Awesome news!

US rights are with Criterion, they will release it at some point. I will get the Arrow release for better packaging and likely an overall better transfer with encoding from FiM.

Knew this would be coming soon! I should start a twitter account with my predictions. I'll call myself the Disc Master. If any of you question my abilities I'll dox your kids and post their school schedules online!

dylrichard02 · 02-24-2023, 03:42 AM

Don't have this film yet and haven't seen it yet, but I love Gilliam's other stuff I've seen. I'm definitely in!

Beckstreaker · 02-24-2023, 05:04 AM

So pumped, Day 1!!!

captainjoe · 02-24-2023, 05:26 AM

Hell ya definitely importing this!

Shaw24 · 02-24-2023, 05:26 AM

I just want 4K Tideland.

lgans316 · 02-24-2023, 07:00 AM

This used to appear in the Blu-ray / Hi-Def promo clips back in those days.

Sky_Captain · 02-24-2023, 11:58 AM

You mean I don't have to sell my limited edition BD set and can just fire the UHD disc into it?

Sweet.

Matt89 · 02-24-2023, 12:46 PM

YES.

I never ended up grabbing the remastered limited edition BD, and the Criterion BD is hot garbage.

Definitely grabbing this. More Gilliam on 4K!

dressedtokill · 02-24-2023, 01:02 PM

So it seems they didn't carry over all of the content from the previous remastered LE. That's unfortunate. Hopefully the specs aren't final and will be updated.

Darth Marcus · 02-24-2023, 02:33 PM

Ordered!

GeneD5 · 02-24-2023, 02:54 PM

About a day late. (well, closer to 12 hrs)

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 4K UHD (1998) - Arrow Video

Matt89 · 02-24-2023, 03:12 PM

So I got an email from Arrow they they have a promotion going on right now where it's 2/£40 on select UHDs and both Fear and Loathing and Blackhat were (surprisingly) part of the deal.

Pre-ordered those two and threw in the 4K of Croupier, as I've been meaning to pick that up.

I don't think it'll have better packaging though. Getting a normal slipcase instead of their nice premium slip boxes. Just like Children of the Corn. I do not understand the decision at all.

They clearly want collectors to have as many copies as possible haha

I have the Criterion DVD set cause it has that cool clear slipcase
And the Criterion BLU and the Arrow UK BLU and now the Arrow 4K
