Paramount Reloads Michael Mann's 'Collateral' For A New 20th Anniversary 4K UHD SteelBook August 6thParamount Home Entertainment brings Michael Mann's 'Collateral' back to 4K UHD for a new SteelBook release. Pitching the same set of bonus features and A/V specs, this is a simple repackage using virtually the same artwork... just in a SteelBook. If you thought Jamie Foxx had it bad in this film, ask anyone driving for Uber on a Friday how their night is going! Michael Mann's Collateral was the perfect kind of action/thriller at the right time. With Tom Cruise at his peak (one of many, I guess) and an on-the-rise Jamie Foxx, the film was a blisteringly tense thriller with one of the most visceral shootout sequences ever filmed. And now it's coming back to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray again! In just one week from now, you can add another copy of Collateral to your 4K collection - or if you never bought it before - with a snazzy SteelBook case. Collateral - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray SteelBook The Limited-Edition SteelBook includes access to a Digital copy of the film, as well as the following legacy bonus content: Commentary by director Michael Mann City of Night: The Making of Collateral Special Delivery Deleted Scene with Commentary Shooting on Location: Annie’s Office Tom Cruise & Jamie Foxx Rehearse Visual FX: MTA Train Other than packaging, everything looks to be the same set as before. Once we have hands on we'll see if there's anything new about discs. Happy Collecting!Posted Tue Jul 30, 2024 at 10:07 AM PDT by: -

Paramount Scares Vol. 2 Will Haunt 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray on October 1Paramount is set to release the second volume in their 4K UHD 'Paramount Scares' collection line. Like the past set, we're getting four flicks on 4K UHD (three for the very first time) along with some slick swag items and another badass Fangoria mag. While some out there may lament another "box set" collection of titles, this set offers up a something for horror fans of all types. We get a slasher classic, a road thriller, the vastly better unrated version of a big-budget zombie epic, and the latest chapter in a particularly creepy franchise. All in 4K for the first time.... well three for the first time anyway. Paramount Scares Vol. 2 - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray FRIDAY THE 13TH PART II SynopsisFive years after the massacre at Camp Crystal Lake, the nerve-wracking legend of Jason Voorhees and his diabolical mother lives on. Despite ominous warnings from the locals to stay away from “Camp Blood,” a group of counselors at a nearby summer camp decide to explore the area where seven people were brutally slaughtered. All too soon, they encounter horrors of their own and the killing begins again. BREAKDOWN SynopsisJeff Taylor (Kurt Russell) and his wife Amy (Kathleen Quinlan) are headed toward a new life in California when their car’s engine dies on a remote highway. Amy accepts a ride from a helpful trucker (J.T. Walsh) while Jeff waits with the car. But when Jeff shows up at the agreed rendezvous, he finds his wife isn’t there. The locals aren’t talking; the police aren’t much help. With no one to turn to, Jeff battles his worst fears and begins a desperate, danger-ridden search to find Amy before it’s too late. WORLD WAR Z (Unrated) SynopsisIn this fast-paced, pulse-pounding action epic, former United Nations investigator Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) is in a race against time to save both his family and the world from a pandemic that is toppling governments and threatening to destroy humanity itself. UPDATE - only the PG-13 Version is in 4K UHD, the Unrated Cut is still a 1080p exclusive sadly. ORPHAN: FIRST KILL SynopsisEsther’s terrifying saga continues in this thrilling prequel to the original and shocking horror hit ORPHAN. After orchestrating a brilliant escape from an Estonian psychiatric facility, Esther travels to America by impersonating the missing daughter of a wealthy family. But an unexpected twist arises that pits her against a mother who will protect her family from the murderous “child” at any cost.

