Boldly Beaming To Blu-ray and 4K, Star Trek Strange New Worlds Season Two Arrives In Time For The Holidays! 

Between Star Trek: Picard Season Three and these last two seasons of Strange New Worlds, the galaxy of Trek finally feels like it's in good hands, staying true to what made the various films and series great, but also boldly going in new directions. Including a damned entertaining song-and-dance episode! Now you can plan on adding this latest season to your 4K or Blu-ray shelf ahead of the holidays.

I know SteelBooks aren't everyone's bag, but I dig the alternate magnetic character cover cards so if you don't like Captain Pike's square-jawed mug you can swap him out for the more attractive Rebecca Romijn. But then the extra cool feature for both SteelBook sets is the "Subspace Rhapsody" poster! I'm genuinely over the moon they've really leaned into how fun that episode was. Sure it was a bit of high-camp for the series, but after so many years of Trek being taken so deathly seriously with massive convoluted conspiracy theory poppycock plots, I'll take that episode over Discovery any day. 

Here's what's coming in the set:

Prepare to explore Strange New Worlds with more than 2 hours of special features, including featurettes that take you behind the scenes of this remarkable series.

On October 23, Jim Jarmusch's Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai starring Oscar-winner Forest Whitaker in his Cannes Best Actor winning role will be getting a 4K release (4K restoration) in the UK from STUDIOCANAL. A 4K SteelBook will be available at Zavvi. 

Pre-orders are now available.

Forest Whitaker (Ghost Dog) lives above the world, alongside a flock of birds, in a homemade shack on the roof of an abandoned building. Guided by the words of an ancient samurai text, Ghost Dog is a professional killer able to dissolve into the night and move through the city unnoticed. When Ghost Dog’s code is dangerously betrayed by the dysfunctional mafia family that occasionally employs him, he reacts strictly in accordance with the Way of the Samurai.

Featuring moody cinematography by the great Robby Müller (Paris, Texas), a sublime score by the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA, and a host of colourful character actors (including a memorably stone-faced Henry Silva), GHOST DOG: THE WAY OF THE SAMURAI plays like a pop-culture-sampling cinematic mixtape built around a one-of-a-kind tragic hero. Described by Time Out as “very funny, insightful and highly original”, the film was nominated for the Palme d’Or at Cannes, and remains one of Jarmusch’s best-loved films.

The best "Predator" franchise film in years finally hunts down a Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release on October 3rd.

If Prey taught us anything its that good movies shouldn't be stuck on streaming. After doing gangbuster streaming numbers on Hulu (and the overseas Disney-owned counterparts), the film that would have put up serious box office cash at a time when theaters needed great content is finally coming home to disc. Considering the four previous films (one of which we'd just as well like to forget) are available on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray already, collectors won't have to turn to shady bootlegs to complete their collections. Now if Netflix would only do the same for Glass Onion...

Now the press release we received didn't stipulate HDR grade, but given this is a 20th Century Studios/Disney release, it's all but assured that'll be HDR10, but the disc specs do confirm Atmos audio. Considering the film's intense sound design, Atmos is an essential pickup, but it also looks like the badass Commanche dub track will be included as well! On top of that, we're getting what looks like some pretty great bonus features:

• Making of Prey: Step behind the scenes of Prey as the cast and crew explore the genesis of the project, how they gave authenticity to the story, the intense physical training the cast endured, and the effects work that brought the iconic Predator back to the screen.
• Prey FYC Panel With Cast & Crew: Go deeper into Prey with a lively panel discussion featuring director Dan Trachtenberg, actor Amber Midthunder, producer Jhane Myers, director of photography Jeff Cutter, film editor Angela M. Catanzaro and creature effects designer Alec Gillis.

Leading the charge on November 7 is Jackie Chan: Emergence of a Superstar - a boxed set of six of martial arts legend Jackie Chan's films.

Jackie Chan: Emergence of a Superstar - The Criterion Collection 

Originally tapped as a potential successor to Bruce Lee, Hong Kong martial-arts phenom Jackie Chan soon established his own unique screen persona, blending goofball slapstick and bone-crunching kung fu into intricate feats of supercharged athleticism. Tracing his rise from breakout star to full-fledged auteur, these six unabashedly silly, unstoppably entertaining early-career highlights find Chan refining the lovably mischievous image that would make him a global icon, while also assuming greater creative control over his projects—first as his own martial-arts choreographer, and later as a writer-director who set a thrilling new standard for daredevil action comedy.

