The real reason will be what has already been scanned and is available as a 4K master for Kino license. All these 4Ks of Studiocanal titles they have recently announced have had recent scans that Studiocanal already did. Prince of Darkness was a 2K scan more than a decade ago, and wasn't well received due to dodgy grading and DNR. It needs a new restoration, but beyond that there are no issues with elements I'm aware of.

I hope you're right.
Dracula, Prince of Darkness is one of my favorite Hammers and a nostalgic one to boot as it's the first Christopher Lee Dracula I ever saw, way back when I was 4 or 5 years old on NY television in the early '80s. It'd be great to see it on 4K looking better than ever.
