The holiday season is about to get downright creepy!
Fan favorites Renfield and Pearl score their first 4K UHD releases with fancy SteelBooks!
Thanks to German label Turbine Medien, fans of the action-packed horror comedy Renfield starring Nicolas Cage as a delightfully unhinged Dracula and Pearl starring a delightfully unhinged Mia Goth will be getting the full 4K Dolby Vision / Dolby Atmos treatment this December. Firm release date hasn't been established yet, but they are for sure coming our way - and they're up for pre-order! Also fun for everyone, the artwork for both SteelBooks is fantastic - staying true to the original theatrical art and Renfield even sports a slipcover!
[UPDATE 11/9]
Turbine just updated their listings for both Pearl and Renfield steelbooks with a firm release date of November 30th! Initially, we were told "sometime in December" but hey, a few days early never hurt anyone, right? Looking things over it appears all of the specs are the same so get ready to enjoy that Dolby Vision HDR and Atmos audio to ring in your Yuletide season!
Renfield - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray SteelBook
Expect Dolby Vision HDR and Atmos audio for this one along with the following bonus features:
Pearl - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray SteelBook
And like Renfield Ti West's Pearl will debut with Dolby Vision HDR and Atmos audio along with these bonus features:
Now since these two are a couple months out from release, it'll be interesting to see if Turbine offers up MediaBook packaging options later down the road like they did with The Black Phone a few weeks ago. Again we don't have firm release date, but we do know they're coming in December and they are both up for pre-order! Thanks to an update on social media this morning, Turbine has set the release date for November 30th - getting ahead of all the holiday hoopla so order early and get your gift shopping done!
Happy collecting!