Peter Bogdanovich's The Last Picture Show will arrive on 4K UHD Blu-ray as well as Blu-ray on November 14.

The Last Picture Show - The Criterion Collection 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray 

One of the key films of the American seventies cinema renaissance, The Last Picture Show is set in the early fifties, in the loneliest Texas nowheresville to ever dust up a movie screen. This aching portrait of a dying West, adapted from Larry McMurtry’s novel, focuses on the daily shuffles of three futureless teens—enigmatic Sonny (Timothy Bottoms), wayward jock Duane (Jeff Bridges), and desperate-to-be-adored rich girl Jacy (Cybill Shepherd)—and the aging lost souls who bump up against them in the night like drifting tumbleweeds, including Cloris Leachman’s lonely housewife and Ben Johnson’s grizzled movie-house proprietor. Featuring evocative black-and-white imagery and profoundly felt performances, this hushed depiction of crumbling American values remains the pivotal work in the career of invaluable film historian and director Peter Bogdanovich.

4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES

Also on November 14 comes Terrence Malick's Days of Heaven on 4K UHD Blu-ray with what looks like a new Blu-ray version, too.

Days of Heaven - The Criterion Collection 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray 

One-of-a-kind filmmaker-philosopher Terrence Malick has created some of the most visually arresting films of the twentieth century, and his glorious period tragedy Days of Heaven, featuring Oscar-winning cinematography by Nestor Almendros, stands out among them. In 1910, a Chicago steelworker (Richard Gere) accidentally kills his supervisor, and flees with his girlfriend (Brooke Adams) and his little sister (Linda Manz) to the Texas panhandle, where they find work harvesting wheat in the fields of a stoic farmer (Sam Shepard). A love triangle, a swarm of locusts, a hellish fire—Malick captures it all with dreamlike authenticity, creating a timeless American idyll that is also a gritty evocation of turn-of-the-century labor.

DIRECTOR-APPROVED 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES

On November 21, Martin Scorsese's Mean Streets will hit 4K UHD Blu-ray. The release will also be available on Blu-ray.

Mean Streets - The Criterion Collection 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray 

Martin Scorsese emerged as a generation-defining filmmaker with this gritty portrait of 1970s New York City, one of the most influential works of American independent cinema. Set in the insular Little Italy neighborhood of Scorsese’s youth, Mean Streets follows guilt-ridden small-time ringleader Charlie (Harvey Keitel) as he deals with the debts owed by his dangerously volatile best pal, Johnny Boy (Robert De Niro), and pressure from his headstrong girlfriend, Teresa (Amy Robinson). As their intertwined lives spiral out of control, Scorsese showcases his precocious mastery of film style—evident in everything from his propulsive editing rhythms to the lovingly curated soundtrack—to create an electrifying vision of sin and redemption.

DIRECTOR-APPROVED 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES

And lastly also on November 21 is Claude Chabrol's La cérémonie on Blu-ray.

La cérémonie - The Criterion Collection 

Claude Chabrol’s forty-ninth feature stands as the crowning achievement of his prolific career—a coolly riveting study of class dynamics, the psychology of crime, and the sordid secrets lurking beneath the veneer of everyday life. A fascinatingly enigmatic, César Award–winning Isabelle Huppert is the chaotic yin to Sandrine Bonnaire’s tightly coiled yang. They are, respectively, a small-town postal worker and a maid to a wealthy family, a pair of outsiders who form a mysterious alliance that gradually, almost imperceptibly, goes haywire. With a master’s control of sound, editing, and suspense, Chabrol constructs a tour de force of sustained tension that delivers each brilliant shock with ice-pick precision.

BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES

Pre-orders should be available sometime in the next week or two and we'll be sure to update the website as soon as they are.

