SUPERMAN (1978) 4K Collectirs Edition - coming from Criterion in 2021? - Blu-ray Forum

deepscan · 04-01-2021, 06:00 PM

Criterion’s first-ever 4K release is rumored to be in the making.

SUPERMAN (1978) is set to be the first of three initial 4K discs from The Criterion Collection (the others are tentatively BRAZIL and THE SOUND OF MUSIC).

The SUPERMAN set will come in two editions. A “limited collectors edition” is set to include the theatrical cut on 4K, and four Blu-rays that feature all three cuts of the film, plus new and legacy supplements (trailers, TV spots, etc,), isolated score track, five commentary tracks from the filmmakers and fans of the film, and a collectors book, all in a special red case.
The standard edition will be a four-disc blu ray set with the aforementioned features.
There will also be a new featurette created especially for this edition, “Superman The Legacy”, hosted by Darci Lynne with interviews from surviving cast members and new & archival interviews with stars of the Superman franchise.

This set is scheduled ......

HEY WAIT! APRIL FOOLS! This has not been officially announced yet, of course, for real. But then again, the definitive home entertainment release of SUPERMAN is still yet to come!

I hate April Fool’s Day more than you can possibly imagine.

I'm just happy they will include the lost interviews with Oliver Reed from his brief time on the production. Been waiting a lifetime for those interviews.

Let's hope the permaban hammer swings swiftly.

April Fool's Day is an awesome horror movie. The actual holiday? Retarded. I've NEVER enjoyed any April Fool's joke nonsense.

How funny.

dumb typo in the thread title was a tip-off

You know if this were Superman 2 and the RIC then I might just have hope that the Warner Archives might release this.

Having said that the April fools isn't that difficult to accomplish and is probably on WB's list.

Just think how one of the most amazing April fools I helped with was discussing an Itv Bank Holiday Monday cut of Superman 2 including the Brando scenes and then a few years later we had the Donner cut. Miracles can happen...

I heard that Criterion's first 4K titles will be Porky's and Good Burger.