Shop For Tomorrow Today! - HDD's 4K UHD & Blu-ray Shopping Guide, July 29 2024The last week of July has approacheth! How has your Summer movie experience been this year? For me, has been a 'meh' sort of year. Welcome to Volume 5 Episode 9 of our weekly release guide. A look at the highlights of what's coming to disc the week of July 28th - August 3rd, as well as a look at announcements from last week. 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Releases- In a rather rare week, import Monday contains two titles that are also being released in the US market the very same week, they are Election from Paramount, and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. from Arrow UK. The US release of Election is actually a Paramount Presents branded release. Next, delayed from last month and with a different option, Purple Rain gets a SteelBook edition from Warner Bros UK. In a rarity, they did not swagify this one like they have done with so many other releases. There are no new releases for Tuesday, but there are a handful of decent catalog titles. First up, carrying over from import Monday and getting an actual US release that looks a bit snazzier, Election gets that Paramount Presents label release. And from Arrow Video, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. in their limited edition format, which usually carries a little bit of swag. Next label on the docket is Kino Lorber with a trio of titles. A musical with Steve Guttenberg titled Can't Stop the Music, star studded romcom, In & Out, and thriller romance No Way Out starring Kevin Costner and Gene Hackman. Universal's 2021 bio/drama House of Gucci get a 4K upgrade from Shout! Factory. Sony breaks Run Lola Run from the Sony Pictures Classics megaset, as a single movie release. From Vinegar Syndrome, standard editions of Invasion U.S.A. and The Sadness. The limited edition of The Sadness sold out pretty fast, collectors like me were not too pleased on the short order window! And still available from their direct site and released this month, Last Embrace from the sub-label Cinématographe, and Reptilicus from their VS label. For Friday releases, for some anime action with Mobile Suit Gundam Film Trilogy, Amazon US offers imports of Film One, Film Two - Soldiers Of Sorrow and Film Three - Encounters In Space. Continuing with Amazon US, these films were released last week in the UK, but are available more locally now, Limited Edition Indicator Series title Bruiser, and from Second Sight, their limited edition fat-pack of A Bittersweet Life. Or, you could opt for the standard edition 4K if the cost and swag ain't for you, or want to leave that limited edition unopened. Blu-ray releases- Blu-ray counterparts of the above 4K releases include The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Can't Stop the Music, In & Out and No Way Out. There are close to 80 titles in the blu-ray domestic releases category. The numbers are a bit skewed though, with this month's Vinegar Syndrom releases, and the previous month getting standard releases this month. Happy browsing! From 20th Century Studios, The First Omen scares its way to Blu-ray. Having not seen this film, is it worth a complaint that there is no 4K release? Probably. It is Warner Archive week, meaning their respective month's batch is available. Titles this month releasing on Tuesday include Harum Scarum, Idiot's Delight, Marie: A True Story, Northwest Passage, Scooby-Doo and the Witch’s Ghost/Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders (Double Feature), The Stars Fell on Henrietta and War of the Buttons. Anime highlights include Dark Gathering Complete Collection, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A’s: TV Series 2, Mazinkaiser: The OVA Collection and To Your Eternity - Season One. Kino Lorber has Bwana Devil 3D this week, which no doubt will end up in the libraries of the 3D hungry crowd! You know who you are, those that bought the first two and await the third one. Referring to Severin's release of Danza Macabra Vol. Three: The Italian Gothic Collection. TV on disc, the long awaited Ted Lasso: The Richmond Way comes out this week. Arrow Video box set The Nico Mastorakis Collection is also available this week. Honorable mention: Well Go USA revives the spider movie with Sting. Notable announcements from last week: Arrow Video has revealed their October slate of titles. Definitely a few good ones to match the month! Check out our news story here. In the on then off, then back on again category, it looks like BFI is back on track to releasing Watership Down to 4K on November 11th. Naturally I recently bought a mediabook blu-ray, knowing that there would be no 4K release, or at least, that is what BFI was pretty adamant about. SIGH. Continuing on with recent blu-ray purchases getting a 4K announcement, Paramount Presents title To Catch a Thief joins this prestigious double-dip honor too, with an October 15th street date. If your favorite film needs a 4K upgrade, I'm open to suggestions on which blu-rays to buy! 4K Release Calendar 2K/BD Release Calendar Which titles are you buying this week? Which ones are on your wishlist, be it to buy as an impulse buy or to wait for the right price?Posted Mon Jul 29, 2024 at 06:00 AM PDT by: -