"Welcome to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray kids, today's word is 'expiation'"

Lionsgate is set to release Frank Darabont's chilling and devastating fan-favorite Stephen King adaptation The Mist on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray. Not to worry some fans, this is a four-disc set! While we don't have full specs about what this set will entail (yet), a four-disc set would imply that the full-color Theatrical version as well as the Black and White Director's Edition will be featured in 4K and 1080p! Again we don't have full specs and I wanted to wait to post on this but the official press release hasn't come in yet meanwhile the standard Blu-ray and the Best Buy SteelBook are both up for pre-order. 

Stephen King's The Mist - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray 

Stephen King's The Mist - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray
Best Buy SteelBook 

I kinda dig the SteelBook art, I get what they're going for, but also it does look awful similar to The Thing 4K SteelBook artwork. I would have loved it if they could have used that classy Drew Struzan artwork from the previous Blu-rays. 

That's it for now, when that press release comes in we'll update our listings and article ASAP, but for now you can pick which artwork style you like best and get that preorder in! 

[UPDATE 8/11/23]

After finding a random press release buried deep in my personal email's Promotional vault of spam messages, I found a little nugget of gold. According to this press release, fans can expect both the full color "Theatrical Edition" as well as the much more bad-ass black and white "Director's Edition" in 4K Ultra HD with Dolby Vision HDR and Atmos audio. At least I think so with that last part, as far as press releases go, it's a little confusing when it gets to the disc specs but given this is a Lionsgate release, even I have to admit it's pretty rare for them to drop a 4K title without Atmos... still confused as hell about that with Sisu but weird shit happens, what can I say. Until we hear otherwise, the following details look to be legit and certainly welcome for one of my favorite horror films ever.

... so obviously that Blu-ray format and audio specs aren't 100% correct since well they got the resolution wrong, included HDR, and were more or less copied and pasted from the 4K Ultra HD sections. So hopefully those relevant details - i.e. HDR grade and Atmos are correct. 

Once again, both of these sets are up and ready for pre-order! 

For your interest, check out that full press release below:

"I'd know it was for pre-order on 4k Ultra HD Blu-ray. I'd feel it, in my bones, and I'm telling you that thing up there is a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray up for pre-order!"

Tired of us prattling on about various releases of The Exorcist on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray yet? Well, we are too! After a whirlwind week of U.K. and European-only Deluxe Collector's editions and the listings going live on Best Buy and Amazon for standard releases, we can finally confirm what we already knew that William Friedkin's iconic horror masterpiece, The Exorcist, will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray with both the original Theatrical Cut and the 2000 Director's Cut on disc in 4K. However, as we'll detail momentarily - aside from the audio commentaries all of the legacy bonus features will be available streaming only. So unless you have the past Blu-ray releases already, be sure to redeem that digital code instead of selling it! Here's what's coming to fans Stateside - 

The Exorcist: 50th Anniversary - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray 

The Exorcist: 50th Anniversary - 4K Ultra HD Best Buy SteelBook 

As we've already pointed out in previous articles and Facebook posts, foreign markets got some snazzy deluxe packaging options with booklets and extra swag - but those are pretty well all sold out unless you're willing to plug gray-market prices or if DiabolikDVD still has some ready for pre-order. For those looking to score the Best Buy SteelBook, it's currently listed as "Coming Soon" since it looks like the early pre-order allotment sold through, but it's a safe bet there will be plenty to pick up on street day.

Here's everything that's going to be on disc or left to streaming:

Now the press release we received didn't list Dolby Vision so expect HDR10 at minimum - audio is a bit of a mystery so we'll be checking in on that if they opted for Atmos, 5.1, or if they stuck with mono. 

Once again these are up for pre-order an we suspect most of you already placed your orders as soon as they went live - in which case if you ordered through our links, thank you very much. Your pre-orders really do go a long way towards keeping our show going.

The Exorcist tells the now-famous story of a girl's demonic possession, and a gripping fight between good and evil. Linda Blair, in a breakout role, plays Regan, a young girl who starts to exhibit strange, arcane behavior. Her mother (Burstyn) calls upon a priest, Father Karras (Miller), to investigate. But Karras, who has a spiritual crisis of his own, is suddenly confronted with the unimaginable evil of Regan's possession. Father Lankester Merrin (Von Sydow), an archeologist-priest, is called to help, and a horrific battle for her soul begins.
