Posted Tue Oct 17, 2023 at 12:14 PM PDT by Matthew Hartman
Ahead of the upcoming musical remake, Steven Spielberg's Oscar-nominated classic comes to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray to help celebrate Warner Bros. 100th.
Warner Bros. certainly is keeping the 100th Anniversary celebration rolling giving collectors a 4K upgrade of Spielberg's classic drama. With an all-star cast including Danny Glover as well as Woopie Golberg's breakout role and the first acting turn from Oprah Winfrey. We don't have full specs, and we don't know the final audio format or HDR grade, but given it's Spielberg, it's sure to look and sound incredible. Here's the show as we know it:The Color Purple - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray
The Color Purple Ultra HD Blu-ray disc contains the following previously released special features:
- Conversations with the Ancestors: The Color Purple from Book to Screen
- A Collaboration of Spirits: Casting and Acting The Color Purple

Now up for pre-order, we don't see any U.S. retailer exclusives yet, but this being a Warner Bros. title, I imagine a more interesting release will be seen in the U.K.Here's the full pre-order:
