Burn After Reading 4K UHD (2008) (Shout! Factory) - Blu-ray Forum

MifuneFan · 01-20-2025, 09:22 PM

Shout! Factory will be releasing the Coen Brother's film Burn After Reading (2008) on 4K tentatively in April. I'll post more details as they come in.

Quote:

When a disc containing memoirs of a former CIA analyst (John Malkovich) falls into the hands of Linda Litzke (Frances McDormand) and Chad Feldheimer (Brad Pitt), the two gym employees see a chance to make enough money for her to have life-changing cosmetic surgery. Predictably, events whirl out of control for the duo doofuses and those in their orbit.

I love the Cohens and like this movie, but this would be near the end on my list of their films I'd most like to see on 4K.

Day 1 regardless.

HeavyHitter · 01-20-2025, 09:45 PM

Love this one.

PipesDonatello · 01-20-2025, 09:46 PM

I love it. This is in the middle of what might be my favorite stretch of Coen movies (No Country For Old Men, Burn After Reading, A Serious Man). Hopefully Shout or Criterion can release a 4K of A Serious Man soon.

Who will end up releasing O Brother?

Disney themselves, or Criterion are pretty much the only possibilities if it's ever to be released.

PipesDonatello · 01-20-2025, 09:54 PM

Osbourne Cox? I thought you might be worried....about the security....of your shit.

It's a dual Disney/Universal title Disney put out themselves on Blu. Likely still the same cuz Touchstone was involved with production. Universal did put it out internationally so there's always that. I'm not so worried about this one considering they just put out two Shyamalan films tbh.

One of their funniest - a stellar cast but Brad Pitt is the MVP in my book. "You think that's a Schwinn!"

The conversations between Simmons and Rasche are too funny.

One of my favorite Coen Brothers films!

Fat Phil · 01-20-2025, 10:05 PM

F*ck yess. Also one of my absolute favourite Coen Brothers movies.

I demand a full on special edition that comes with a wedge shaped sex pillow and a hardbound copy of Osbourne Cox’s memoirs.

I'm also one of the few who really appreciates this one.

I hope we get A Serious Man soon. Another great one!

Love this movie! Saw it in theaters and have repeatedly watched it on DVD and Blu! Always thought it was underrated because I didn’t see many people talk about this in the Coen’s filmography, but this thread is showing me that more people like it than I thought!

Surprised that Criterion isn't getting this.
