Zavvi take the money a week before the film is due so this is effectively another June release so that’s a no from me. There’s way too many releases that month already.

Wait so, where is the order live date? Is there a typo in the first post?
I'm happy about this, I passed on the earlier versions of the reissue in the UK because I had purchased the US DVD.

Thank you! This looks very cute. Take my money zavvi
However, why did they change the font to a generic-looking one? Was there a trademark on the old one they don't want to pay for anymore?

I kinda like this. I don't think I like the movie enough for 4K, but if I did I'd go for this.

Question: I pre-ordered Deadpool 2 4K steelbook on its own from zavvi last week.
I see it is still available. If I were to cancel that order so i can place a new order together with Howard and others saved in my wishlist I can potentially forego my place in the line of preorders and in case there are less copies produced I risk not getting Deadpool 2, right?
I've been burned before with cancelling pre-orders elsewhere...

Will Howard the Duck get a 4K Steelbook release in America and will the UK version only have the 4K disc just like with Smokey and the Bandit?

A digital remastered 4k ? The cover are could be a little more epic though.

Howard the Duck gets a 4K and a SteelBook, The Abyss doesn’t even get a Blu-ray. Thanks Hollywood. I’ve officially lost faith in humanity.

Well I like it as an alternative to the typical snap case art.

If Best Buy gets this, it will be mine.

Everyone seems to agree it's all down to James Cameron though.
But I agree, it's a disgrace!

It's a 4k so yes and it's Universal, so yeah for the BD as well.

Unless they did something evil to the discs

I see it just had a link come for America. If it’s identical I’ll just get that one. Thanks for the quick response!

That’s 3 times you posted it.
There’s people who like the movie and there’s people who don’t.

It will sell.
Universal clearly want to recoup their investment they made 35 years ago.
