Anyone managed to get hold of the Japanese 4k copy?

Doesn't seem like it. But based on the store listing for the Japanese release, it doesn't have English subs at all but does have the English audio. Bonus features are the interviews from the Italian release, a lyric video for You're All I Need To Get By, a trailer, a "cast and crew profile" and "production notes" which the website says are still images. Would be interested to see what the production notes are.

I just purchased the Italian CODA Blu-ray. Although the case says it has English SDH subtitiles, the disc only has Italian SDH. There is an English audio option, but no English translation of the sign language.

Yes, you should have read my quote/link. And also yes, I accidentally misquoted myself. Happens. Sorry.

Should be a provision of winning Best Picture. The winner must have a distributor willing to do a Blu-Ray/4K release. I know it’ll never happen/be enforceable, but it would be nice to know who don’t have to subscribe to a streaming platform to a Best Picture film, on home video.

Late reply, but what about the forced subtitles for when the deaf characters are "talking?" Were they replaced with Japanese too? Because if so, English subs aren't too much of a problem as I already have the Japanese Straight Story Blu-ray.

I'm just here to mention that WHV will be dropping F1 on home video, so is there any hope for CODA and KOTFM yet?

Correct me if I’m wrong but F1 had a staggering $250 million budget, fully funded by Apple, whose extreme risk was mitigated by selling the theatrical and home video distribution rights to Warners a year before release. By contrast, it was Apple who bought the worldwide distribution rights to CODA for $25 million - 2.5x the budget of the film itself. So I don’t think WHV releasing F1 has any bearing on them releasing CODA, unfortunately.

Yep, Apple bought CODA as a completed indie film, after a Sundance screening.

At that time, only US rights were left. The film had been pre-sold in foreign markets to raise the production budget.

Apple liked the film so much they went around to all those foreign distributors and paid them a FORTUNE to buy the rights back in each foreign market. Eagle in Italy was the only local distributor that wouldn't sell, and Apple clearly just threw their hands up in the air and let them keep it in that one market.

Exact same thing happened with Flower Moon, where Eagle had bought the Italian rights from Paramount before the movie moved to Apple and before it was made.

I don't think there's any particular hope for those two, as detailed above.

That said, if F1 sells REALLY well on disc, perhaps it'll make Apple change their "no discs" policy. I mean they already sell their movies on all digital platforms, so they don't keep them exclusive to their streaming service, the way Netflix does.
