Hearts of Darkness 4K Blu-ray

In the late seventies celebrated director Francis Ford Coppola and his cast and crew ventured into the dense jungles of the Philippines to begin work on what would eventually become his masterpiece, Apocalypse Now. But the journey from page to screen soon spiralled into a hellish, life-threatening nightmare that echoed the film’s narrative.

jeez.. great doc and all, but this needed a comically gigantic box full of tat? the 4k market is insane right now lol

After buying that chunky Apocalypse Now UHD boxset, I never thought I would spend more money on the film, but this kinda tickles my fancy - especially the two books. Weird that it is released on UHD? Sure. But I feel it will have a market

[SpacemanDoug]

Now this was unexpected

I'll buy it, it's a great documentary and it'll help Coppola pay those winery bills.

Dang cant preorder to the US from amazon UK for some reason (been able to on a bunch of other items before)

[UpsetSmiley]

£50 ouch, that's almost double what I paid for the Apocalypse Now UHD set back in 2019.

just worked for me...but I canceled after I saw it's $70 even with VAT removed lol.

[Old Bones]

$92 Canadian = PASS

[PonyoBellanote]

Totally unexpected for me as well, but love this set. It looks good, it's everything I want in the tats. If only they'd reissue Apocalypse Now this way with all the disc and extras to go with this one.

It really is. It's like they're actively trying to kill their own market.

Funny, because they were supposed to be working on that last year. I think the director himself liked tweets talking about that.

EDIT: No, just simply RT'd a post saying it'd come later that year (2024) coming from the ''gossip man'' we all know in Twitter.

Maybe something is delaying the release.

actually somewhat expected as the 4K theatrical reissue has been listed on FDA for weeks

I must be mad. I paid €27.99 for the 4K steelbook of the film, and pre-ordered this at €60. Give my head a wobble...
