It’s not about the package, it’s whats inside that counts…the Quality of Picture and Sound.

One of my favorite movies. I'll be pre-ordering it when available. Dare I hope for AI, Minority Report, Stargate and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy in 4K this year too?

Hey! What's wrong with New Jersey? I grew up there.... and then left.

Oh I missed this. Happy to upgrade though the blu was solid enough.

Please be in the same league as the Crow 4k.

Id like to see I, Robot in 4K also. I find that film pretty cool overall.

Id buy Dark City in 4K. I dont own it in any format and was about to buy the blu-ray for $9 bucks.

Love this movie. Tag.

I love that Arrow is behind this too.

I know they've had some QC issues from time to time, but they always seem to put out the special movies I'm looking for.

Arrow 4ks are the only non-steelbooks I even buy really.

There's no confirmation that Arrow is handling this.

At worst they'll use the 2K master they did for the DC but without the obnoxious dnr and edge enhancements. Or... there won't be 4K DC at all. Anyway I wouldn't mind a proper transfer for the standard bluray.

The DC is the better cut of Dark City. We need both cuts in 4K HDR.

Agreed. The DC is superior but the theatrical has a special place for those of us that saw it when it came out. I can’t speak for anyone else, but before I knew about the DC, I thought the theatrical was a perfect movie, my favorite of all time.

It’s truly a special film that deserves a quality release, regardless.
