Casablanca (Re-Release)

[LordCrumb]

Someone mentioned in the 'Last Watched' thread that they picked up a new release of Casablanca... can that person please fill us in more about the technical specs and the cover, so we know what to look out for when buying this? I'm not sure it is out in New Zealand, but if I could get a look at the new cover I would know what to keep an eye out for.

Would be great if it could be added to the database too.

Cheers!

I just added it to the database a minute ago, just waiting for it to be approved to add the cover.

On the back, it says it's a 4K transfer. I'll attach the cover and disc art so you can get a look first.

One I saw with a new cover only stated Dolby Mono, not lossless mono?

Cheers man, does it have upgraded audio?

*Approved the submission too.

[insomniac]

It says only Dolby Digital 1.0 for the audio.

The disc is exactly the same as the previously released bluray with new discart.New one mentions 4k transfer, old one mentions a new high definition transfer.( I've got both now but will return the one I got yesterday.)
Audio is the same Dolby digital 1.0

So victor, this is not the same transfer as the new "75th Anniversary" release in the US?

I know the US one has DTS-HD MA mono audio and the OZ re-release still only has Dolby Digital Mono, but the video on the OZ re-release hasn't been upgraded either?

That seems like a bit of a con, doesn't it? Shame on you, WB!
