodiac is a searing and singularly haunting examination of twin obsessions: one man's desire to kill and another's quest for the truth. Addams Family Values - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray It's love at first fright when Gomez (Raul Julia) and Morticia (Anjelica Huston) welcome a new addition to the Addams household -- Pubert, their soft, cuddly, mustachioed baby boy. As Fester (Christopher Lloyd) falls hard for voluptuous nanny Debbie Jilinksy (Joan Cusack), Wednesday (Christina Ricci) and Pugsley (Jimmy Workman) discover she's a black-widow murderess who plans to add Fester to her collection of dead husbands. The family's future grows even bleaker when the no-good nanny marries Fester and has the kids shipped off to summer camp. But Wednesday still has a Thing or two up her sleeve... With gags and ghouls galore, Addams Family Values is "screamingly funny!" (Jeff Craig, Sixty Second Preview). UPDATE: 8/12/24 - We now know some more details about the bonus features: NEW! Commentary by director Barry Sonnenfeld and screenwriter Paul Rudnick— The writer and director of ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES reunite to watch their beloved comedy and provide new insight on the production and the film’s continuing legacy. NEW! Creating Family Values— The Paramount Archives digs up a collection of insightful behind-the-scenes images and interviews shot during the production of ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES—including director Barry Sonnenfeld, screenwriter Paul Rudnick, and stars Anjelica Huston, Raul Julia, Christopher Lloyd, and Joan Cusack. You can pre-order both of these 4K UHD Blu-ray titles currently on Amazon and they will be arriving on October 29.Posted Mon Aug 5, 2024 at 03:14 PM PDT by: -

Preorder Some Relief From The August Heat - HDD's August 2024 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Shopping GuideWith heat waves slapping us around and the sun baking us to death, we get to soak up some cool new 2160p discs. August has always been a sort of middling month, but 2024 is proving to be a fun run of new releases, classic hits, and snazzy rerelease packing upgrades. Just a few years ago, August was the time of year when studios started to wind down their summer theatrical slates, pop out the titles that didn't do well theatrically on disc, and then distract us with some big favorites. The last couple of years have been pretty volatile for this marketplace and it's become something like the wild west - unpredictable! We're getting everything from underperforming new titles, big fan favorites, SteelBook repackages, and a full run of cult classics and foreign favorites. August 2024 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Shopping Guide August 6th - 4K UHD Releases The month starts off a little light on quantity but not quality. Aside from a SteelBook repackage from Paramount, the week is virtually owned by Shout Studios! Action, comedy, fantasy, there are some fan favorites here well worth the attention. August 13th 4K UHD Releases This second week of August picks up a lot of speed for a number of big releases. We get new hits (and semi-flops), single-title reissues, '80s action classics, and foreign favorites. Interesting to see hit discs are a number of Universal catalog titles from the last 10 years or so all getting 4K upgrades. Keep in mind for Furiosa, the 5-Film Mad Max franchise collection and a standalone Black and Chrome edition will be hitting in September. Here's what's coming: August 20th - 4K UHD Releases Keeping with the trend, this third release frame for August picks up with some more SteelBook upgrades, television, a '90s classic comedy, thrillers, chillers, and more! While some of these releases feel disingenuous, it's nice to see some of these titles get the 2160p HDR treatment. There are a few Warner Bros SteelBooks that are also apparently getting reissued, but we haven't seen them crop up for sale anywhere so for now we're leaving Beetlejuice and Joker (Joker has been confirmed Walmart Exclusive and up for preorder) off the list. If we get true confirmation they're coming and or where they're up for sale, we'll update the guide zip quick. August 27th - 4K UHD Releases Not slowing down at all, this final week of August 2024 is packed! We have Apes in 4K. We have the Daughter of Shyamalan in 4K. Godard in 4K. Albert Brooks in 4K. Pre-slap Will Smith in 4K! What I personally love about this frame is there's a lot of everything for every kind of collector. Thrillers, comedies, horror films, action classics. More Jean Claude Van Damme in 4K! And that about wraps it up. There are a couple of titles we're trying to pin down official release date news for, so this guide could get even bigger before all is said and done! Also keep in mind, release dates are relatively fluid, somethings change so if any titles get shuffled or (disc gods forbid) canceled outright, we'll update ASAP. Thanks again for your pre-orders, they really do go a long way towards keeping out little show going.Posted Wed Jul 31, 2024 at 07:39 AM PDT by: -
