So basically no pending release then.

Bummer

Back to the wishlist.

Heat would be one of the best releases of the year.

Heat is one of the best movies of all time in my opinion. The 4K UHD will be out sooner rather than later I'm betting.

[The Godfather]

Hopefully sooner than later. @Spartan21, I agree it is one of the best movies of all time.

So then...what exactly was the point in posting that and getting people excited?

I get so excited every time this thread gets updated only to be disappointed :-(

Heat is never coming out on physical 4k disc next year most likely February.

Yes, then we can look forward to the inevitable Bill hunt update, "Just like we said and broke here exclusively many months ago, it's finally coming according to our sources at the studio. It was just a disc replication error caught in QC and Disney did the right thing and repressed it. You should be thankful, because if Disney had to do a big recall they likely wouldnt like the cost of that and would stop doing UHD catalog titles. If you like these exclusive breaking updates, id like to take this time to ask you to donate to my website. We're keeping up the fight for physical media."

Quite obviously to prove that the source here that leaked it a while ago was indeed correct even though its been pulled off the schedule for now, hopefully only temporarily. Not hard to figure out...

Based on what?

Based on the movie's status and popularity.

I dunno. Disney is not exactly cranking out the 4K titles.

Here's what's on Disney's release schedule for this year:

1. Black Widow 4K (2021) Disney / Buena Vista Sep 14, 2021
2. Cruella 4K (2021) Disney / Buena Vista Sep 21, 20211, 2021
3. Free Guy 4K (Ultimate Collector's Edition) (2021) Disney / Buena Vista Oct 12, 2021
4. Jungle Cruise 4K (2021) Disney / Buena Vista Nov 16, 2021
5. Luca 4K (2021) Disney / Buena Vista Aug 03, 2021
6. Raya and the Last Dragon 4K (2021) Disney / Buena Vista May 18, 2021
7. Soul 4K (2020) Disney / Buena Vista Mar 23, 2021
8. Speed 4K (1994) Disney / Buena Vista May 04, 2021
9. Unbreakable 4K (2000) Disney / Buena Vista Sep 21, 2021
10. Who Framed Roger Rabbit 4K (1988) Disney / Buena Vista Dec 07, 2021

If Disney is looking at the numbers, I would think "Taken" would be released before "Heat."

Watched again last night. The 2017 Mann-supervised release is more than enough for me. Will skip this one until it’s way down in price (assuming reviews are good enough).

And you got all that from a picture and...

This movie has some of the worst dialogue to action sequences as far as turning the volume up and down. It's so annoying.

I don't know if we'll be seeing this title anymore - it's a New Regency film and it doesn't look like Disney wants to continue having their films distributed by 20th Century Studios so we may see this in UHD eventually but right now I'd say this title is in rights limbo until Disney makes a decision.

So, you're saying Disney may be selling the rights to New Regency films to some other taker, or just not re-upping Fox's prior deal?

[chocolat]

why doesn't Mann just buy the rights back to Heat. He'd only have to pay peanutz

Excellent observation. According to Wikipedia, Disney only owns 20% of Regency Enterprises. And "Heat" was a co-production with Michael Mann's company. Which begs the question: Why. Would. Disney. Bother. With. This?

"Uh, because Heat is the greatest movie ever made and Disney knows it."
