Damn, I have the super nice Criterion but if the 4K beats it in PQ this is a must-have

D'oh. I thought it was French.

As long as it retains the accurate color-timing of the Criterion, not the botched one of Universal’s Blu-ray.

kristoffer · 11-03-2020, 09:17 AM

Great! This will give me a chance to finally see this.

LMFAObros · 11-03-2020, 11:14 AM

I'm in if this gets an Aussie release(doubtful?)

Fat Phil · 11-03-2020, 11:21 AM

Sweeeet. But as Filmmaker said....has to have the correct colour timing.

imsounoriginal · 11-03-2020, 12:10 PM

Was very confused for a second, thinking this was for The Right Stuff.

But this is good news too.

evanft · 11-03-2020, 01:53 PM

And Criterion gets dunked on AGAIN.

4kUltraBD · 11-03-2020, 02:05 PM

PLEASE have a USA release!

Also, PLEASE have the correct color timing on said USA release!

Geoff D · 11-03-2020, 02:07 PM

Docrossi will be pleased, it's another Criterion that's been circumvented. I've got the Criterion anyway, will see how the colour timing on the UHD ends up before buying.

I'm pleased that another good movie is getting released on UHD. As for Criterion being left in the dust yet again, it only serves as a sad reminder of the innovative leader that Criterion used to be and how far they've fallen from the vanguard. If Criterion would get off their butts and make stuff like this, then I would be pleased.

gates70 · 11-03-2020, 02:31 PM

Never seen it but have it in my wishlist...will buy the 4K instead!

Scottishguy · 11-03-2020, 02:54 PM

Oh Criterion

In fairness to Criterion on this, I wonder if the big studios might actually be hoarding the 4K releases for themselves.

I mean Universal seemed to have no problem giving Shout UHD rights to They Live, Prince of Darkness and Army of Darkness.

So yeah this is definitely Criterion. That being said I'm hanging to my copy of their BD. The remastered Making "Do the Right Thing" is enough reason.

If this has the other Spike Lee commentary, this is an essential compliment to the Criterion release.

Throw in Three Brothers as an extra?

Uni are more than likely just going to use whatever extras that were on the 20th Anniversary Blu.

Bn43 · 11-03-2020, 03:24 PM

I was waiting for this. Held off on upgrading the inferior 2009 version because I expected Lee's most successful movie to get a UHD at some point. But I didn't expect it until the 35th anniversary. I guess Europe is not as stupid about anniversaries as the United States, if this is true.
