Very interesting choice, I suppose.

If I don't hear The Lees of Old Virginia blasting over my head in Atmos, it's not as the filmmakers intended.

Odd they couldn’t include the original mono audio on the 4K?

And while this film has its followers, very interesting choice for 4K from Sony

That is strange. Sony's been really good lately about including the original audio track on their UHDs.

The theatrical cut would be nice too, but I guess the director didn't like that version, so it's been "Lucas'd" out of existence.

Did an original mono track ever accompany the Director's Cut on home video? Maybe one doesn't exist? They make note that the original mono is with the theatrical version on BD, so I imagine they would have included it if it were available.

While not in 4K, the theatrical is at least included on the BD, as well as the Laserdisc version (in SD). I don't think the previous BD included either

1776 (1972) on 2022. I am numerically challenged.

How come Sony still hasn't put the word "Code" next to Digital on their upcoming home media releases? Other studios have put the word code next to Digital. I hope Sony is the last studio to put code next to digital on the front of their banners.

I’ll try not to lose too much sleep over this.

I would like to see BD-100 - 499 Mbps split into 4 discs printed on the front to get the message that the combined size is 1 cm closer to the source file size.

or Muppets Take Manhattan (hinted at on a SPHE UHD poll), Hotel Transylvania 1&2 (3 is on 4K, would've made sense to tie in with the fourth film) or hell even something like Surfs Up!

Watch Jim Carey in The Number 23.

It'll straighten it all out for you.

Because we hate exposition.

The original theatrical cut was never included on any blu-ray. The first blu-ray had two differing extended versions, which i could never figure out what the difference is (and they differ by about a minute!)

Exactly. It seems the film didn't get its Director's Cut until DVD and that DVD only has 5.1 audio for both versions. It seems like Sony are including original audio here, what with the mono on the theatrical and stereo on the Laserdisc cut, the only issues are that the Laserdisc cut is in SD and that the theatrical cut is only HD and not on a 4K UHD disc.
