Bram Stoker's Dracula 4K UHD (1992) (25th Anniversary Edition)

[PNguyen]

This steelbook artwork is way better than the recent Bridge and Lawrence steelbooks. Hopefully they continue the same trend with Starship Troopers for the 25th anniversary.

For the Brits it'll no doubt be a zaavi exclusive, but that's fine by me

[KubrickKurasawa]

Sony has the right idea.

[CreasyBear]

Only art I would have liked more would be the teaser poster on a glossy steelbook with the red lettering embossed.

For some reason, Sony are neglecting to mention that this disc is going to have DTS-HD MA 5.1 and 2.0 Surround tracks in addition to the Atmos track, but they do mention new extras:

The piece you've quoted literally says otherwise. Wut?

[Rayjg]

Wish I had watched the previous release first. I buy too many movies

I meant in terms of them being new to this disc. I added the bold emphases on the audio tracks.

[postmodel]

I literally just watched the previous release for the first time a few weeks ago. And I am still all over this.

[MechaGodzilla]

Damn, another one I will have to buy again!

My thoughts exactly, but a package as sweet as this I simply can't resist...

Did they always say "NEWLY ADDED OG TRACKS" in previous press releases? I thought they just listed them exactly as they did there.

[storythecorgi]

That steelbook is absolutely STUNNING. I'm glad I didn't buy the 4K yet.

[teddyballgame]

Love that Sony is going back and cleaning up some previous releases. Watched the OG karate kid last night and could appreciate the slightly finer encode and DV grade.

I'll be getting this one for sure and probably the MIB steel too

[sfmarine]

Well this is great news! I never got around to getting the 4K so this will be a day 1 for me! Has me feeling all like...


Starship Troopers next!

[sancho]

Not a fan of Steelbooks, but.....

[PonyoBellanote]

Is this another one of those Sony re-releases with Dolby Vision? Ugh.. Look, I'm happy about those. I love them. I feel the DV is such an important upgrade and they add better bitrate, too. They're good fixes that make already good 4K remasters even better. But god damn. I can't buy them all even if I want to, even if I simp for them all. Sony please, calm down, or at least, STOP relegating those definitive discs to special editions that go out of stock in a month or so.. PLEASE.

At least I can be happy that I don't own half of the movies they're reissuing with fixes.. Labyrinth is the only one.

[Quint van der Vaart]

Ohh YES i will buy this on release day !!

[Geoff D]

Dear Sony

Re-release everything in DV with OG audio and betterer encodes and I'll buy them all again

Ta muchly

Geoff