Add Some New Discs To The Shelf! HDD's 4K UHD & Blu-ray Shopping Guide, July 22 2024Both 4K and blu-ray releases see quite an uptick this week. Not going to see it as a scorcher, but it's definitely a hot week. Welcome to Volume 5 Episode 8 of our weekly release guide. A look at the highlights of what's coming to disc the week of July 21st - July 27th, as well as a look at announcements from last week. 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Releases- Oh the choices! New releases, catalog titles, there are a lot of 4K discs to ponder. No UK releases to post, so let's move on to domestic new releases first. First, from the ever busy LionsGate, The Strangers: Chapter 1. This one also has a Walmart Exclusive SteelBook option as well. In almost an echo, but from Universal Pictures, The Fall Guy, with the Walmart Exclusive SteelBook as well. This SteelBook is unusual as Universal has not been doing Walmart Exclusives as much, usually general release. Paramount's TV side of things has Halo: Season Two, which, yup, also comes as a Limited Edition SteelBook. This time though, not a Walmart exclusive. Read a headline stating Season 2 would be the last season. And the last new release title of the week, from Warner Bros and DC animation, Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part Three. This one comes as a SteelBook, with no standard case release available. Let's move on to catalog titles and Criterion Collection, which has a pair of releases. They have the Mandarin language drama/romance Farewell My Concubine. And if that's not enough for you, the comedy/romance Risky Business starring Tom Cruise. A gaggle of Jaws sequel skus from Universal. First up, Jaws 3, which also comes as a Limited Edition SteelBook. Then there is Jaws: The Revenge, which also comes with a Limited Edition SteelBook option. And of course, there's the 3 sequels in one package with the Jaws: 3-Movie Collection. Paramount has classic cinema this week, The Lady from Shanghai with Rita Hayworth and Orson Welles. You can thank me for this one, I bought the most recent Kino Lorber blu-ray release this year. SIGH. Bumped from last week, still showing up as last week on Amazon, the two Kino Cult titles Cannibal Apocalypse and Nightmare Beach. The other two Kino titles slated for this week have moved to next. Blu-ray releases- Blu-ray counterparts of the above 4K releases include The Strangers: Chapter 1, The Fall Guy, Halo: Season Two, Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part Three, Farewell My Concubine and Risky Business. Even if you exclude the reissues and very-special interest titles, this week is still quite busy for the blu-ray category. Under the Janus Contemporaries label, this week look for Anselm. Anime highlights include My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 - Crunchyroll Exclusive Complete Set, Oshi no Ko: Season 1 Collection SteelBook, Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon - Season 1 and Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion - The Complete Season. If you can't get enough Nic Cage, RLJ/Shudder this week delivers the horror/thriller Arcadian. And if you did not import the 4K a couple of weeks ago from StudioCanal, this week Universal has the blu-ray of Back to Black. Under the MVD Marquee Collection line, The Linguini Incident with David Bowie and Rosanna Arquette. Honorable Mention: From Eureka Entertainment, this week look for some kung fu action with The Double Crossers: Collector's Edition. Next week, the flood gates are wide open for blu-ray releases. Notable announcements from last week: The Criterion Collection has revealed their October 2024 slate. Do check it out. Sony Pictures has announced that Columbia Classics: Volume 5 4K will be released on October 1st. There were a lot of other single title announcements last week as well, just check out our release calendar for the latest listings. 4K Release Calendar 2K/BD Release Calendar Which titles are you buying this week? Which ones are on your wishlist, be it to buy as an impulse buy or to wait for the right price?Posted Mon Jul 22, 2024 at 09:00 AM PDT by: -
