Invasion of the Body Snatchers 4K UHD (1978)

[mar3o]

I'm wondering if it's worth waiting for an Arrow UK 4k release. Shouldn't an Arrow 4k release be coming, likely with the audio fix too? Or do they no longer have this title?

I really only want to buy this title on UHD once. This German release would run about $50 USD. If Arrow is expected to release this, I'd prefer to just wait for their release. Honestly I thought they would have announced this title by now.

I notice Michael McKenzie logged this on letterboxd two days running, with the tag '4K UHD'. Arrow upgrade incoming?

Senior producer at Arrow (and my mistake, it's actually Mackenzie).

So two MacKenzies are responsible for making great Arrow titles?

If you’re being serious, I did not. In fact, I’d never heard of Michael.

Is this another one of those impenetrable British references?

It's just Pete Tong when that happens.

I am being serious. And those names are online nicknames they used to have.

Look at me. A lifetime in this hobby and I still know nothing.

Dally says you still haven’t even warmed up to Exorcist II yet……

If Arrow is indeed doing a UHD of Invasion of the Body Snatchers that would be amazing.

It drives me insane that I get those brightness shifts while watching the Kino disc in DV on my Panny. I have to use my old X700 to avoid it (which miraculously has stopped freezing the way it used to).

The day after I die, I promise.

Well, you're in luck - Arrow just announced their version for February.

Michael was actually responsible for the Deep Red 4k encodes, and he delivered quite an impressive feature in the bonus materials, discussing the film's significance.

No Brooke Adams interview with Arrow so I have to keep the Kino.

As is usually the case with Arrow UK, does anyone know if the standard Blu-ray limited edition will be from Arrow's 4K scan?

Odd, but the product listing on their website doesn't state that it is. It would seem weird to just repress the old disc...

I know Michael from the ancient DVD Maniacs forum. Really nice guy. His Land of Whimsy site was my go-to for the most reliable blu-ray reviews back in the day.
