Kind of weird that Kino was the first one to break the news and not Paramount.

I could just watch the intro and then stop the film. This is a masterpiece.

Some people do just that given the length of the opening titles sequence…

grahams76 · 12-27-2022, 11:08 AM

So… unconfirmed then.

koberulz · 12-27-2022, 12:18 PM

Another for the "upgrade before ever getting around to watching the Blu-ray I bought" pile, huh?

HD Goofnut · 12-27-2022, 01:11 PM

I hope this is coming. This is my favorite Fonda film after 12 Angry Men.

Hell yes.

(Please God, don’t let Paramount screw this up.)

No release date yet, but given the UHD version is available digitally already on places like Vudu, that’s a promising sign.

Then again, Paramount has had other classics like Chinatown available in 4K digitally for several years now… still waiting on a physical release of that.

And it probably has the best music score of any spaghetti western, with all due respect to FAFDM and TGTBATU. The scene where Fonda is first revealed is also masterful.

Seeing that it's an anniversary year it makes complete sense for it to release in 2023.

Chinatown has an anniversary in 2024 so maybe they're saving it for then.

Dawn of the Discs has posted this - I guess it's official now!

I guess you could call 55 years an anniversary. But so is 54 years.

Burt Lancaster · 12-27-2022, 04:13 PM

Will paramount have access to the neg? The other Leone's seem to be lost.

Is it actually viewable in 4K? Last I checked the movie was getting included in 4K type sales and had the icon on its page but didn’t actually play in 4K with HDR. Haven’t checked in a long while though.

Well if it’s available to purchase in 4k that means that’s what it plays, just not all the ones available immediately have HDR grades, but Vudu states for OUATITW that it comes with Dolby Vision and HDR10 viewing options. So yeah, it definitely has HDR, I just don’t know how good it looks yet as I’m waiting for a sale to buy it.

Wow did not know it was already available 4K digitally. This is a great sign!

Stanshall · 12-27-2022, 04:44 PM

Vudu unfortunately not available in my country, surprised that nobody has taken a punt and reported back.

brian9229 · 12-27-2022, 04:50 PM

The 4K dv version is available on Vudu, I own it.
