Is this the first instance of a film going direct from DVD to 4K (skipping blu-ray)?

That's interesting considering Kino Insider stated all Paramount UHD releases where previously released on blu. 🤔

Nah, never said mostly. Regardless he cleared up he thought this title had already been released on blu.

It was mostly by Paramount. I misread that previously. But yes, the KL Insider did clear up the confusion.

Would love to see a 4K of A Simple Plan

My luck once it gets a release it will be a BLU, like one of those recent Paramount catalog drops like 200 Cigarettes. A smeary smudgy frozen mess. The DVD looks better.

Makes me apprehensive about any Paramount catalog BLU drop.

Crash, Rad, Stiff Competition, Flesh for Frankenstein, Blood for Dracula, FleshEater, The Beastmaster at least in terms of North America releases. Or something like Summer of 84, Prospect, Real Genius only released on BD-R before.

Would The Outsiders Theatrical Version count?

Is this licensed to Kino? If so I'm surprised Paramount is not doing this themselves as they are on Catalog Releasing tear lately.
