The Shape of Water 4K UHD (2017)

[Markpsf]

Amazon price is absurd and will drop.
I'd also be very surprised if Del Toro didn't have an agreement with Criterion as well.
The first release will be far more limited in extras.

luved this movie... preying 4 the vision....

Pacific Rim and Hellboy 2 are the only ones in 4k but i believe they're upconverted from 2k. Assuming it'll be the same for Shape of water but can't wait to check it out.

Didn't GDT say somewhere that this is his one film he felt wouldn't need an audio commentary? I'm sure it will be packed with extras regardless. He and Edgar Wright are two guys who always seem to come through in the bonus feature department.

Since this is Fox and Fox movies usually come to physical quickly (Logan) and if they want to capitalize on the likely success this movie will have at the Oscars they will release it on March 6th, the Tuesday right after the awards. (12 Years a Slave which was also Fox pulled that move)

They would also put it on digital Feb 20th or more likely Feb 27th which would give people time to catch up on it before the show.

Would have loved if Fox could team up with Criterion for this one. It would feel right at home with the other three titles they have, even though this one's in English. But whatever, this is a day one buy!

[Leonidas King]

Makes perrrfect sense since the Oscars take place on the 4th.

Not bad, was hoping for a week earlier though.
Any word on the digital HD date? Most likely 2/27?

I was going to point you in the direction of the steelbook forum but I just saw you already knew about the 4K India steelbook listed there. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a north american 4K steelbook release as well.

No audio commentary or 7.1 mix? How strange.

[Dave_6]

No mention of HDR either unless it's just a given by now.

[Vangeli]

"UltraHD Premium" certification means it includes HDR, IIRC.

Like they said, UltraHD Premium is synonymous with "features HDR" but yeah it's a given unless stated otherwise.

No commentary for one of GDT's best films?
