I received word this morning from Universal Sony Home Entertainment Australia, that this is currently scheduled for release here on the 28th of June.

Nice. Day 1 buy for me. Plus my partner has never seen it. Should look glorious.

As Sony are involved thats good news as it should mean releases in other countries too. Don't want to pay extra charges to import if possible

Finally! Pre-order this thing and I'l watch it the day I get it. Very exciting.

Given UHD's wonky hdr, on some titles, I'll be watching for reviews before I bite. Although, some of the more problematic hdr discs look quite nice with the hdr stripped out, and the color and higher res left. I'm certainly keeping an eye on this title though.

I spoke with Universal Sony Australia yesterday, and was told that the date for this has been pushed back until Wednesday the 6th of December 2017. However, it's possible that it could be brought forward again.

I wonder why the release date changes on this thing so regularly? I want to watch it on Amazon but it's price is too steep when the UHD version will be out...eventually. Has anyone streamed this in 4K? Just curious what the comparison is to the Blu-ray version.

Oh, well. At it's worse it could be a Merry Christmas to me kind of a deal.
