I think a lot of Criterion titles are safe. Especially the ones with 2K masters. But movies that are just now coming out on Blu-ray like King Kong 76 from Shout, you just know that it will get a UHD release within a year or two.

Probably not, it's with Paramount. We're just now seeing Paramount put out a lot of their older stuff on BD, King Kong 1976 won't be on 4K for a while, if it makes it to the format.

Also, I might add that this is a major increase in the number of titles from MGM coming to 4K. I and probably some others didn't imagine we'd see 12+ UHDs coming from MGM's catalog in the next year coming. It's a surprise, but a welcome one for sure!

Yay!!!! I LOVE this movie! One of the best sci-fi/horror films ever! Day 1!

I'm hoping Kino releases a 4K UHD ROCKY box set of all 6 films at some point. I'm sure Stallone has finished his director's cut of Rocky IV by now. I can't wait to see his re-cut of the film! (although I'd prefer both versions to be included in any potential release).

Would never happen. After Bond, Rocky is MGM's bread and butter.

I just hope they release it before the Amazon takeover.

Bummer, I thought this was going to be the original body snatchers in 4k. No Intrest in the remake.

Weirded Wonder · 07-19-2021, 12:05 PM

This is very exciting news indeed. Day one purchase for me.

Did you anticipate a 4K upgrade? I didn't. Shout's Collector's Edition had a beautiful new transfer - I would've never unloaded it. Not sure what I'll do with my Arrow steelbook, though. Maybe I'll stick the Kino disc in it.

Jompa · 07-19-2021, 01:04 PM

Very good. I just saw it on the Scream Factory BD a few weeks ago. I will buy this edition.

I had a spare copy. It would probably be a bit harder to unload it now, though, if I hadn't done it then.

Good to know. I was reluctant to buy it and now I know it needs more treatment. I only like the 50's version. Such a classic even with that PC ending we know how it was originally intended and that goes fine with an imagination.

Do we know what audio format this will have?

DR Herbert West · 07-21-2021, 08:33 AM

Most likely:

DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and 2.0

Hmmm. Interestingly, I used to own this triple feature of this with Hannibal and Silence of the Lambs. https://www.amazon.com/Collection-Si.../dp/B00GW97EG6 All now released by Kino in 4K.

Spartan21 · 07-22-2021, 01:10 AM

Kino, you are beautiful. Keep em' coming.

I very much prefer this version to the original. It's absolutely brilliant.

I also prefer John Carpenter's The Thing more than the original.
