The 4K release has the same extras worldwide, a new special features discs was made with new extras.

Going by the specs and the content, it looks like Paramount did the work on the 4K discs and the new special features Blu-rays for themselves and 20th/Disney. 20th/Disney went the slight extra mile and is including the 2012 20th feature film Blu-ray in some territories.

Man, you are so right!! Seeing that full keyart image for the 4k edition, my god it makes no sense why it has been so cropped and zoomed to heck for the actual covers. bizarre settle on such a cramped image

The cover has an actual composition while the full keyart has plenty of empty space on the left and too much at the bottom. And the ship is still cropped on the key art, so...

Thank you both. So... as I'm in the UK it makes sense to get the UK Disney/Fox set with the blurays and NOT missing any extras??? Thank you.

The US edition (that I had already pre-ordered weeks ago), includes the 'Bonus' Blu-ray only, so that one only has the film in 4K. OK, I get that most Titaniacs here on Blu-ray.com already have one or more editions on 1080HD Blu-ray, possibly the 3D version included; but I do not, and I'm not 4K ready, so this interests me. I have now pre-ordered the UK one, and will likely drop my US order. I had to miss the UK 25th anniversary theatrical re-release run earlier this year, that I had been so looking forward to, as unfortunately I had shingles throughout. I've still never seen Titanic on the big screen.

You can always get the Italian version, which comes out on December 13.
It has the 4K Blu, the standard Blu + the bonus disc.
It retails for 30 Euros (27 GBP) on Amazon and other Italian stores.
Being in the UK, the standard Blu will be Region B locked, so you will not have any problems playing it back on your player.

I, too, missed the 25th Anniversary re-release in theaters, this year. But I have went to the 20th Anniversary 3D re-release (Even though I have the 3D Blu set), and was absolutely blown away by the 4K presentation.

Titanic is a movie that NEEDS the big screen, in order to be enjoyed it.
It just doesn't feel the same on a tiny screen.

No, Jim Collins is right. The original is less cramped and the ship isn't too cropped. Much better.

So take that key art and make a good cover without cropping it properly. Good luck!

I'm ready! I'm ready!

I'm sure Cameron would only approve a very accurate transfer. I guess we will see.

Are you being serious or do you need to see a doctor?

Okay then, here's an option that allows for a bit of breathing room

The ship has to be hidden slightly to mask the lack of desks and proportions.

All the rigging is cut off it's such a weird image. You see it on the funnels and whatnot and they just disappear.

Well, upside is it is the 2012 disc so no remastered picture or sound.

Right.
Even though I own the 3D 4-disc set, thus I already have the 2012 Blu-Ray release, I found it extremely stupid not to put a damn standard Blu-Ray in the package, like everyone else does.
I understand that studios want to cut off on costs of physical media. But what about those who still don't have a 4K TV|player, but want to watch the movie, anyway, and watch the 4K when they have upgraded?
What those people are gonna do?

Use Netflix, Amazon or any other streaming service?
Gimme a break, please.
No streaming site can offer, yet, the same quality of a Blu-Ray or 4K Blu-Ray and lossless audio as well.
For what a movie costs, on those sites, i'd rather have a disc that I can watch and store at my convenience, than to pay for a movie that I don't physically own.

It's also just stupid that they even charge so much for a Limited Collector's Edition, yet they don't even offer the 3D Blu-Ray.

[liamjaco1998]

I’d rather that image than the cgi ship from the dvd.

[CreasyBear]

I'm just going to put this in a 6-disc 4K case with the Blu-ray's and DVD's from the last release.