Paramount Reloads Michael Mann's 'Collateral' For A New 20th Anniversary 4K UHD SteelBook August 6thParamount Home Entertainment brings Michael Mann's 'Collateral' back to 4K UHD for a new SteelBook release. Pitching the same set of bonus features and A/V specs, this is a simple repackage using virtually the same artwork... just in a SteelBook. If you thought Jamie Foxx had it bad in this film, ask anyone driving for Uber on a Friday how their night is going! Michael Mann's Collateral was the perfect kind of action/thriller at the right time. With Tom Cruise at his peak (one of many, I guess) and an on-the-rise Jamie Foxx, the film was a blisteringly tense thriller with one of the most visceral shootout sequences ever filmed. And now it's coming back to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray again! In just one week from now, you can add another copy of Collateral to your 4K collection - or if you never bought it before - with a snazzy SteelBook case. Collateral - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray SteelBook The Limited-Edition SteelBook includes access to a Digital copy of the film, as well as the following legacy bonus content: Commentary by director Michael Mann City of Night: The Making of Collateral Special Delivery Deleted Scene with Commentary Shooting on Location: Annie’s Office Tom Cruise & Jamie Foxx Rehearse Visual FX: MTA Train Other than packaging, everything looks to be the same set as before. Once we have hands on we'll see if there's anything new about discs. Happy Collecting!Posted Tue Jul 30, 2024 at 10:07 AM PDT by: -

Paramount Scares Vol. 2 Will Haunt 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray on October 1Paramount is set to release the second volume in their 4K UHD 'Paramount Scares' collection line. Like the past set, we're getting four flicks on 4K UHD (three for the very first time) along with some slick swag items and another badass Fangoria mag. While some out there may lament another "box set" collection of titles, this set offers up a something for horror fans of all types. We get a slasher classic, a road thriller, the vastly better unrated version of a big-budget zombie epic, and the latest chapter in a particularly creepy franchise. All in 4K for the first time.... well three for the first time anyway. Paramount Scares Vol. 2 - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray FRIDAY THE 13TH PART II SynopsisFive years after the massacre at Camp Crystal Lake, the nerve-wracking legend of Jason Voorhees and his diabolical mother lives on. Despite ominous warnings from the locals to stay away from “Camp Blood,” a group of counselors at a nearby summer camp decide to explore the area where seven people were brutally slaughtered. All too soon, they encounter horrors of their own and the killing begins again. BREAKDOWN SynopsisJeff Taylor (Kurt Russell) and his wife Amy (Kathleen Quinlan) are headed toward a new life in California when their car’s engine dies on a remote highway. Amy accepts a ride from a helpful trucker (J.T. Walsh) while Jeff waits with the car. But when Jeff shows up at the agreed rendezvous, he finds his wife isn’t there. The locals aren’t talking; the police aren’t much help. With no one to turn to, Jeff battles his worst fears and begins a desperate, danger-ridden search to find Amy before it’s too late. WORLD WAR Z (Unrated) SynopsisIn this fast-paced, pulse-pounding action epic, former United Nations investigator Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) is in a race against time to save both his family and the world from a pandemic that is toppling governments and threatening to destroy humanity itself. UPDATE - only the PG-13 Version is in 4K UHD, the Unrated Cut is still a 1080p exclusive sadly. ORPHAN: FIRST KILL SynopsisEsther’s terrifying saga continues in this thrilling prequel to the original and shocking horror hit ORPHAN. After orchestrating a brilliant escape from an Estonian psychiatric facility, Esther travels to America by impersonating the missing daughter of a wealthy family.
