Probably not, but this package includes a standard Blu-ray, so you can always buy it for that and have the 4K for future-proofing.

4K discs have many other uses, too. Playing fetch with the dogs as a Frisbee, skeet-shooting, drink coasters... they really are quite versatile.

Yes! I'm so glad I didn't buy the DVD and MOD bluray! This is great news....

Wow! Day one. I don't care what it costs.

Wow, I honestly didn't expect this at all. This is a Day one purchase for me. Love this movie.

MagellanvsHimself · 06-13-2022, 09:13 PM

Wonder what the chances are of Sony giving us a 4K of About Last Night?

BerryTheMusicMan · 06-13-2022, 09:15 PM

This is a pleasant surprise !

To be honest I thought that artwork was the original art. Pretty impressed. Hopefully original art is underneath.

Ok I just woke up. Please tell me I'm really awake and not dreaming!

I would love to see that happen along with a 4K of St. Elmo's Fire.

This sounds great, but after the mishaps with Ghostbusters and Labyrinth, I hope the "Original Dolby Stereo" is actually that and that it's encoded correctly. Also, I wonder which TV version they're including.

All that being said, this is unexpected and most welcome.

This release only proves one thing - It IS possible to synthesize excited bromide in an argon matrix!

PipesDonatello · 06-13-2022, 11:26 PM

Congratulations Sony. You graduate. You get the job.

Strangely my oldest memory of this one is when Mitch is walking through his dormitory while this song is playing. To me it really sums up the essence of the movie (along with Tears For Fears at the end).
