Roman Holiday 4K UHD (1953)

[Akijama]

https://www.amazon.com/Roman-Holiday...es-tv&sr=1-447

Coming in August.

For the first time ever on 4K, ROMAN HOLIDAY features a legendary, Oscar-winning performance from Audrey Hepburn (in her first starring role). It’s the story of a modern-day princess who, rebelling against the royal obligations, explores Rome on her own. She soon meets an American newspaperman (Gregory Peck) who pretends ignorance of her true identity, in the hopes of obtaining an exclusive story. Naturally, his plan falters as they inevitably fall in love. Featuring Eddie Albert as a carefree cameraman pal, a classic Dalton Trumbo screenplay, expert direction from William Wyler, and featuring Edith Head’s Oscar-winning costumes, it’s a timeless romantic comedy considered to be one of the greatest films from the Golden Age of Hollywood.

[Show spoiler]Coming in August as per this French site. US links should follow soon.

1993? Might be a typo of 1953.

This was a no-brainer. Knew it was coming because that what Paramount does, lol.

I guess Ghost will be next.

[SpacemanDoug]

I wonder when Rosemary's Baby is happening

[Cremildo]

One of the best romantic comedies of the 50s. I'm in.

Of f*cking course...

*tears up Blu-ray bought within the past 12 months*

And still...no Ben-Hur. (Yes, I know, different studios.)

This 1993 remake is one of the rare remakes that is better than the original movie.

Funny thing is there actually was a remake, in 1987 though:

There is no 1993 remake. It's 1995. And a remake for another movie. But same lovely leading lady...

It definitely exists and is getting a 4K UHD release according to our highly esteemed poster Akijama. I vividly remember seeing it on a double bill with Sinbad's "Shazam".

[SmittysGelato]

I will gladly double-dip on this.

[Cardboard_killer]

Well, of course you will.

This was on sale last week for $4.99 via iTunes for the 4K digital, so it was obvious that was being released soon on 4K disc.

There's been a few Paramount titles in 4K on sale on Vudu that I've almost used my Google Opinion Rewards on but then I think "surely Paramount will eventually put them on disc like everything else"

Exciting announcement!

Think I’m good with the blu. I feel like Paramount will DNR this one.

It is going to be the same 4K DV/HDR master that is on iTunes and Vudu right now.
