Do we know if the special edition is gonna be included in 4k?

 

[JinxyKatte]

Will be waiting for the reviews before I bite. Nothing personal but James Cameron scrubbed all the grain from the blu-ray and unless it looks like the film I saw in the cinema, I"m not biting. I'm holding on to my CAV laserdisc box set.

Scuttlebutt has been for a while (with additional new info) that he never approved the 4k. That there was a new master used for the 3d which had aggressive dnr for the 3d which was then also used for the 4k which shouldn't have been. And if the Scuttlebutt on Titanic is anything to go by that's looking to be amazing.

Also I really love the word Scuttlebutt.

Imagine being sold out. >.<
You can still preorder this one and cancel it later down the road if steelbook gets announced.
However steelbook maybe released late way after amaray... no guarantees there.

Yea I'm with you. I've waited long enough for this release, I will hold out a little longer in hope of a Steelbook.

I’ll bite. But I’ll never give up my Alien Quadrilogy for the sake of the amazing extras.

Holding out for a steelbook release too, the only thing that worries me is that Disney owns the rights to the Alien franchise…

Feel like we've been waiting an age for this, and there's still almost another 2 months to go

Doesn't appear to be.... No sign of a trade wide release anyway. I wonder if a premium retailer might be in a position to knock something up in the future? I'd even settle for a discless edition at this rate.

Same. I’m hoping for some boutique to pick this up and give us a steel. Fingers-crossed.
