That is disrespectful to Val Kilmer and all the great actors in Heat.

That's a very unfair oversight to the recognition of Wes Studi.

Does anyone knows when it will be available on 4K by Disney?

[chocolat]

Physical release? Anywhere from fall/winter this year to never.

Not yet

I've never heard of this 'Al Pacino'. And frankly, it sounds made up.

He's going to come jack you with a sock full of pennies for saying that.

It should be… how are the elements in Heat much different from what’s in the Star Wars films.

1. Double crossings
2. Moral dilemmas
3. Crazy violence
4. Heists
5. Drug use
6. Seedy locals

Robert Day-Near-o? Never heard of 'em.

Imagine if they made a bird version called Hoot starring Owl Pacino and Robin De Nero.

One can but dream

Suddenly the line "what are ya, a ****in' owl?" takes on a whole new meaning

Fortunately I have a reverse peephole.

With the direction Disney is taking 20th Century Studios, I can't see them caring so much about the sorts of films New Regency makes which are more adult and character based.
But then, Bohemian Rhapsody did almost crack a billion dollars on a $60 million budget so maybe Disney will see the value in New Regency as a production co. after all.

Sorry to bump this thread, but in light of these posts, I thought I should share that I was in Best Buy this week and the Blu-ray of Heat, which is currently $5.99, now has a Disney / 20th Century Studios jacket. I don't know how recently this changed or if this has been shared before and I regret not taking a photo and marking down the UPC, but it's very obvious since the silver Disney Blu-ray banner is at the top. The back cover has also changed to the Disney format, with a prominent 20th Century Studios logo.

EDIT: Here are front and back covers from an eBay listing, although oddly, the back cover isn't exactly what I remember seeing in Best Buy (I'm probably wrong though):

[Show spoiler]

So it seems to be a 2020 reissue. The UPC matches the 2017 remastered Blu-ray from Fox.

EDIT: I wonder if part of the issue is 20th wanting to use a 100 GB disc. We know Disney doesn't like those (see: Avengers: Endgame) and I don't think they've ever used one, but Fox definitely would have put the film on a 100 GB disc due to its length.

that is interesting, I didn't know that was a thing

I had a dream that this was finally available to preorder. Quite disappointed that it wasn't real. That is all.

[AdmiralNoodles]

This belongs in the Wishlist section.

"I'm talking to an empty telephone..." Maybe my most wanted disc. I'd probably prefer to have the original colors but I'll happily take the 2017 regrade too. I need this and Thief.

And there I was thinking you only dreamed of electric sheep.

I'd love to be offended that you're calling me an android but hey, it's true! Perhaps not in the biological sense, but certain in the emotional one.
