They were both SO freaking good in this..note perfect. Always wanted to see them team up in something again, ditto Crowe and Guy Pearce.

Anyway, bring on the M&C 4K. I'm very much in.

So we get the original bluray audio track too?

That nice artwork wouldn't have quite same impact on a boring plastic case. And in case you say "it's the movie that counts", while true, collectors also appreciate cool window dressing sometimes It's really no big deal. It's just packaging.

Seen A Beautiful Mind? Crowe & Bettany were both great in that one as well.

There was also a Best Buy exclusive with a third DVD, though it only has one featurette and I'm not sure if the trailer is a repeat:

Theatrical Trailer (2:45)
Bonus Trailers

regardless, that's a lot of extras from the Fox DVDs still missing and it looks like Disney is even going to drop the theatrical trailer that is on the Fox Blu-rays.

At this point I'm guessing non-Marvel movies will only ever get steelbooks from Disney, and all catalogs from them and Sony will be steelbooks. Unless it's MOD. I'd almost rather everything be MOD.

Gotta get used to it. Especially in Disney's case since they have never reissued any of their steelbook only releases later.

Your only hope for a standard release is if the UK gets one.

At least Lionsgate, Paramount, and WB price them reasonable. Sony just goes batshit with their pricing.

Elevation seems to care more about their consumers than Sony does, and it spread to their Disney titles. Sony and Disney have learned the worst lessons from each other.

The jcard for this just says collectible, so it should be another Tombstone situation where they come in and out and not Kingdom of Heaven where it was limited and only have came back the once and probably last.

Master and Commander was co produced by 4 studios (20th Century, Miramix, Universal and Samuel Goldwyn Films). Big Oscar winning movies like Braveheart and Titanic were co-productions with distribution perks ( Paramount in NA and Fox elsewhere). Master and Commander has different different distribution studios. Eg. Miramix for Italy, NA/UK/Germany/Scandinavia is 20th Century. France/Japan is Universal.

Will the 4k disc be shared to the co-distributors in their region or we will only see a 20th Century 4k release in areas where it hold the rights?

Pattern says UK standard with slip (Willow, Tombstone, Kingdom of Heaven, …)

Hopefully that continues to hold true.

*whistles*

Steelbooks a beaut. Special features are a must for this one tho

[trespoochies]

They did pretty well with the KoH extras and keeping just about all of them. I'm hoping it'll be the same for this one as well.

[Dorklord]

That's absolutely gorgeous!!! Dolby Atmos on this should cause my roof to cave in.

[fvg627]

Even if the UK release happens there's those godawful ratings logos. Actually the Italian release from Eagle for Tombstone is pretty attractive, maybe that'll be an option with this too?

Good, that means people can see it early and let us know if the Atmos is missing dialogue in advance of the disc release, like The Wiz.

These SB's often arent cheap in price, but are a cheap product.

Got myself an RSVP ticket for it. Hopefully, my schedule doesn’t get in the way.

No cheaper than a plastic case which you still pay out of the ass for.
