ONCE UPON A TIME... IN NAZI OCCUPIED FRANCE

One of the most celebrated filmmakers of our time harnesses the power of cinema itself to rewrite history in this electrifying WWII thriller.

Narrowly escaping the massacre of her entire family by the SS, Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent) flees to Paris and forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema. Meanwhile, a guerilla band of Jewish-American soldiers known as "The Basterds" led by Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt), are waging a bloody war of attrition behind enemy lines but Europe remains beneath Nazi bootheels. Believing themselves unstoppable, the leaders of the Third Reich assemble in Paris for the premiere of propaganda epic Nation's Pride. The location? Shosanna's cinema. With all the rotten eggs in one basket, "The Basterds" join forces with British Commando Lt. Archie Hicox (Michael Fassbender) and German film star/undercover allied agent Bridget Von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) to infiltrate the premiere. Their plan? Blow up the basket...

Brim-filled with shocking violence, thrilling action and excruciating suspense, Inglourious Basterds was a box office smash around the world garnering eight Academy Award™ (2009) nominations including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay, with Christoph Waltz winning Best Supporting Actor for his star-making turn as the chilling SS Col. Hans Landa. Witness the war as it might have been in stunning 4K Ultra HD, packed with explosive extras!

Yes.

[Mister C]

Will the picture qualify be meaningfully different than the existing 4k?

[Darth Marcus]

Even if the video is the same, I'm down for the new set of extras.

[Grethiwha]

So glad I hadn't upgraded this to 4K already!

[trekky76]

If they fixed the blacks I'm in.

[PowellPressburger]

If its the same transfer, it’s just a pricy box of junk.

Arrow should have passed on releasing this if it couldn’t be done correctly.

???

As much as I'm also surprised they announced this, they did add several new extras so it's not just a box of tat and nothing else.

And what do you mean "done correctly"?

See all the other posts of people who don’t care for the current 4K transfer which was 2K … while extras may be new … those won’t beckon me to pre-order.

Arrow are mum on the transfer itself so if its the same current 4K already out … I’m passing.

It’s not one of my Tarantino favs so it would have to be a great transfer otherwise it isn’t enough to have me revisit it.

Of course it's a 2K upscale, the movie was finished in 2K. What were you honestly expecting? Them to completely re-do the film from scratch? Because that was never happening.

Arrow’s 2K upscale with improved grading + HDR will make this film look so much better, like Trick 'r Treat. This isn’t disappointing in the slightest. The extras are also stacked. Can’t wait for this one.

The new extras are all labeled new already.

[Kyle15]

Wasn't Tarantino supposed to be overseeing a new master for this one? I guess that was just a rumor. Anyway if we got a FiM encode on lock that'll be great at least.

I feel like that would have been included in the specs? It will be slightly disappointing if it is the same transfer as Universal. We had that happen with The Wolf of Wall Street.

The possibility of FiM handling things…that gets me excited.
