Trading Places (1983) (Remastered) (Paramount Presents #12)

[lilboyblu]

Being newly remastered from a 4K film transfer supervised by director John Landis, and not just another rehash of the same old DNR'd Blu-ray, I figured this could use a thread of its own.

I presume the audio will finally be lossless too, but I guess we'll just have to wait on the specs to verify that. The prior editions were Dolby Digital.

TRADING PLACES

One of the funniest, most outrageous comedies of the 80s arrives on Blu-ray as part of the Paramount Presents line. Newly remastered from a 4K film transfer supervised by director John Landis, TRADING PLACES cemented Eddie Murphy’s star status. The limited-edition Paramount Presents Blu-ray Disc™ is presented in collectible packaging that includes a foldout image of the film’s theatrical poster and an interior spread with key movie moments. The film will also be available on 4K Ultra HD Digital.

The very rich and extremely greedy Duke Brothers (Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy) wager over whether “born-loser” Billy Ray Valentine (Eddie Murphy) could become as successful as the priggish Louis Winthorpe III (Dan Akroyd) if circumstances were reversed. Alongside the street-smarts of Ophelia (Jamie Lee Curtis), Winthorpe and Valentine are a trio ready for a riotous revenge that culminates on the commodities trading floor in New York City.

The Paramount Presents Blu-ray includes a new Filmmaker Focus with John Landis, access to a Digital copy of the film, as well as the following previously released bonus content:

· Deleted Scenes

· Insider Trading: The Making of Trading Places

· Dressing the Part

· The Trade in Trading Places
