The Thing 4K UHD (1982) *TBA 2020 - Blu-ray Forum

Pieter V · 03-16-2020, 10:44 AM

OK, I have been told by a source (not that Russian leaklist from two years ago) this is planned for 2020. However this Coronavirus is messing up with schedules. Better to put in wishlist forum for now.

Universal Pictures definitely got plans for this movie.

Ok, we already knew it

trekky76 · 03-16-2020, 09:18 PM

Both need to be made available me thinks. I definitely want to watch the modern one first.

rallymonkey · 03-16-2020, 09:39 PM

Of course...I just ordered the 4K remastered steelbook. You're welcome.

Daz_85 · 03-16-2020, 09:39 PM

One of my top 10 favourite films, so I'd be happy to buy a 3rd time :P

Hopefully it's based on the Arrow 4K scan.

SleeperAgent · 03-16-2020, 11:51 PM

Need it. Day 1.

DR Herbert West · 03-17-2020, 12:36 AM

Dawn of the Dead
The Thing
Zombie
Maniac

Looks like it's going to be a great year for horror in 4K.

I hope it is real, it is my favorite horror movie!!!

I also hope that Universal will release PSYCHO (1960).

HeavyHitter · 04-09-2020, 02:08 AM

I've been holding off on the Arrow BD in anticipation for this...for a while now.

I am having difficult watching my Shout disc with the distracting EE.

Bobbyjoe766 · 04-09-2020, 02:34 AM

A day one purchase when it is made available.

Along with the Alien, cinema’s best extraterrestrial.

TXMoviebuff77 · 04-09-2020, 07:31 AM

I mean the Shout Steelbook version was mastered in 4K right? It looked freaking amazing!

rcafilm · 04-10-2020, 04:17 PM

Good news if true. I've been putting off picking up one of the many remastered Blu-ray releases.

I'm assuming you're Region B capable? Arrow's release is only £7.50 plus shipping right now.

My all-time favourite film. Might be time to finally buy a player.

I hope they remaster the audio with Dolby Atmos if this does become a reality.....and keep the original soundtrack for the purist.
