In this case the new ED2 documentary is on the Lionsgate 4K disc so they don't have to press a new Blu-ray, it looks like it's the existing U.S. 25th anniversary disc, whereas StudioCanal (who are releasing this in Europe) have been issuing their new remasters on Blu-ray as well as UHD, using a 2-disc BD (movie + extras) and bare bones UHD approach. Make sense?


This? Have you seen it already? StudioCanal will be handling the remaster for ED2 anyways, as we know. So this won't be a "true" Lionsgate joint either.

Yes. Thanks for the info. I haven't fully dove into the the whole 4K thing and the technical knowledge of it. Even though I own like 80 4Ks at this point... lol I just don't have the equipment to play them yet.
