40 Years Later, It’s Still the Word
GREASE

Relive the Classic ‘50s Celebration with a New 40th Anniversary Edition Featuring Fully Restored Picture and Sound and New Bonus Content on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray™, DVD and Digital April 24, 2018

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – It’s got a groove, it’s got a meaning…and it’s still a cultural phenomenon 40 years after its original release. The iconic celebration of high school life in the 1950s, GREASE is the way you’ll be feeling with a new 40th Anniversary Edition on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and Digital April 24, 2018 from Paramount Home Media Distribution.

Featuring an explosion of song and dance, as well as star-making performances from John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, GREASE made an indelible impact on popular culture. 40 years later, the film remains an enduring favorite as legions of new fans discover the memorable moments, sensational soundtrack and classic love story. Boasting unforgettable songs including “Greased Lightnin,” “Look At Me, I’m Sandra Dee,” “Summer Nights,” “Hopelessly Devoted To You,” “Beauty School Drop Out” and, of course, “Grease,” the film is a timeless feel-good celebration.

Paramount worked with director Randal Kleiser to restore GREASE to its original vibrancy with the highest quality sound, picture resolution and color. The original negative was scanned and received extensive clean up and color correction using previously unavailable digital restoration tools such as high dynamic range technology. In addition, the audio was enhanced from a six-track mix created for an original 70mm release, giving the music more clarity. The resulting picture and sound create an exceptional home viewing experience.

The GREASE 40th Anniversary Edition 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Combo Packs include the fully restored version of the film plus an all-new, in-depth exploration of the little-known origins of what would become a Broadway play and then a feature film and worldwide phenomenon. “Grease: A Chicago Story” features new interviews with writer Jim Jacobs and original cast members of the Chicago show. In addition, the discs include the original song the title sequence was animated to and an alternate ending salvaged from the original black & white 16mm work print discovered by director Randal Kleiser.

Both the 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Combo Packs also feature more than an hour of previously released bonus material, including a sing-along, vintage interviews with the cast, deleted scenes and more. Plus, the Blu-ray Combo comes in collectible packaging with 16 pages of images laid out like a high school yearbook. In addition, a Grease Collection will be available in a Steelbook Locker, which includes the 40th Anniversary Blu-ray of Grease, as well as Grease 2 and Grease: Live! on Blu-ray for the first time.

Is it too late for me to change my vote in the “Worst Photoshopped Blu-ray Cover Art” thread?

I'm all in for this remaster, though. Olivia Newton-John circa 1978 deserves the best picture quality.

[jmspls72]

It is also coming in a locker Steelbook to include Grease 40th , Grease 2 and Grease Live

Just hope 4K is included in the steelbook Edition

[BluCollector13]

I'll opt for the Locker Steelbook set.

Question for Grease fanatics: has there been any reason for why the roadshow version hasn't been released? Speaking as a casual fan, that would seem like a no-brainer that I would certainly love to see. Is that what the deleted/extended/alternate scenes are usually from?

Anyway, I haven't seen this in a long time, so I think I'm in to see a nicely restored Grease.

There was a roadshow for "Grease"?! I never knew that before today.

never did i.

The BBC television preview featured a version of the slumber party/Sandra Dee song in which the girls wore provocative lingerie and did a sexy dance routine which was from the 70mm roadshow version which has never been released on video

Yeah, I didn't know until I saw it mentioned in the other Grease thread a week or 2 ago. I think it's absolutely mind-blowing that the roadshow version hasn't been released. There should be no question & no hesitation whatsoever in getting that version on blu-ray. The biggest no-brainer that I've seen in a while.

[stvn1974]

Grease is one of my all time favs. Grease 2 was terrible and Grease Live is a crime against humanity. Will stick with the single release of Grease.

[dallywhitty]

It's been years since I've seen either film, but honestly, I preferred Grease 2...

Maybe it's because my sister was obsessed with the sequel, so the songs were burned into my consciousness.

'Cool Rider' was my fave.

Grease 2 (3/8) Movie CLIP - Cool Rider (1982) HD - YouTube

Besides, Grease 2 had Michelle ****ing Pfeiffer.

[Guydowood]

that soundtrack should sound nice if it gets a 5.1 DTS mix!

As a DIE-HARD Grease Fanatic....I knew of the Roadshow history, but I don't think a copy is still in existence anywhere. But who knows what might surface in another 10 years or so? I mean, we're only just now learning of an ALTERNATE ENDING and OPENING Animated Credits.

I have owned Grease in VHS, DVD, DVD (Rockin Rydel Edition) (including the T-Bird Jacket, Pink Ladies Jacket and Rydel Sweater edition), bluray and I plan on buying the digibook AND steelcase Locker edition.

I am SO looking forward to this release.

I'll buy the Locker Steelbook and toss the 4k disc in it (if it doesn't already come with it).

No way in hell I'm putting that black 4k slip in my collection.
