When is The Dark Knight coming to 4K UHD?

They need to sort out the garbage masters first, and I doubt Nolan will sign off on HDR that fast

Yes, they need to do fresh scans and leave them unmolested.

Hopefully, he'll tell them, "Stuff HDR- release my movies the way I made them."

At the earliest, Dark Knight's 10th anniversary -- so 2018.

And +1 what DVDMike said -- first two movies need remasters badly, and Nolan is mad protective of his movies. They'd have to wrangle him and Pfister (not like he's busy) to approve an HDR pass.

Either that or they could... *SHOCK HORROR* ... actually just release the movie with the proper original color timing, instead.



Leave well enough alone? Who am I kidding?

Oh I completely agree, but HDR is the new shiny thing that sells the format. I haven't actually seen any HDR content in person (aside from screenshots) so I can't really comment, but if they leave well enough alone in that regard I certainly won't complain.

Thoughts???

Master thread? It should have its own sub-forum. Otherwise people here are just gonna create threads asking when any given movie is gonna get a UHD release. What happened to waiting for pre-order links?
