DEBUTING AS A LIMITED EDITION 4K ULTRA HD™ STEELBOOK
SEPTEMBER 24TH

SYNOPSIS
Brian De Palma invites you to witness a seduction... a mystery... a murder. It’s BODY DOUBLE — a spine-tingling look at voyeurism and sexuality from the modern master of suspense. Jake Scully (Craig Wasson), an unemployed actor, is asked to house-sit at a luxurious hillside apartment. As a bonus, the home offers Jake a telescopic peek into the bedroom of Gloria Revelle (Deborah Shelton), who performs an arousing striptease. When Jake discovers another man is also spying on Gloria, he begins an obsessive surveillance of her. Soon a grisly murder leads him into the world of X-rated ﬁlm where he meets adult film star Holly Body (Melanie Grifﬁth), who is a key to the crime. De Palma has created a gripping adult thriller of eroticism and horror!

It's already out in 4K on iTunes, so a disc release isn't much of a surprise, but it IS nice to have it to own and with better quality.

A U.S. steelbook with the poster art would be...

dylrichard02 · 08-02-2023, 08:24 PM

Hell yes! Day one!

ThePhantom · 08-02-2023, 08:24 PM

I still have the 2013 Twilight Time Blu, so eager for this upgrade! Don't mess this one up, Sony!

Matt89 · 08-02-2023, 08:36 PM

Another Indicator edition bites the dust...

Brian81 · 08-02-2023, 09:39 PM

I have the TT, kept considering the Indicator since it’s a FIM encode I believe…but I guess of this is dual format I might just go with this. Not that I wouldn’t have picked up the 4K.

Starman22 · 08-02-2023, 11:20 PM

I seen this movie once and so what a great news

notops · 08-02-2023, 11:43 PM

Possibly the most “Brian DePalma” movie that Brian DePalma ever made. Sleazy and elegant at the same time. This is great news!

I like to call his trilogy of sleeze - Dressed to Kill, Blow Out, and Body Double. I was frankly annoyed that Blow Out got the Criterion treatment and Body Double didn't.

There was a thread already opened in the International section before this one with more info.

The Italian pre-order isn't accurate in a number of ways, including timing.

Maybe we will get a Criterion 4K of Body Double. I'm putting it out there!

Yeah, same thing at twice the price.

Criterion has a deal with Sony?

They have for years. They've put out tons of Columbia titles.

I don't know that it'll happen for Body Double, but yes they do. Their most recent Sony 4K release came out just over a week ago.

Got the 4k digital option when it was on sale for $4.99, but it's great to see a uhd option.
