Heat (1995) (Director's Definitive Edition) - Page 31 - Blu-ray Forum

They should be upgraded to HD, otherwise they could just do a BD with DVD for the extras (and they'd just about fit on a dvd), so I think they'll be HD.

I had exactly the same thoughts, but you never know

The extras from the previous discs were originally in 4:3, including whatever footage used from the movie. What I'm guessing will happen with those is what Fox did for the Alien documentaries, which was to crop the interview segments so they can fit in a wider frame and use 16:9 clips from the film.

Looking forward to this release. It's been awhile since I've seen it and I can't wait to re-watch it.

What are the odds of there NOT being a controversy over color timing on this release?

That's a confusing listing. It states "4K remaster" a few times, but the pictures of the packaging are clearly just standard Blu-rays. Also, the sound is mentioned as simply DTS 5.1, which seems a bit anemic for a 4K UHD disc. I'm thinking this may be only a 1080p presentation of a 4K source, not an actual 4K disc.

Since when does one exclude the other? It's a Blu-ray release of a 4K remaster.

Holding out for the US press release. Soon?

I'd like to see a 4K Blu-ray + Blu-ray combo pack, so that I can future-proof my purchase right off the bat.

Of course, I'm one of the few people who is perfectly happy with my existing Blu-ray of Heat.

+1, gonna hold off for a UHD but until then, I think the existing Blu-ray is just fine.

I've seen plenty of Blu-ray releases touting a NEW 4K RESTORATION! and this is no different. It's a regular Blu-ray.

They'll be some. Lets just hope it is not dragged on for 15 pages.

IndyMLVC · 12-28-2016, 04:23 PM

No trailer? Why the hell are these releases leaving off the damn trailers???

StingingVelvet · 12-28-2016, 05:00 PM

I'll get a UHD version if it comes out the same day, but no way am I waiting to see this new master if the BD is all that comes out. Gimmie gimmie gimmie!!!

I had the vhs, then the dvd, then the Blu-ray, now have the Steelbook Blu-ray and yes, they're gonna get my money for this too.
Love this movie and a 4k scan sounds good.
