It's an SDR master. Koch / Plaion's release from almost a decade ago was also SDR and goes for pretty high prices on ebay.

Of course, I know that. I was just hoping for something new instead of something we already have after all these years. Arrow always uses HDR/Dolby Vision. At least they put work in their releases.

Yeah, cause they have FiM doing most of their encodes, and usually from ungraded masters. I wouldn't trust some of these other labels with doing an SDR to HDR conversion, better leave it as is.

Until Refn gets around to approving a proper 4K HDR master, likely with Second Sight, I'm ok with Eagle just re-releasing the existing one.

The Pusher Trilogy doesn't have DV, so I'm not certain about that.

Have there been rumors about Second Sight working on the film? It seems that Icon still have UK rights.

Just a regular release with slipcover

I treasure my Kroch release from back in the day.

I had the GER 4K but sold it when it was worth silly money and kinda regretted selling, so happy for this news
Bet you as soon as we shell out for this version, Second Sight will announce an all singing all dancing HDR special edition!

[rewak]

Didn't Koch say NWR didn't want to do an HDR grade for this one back when they released the German UHD? Or did I imagine that part?

[James Luckard]

Any sense of when this might be coming out?

Doesn’t look like it, but I’m sure when there’s news or updates they will get posted in this thread.

The Koch 4K-release was the censored R-Rated version, I hope they fix it with this release.

There's an unrated cut of this film?

[rewak]

The Koch 4K is the unrated cut

[Hedrox]

The only info I could find regarding an "unrated" cut is this post on imdb.

I checked my German BD and I literally could not tell based on that description if it's the theatrical or unrated version. Then I looked at the scene on the US disc and sure enough that one is different, and it's the R rated cut (as described). So German BD is uncut, US BD is R rated.

As for the UHD, looking at the scan available at caps, it's 11 seconds shorter than my German BD, so it probably is the R rated cut. But the difference between the two versions is so small that it's kind of irrelevant.

So the German BD and German UHD were released practically at the same time but the BD is uncut while the UHD might be the R-rated cut?

I mean, it's not unheard of for the UHD to use the theatrical cut while the BD has an unrated version.

The person who made that post on imdb claims the iTunes version is also unrated, and if you follow their link you can see it's only available in HD. The US iTunes page has it in 4K but clearly states R rated.

So Unrated only in 1080p, R rated available in 4K.
