I thought the original negatives were lost and hadn't been found?

Definitely interested, but unless they've found a better print surely the problems with the blu ray will be made even worse in 4k.

 

[Lollard2002]

Didn't they say for the Shout factory edition that they had to use an internegative as the original negatives were lost

2 UK cinema prints, everything else is lost unless it's been found since the SF release.

There's a statement by Neil Marshall here https://diaboliquemagazine.com/why-the-recent-criticism-of-dog-soldiers-is-bad-for-collectors/

 

[Lollard2002]

Good read and it does underline the problems that vanity labels have in putting out stuff...

I can't imagine that there is any upside to taking a theater print (that was used for the blu ray) that was already from a 35mm blowup of a 16mm source and making a 4K edition.

Definitely in for this if the transfer ends up being decent.

Yaaay!!! Finally! But yes, let's wait for transfer news

Lovely glossy release - be warned though it is one of the 'chunky' mediabooks like the Neon Demon German release so if shelf space is at a premium...(and who's isn't )

Thanks for the photos! I definitely plan to pick this up at some point... kinda hoping for a price drop though.

Also the glue sticking the slip paper to the box is a nightmare It actually tore the box trying to get the damn glue off

@Noodles do you know slips that can keep those New madiabook sizes?

You mean the plastic protectors? I don't use those, so couldn't possibly say I'm afraid. However, I compared it to some premium editions and this is at least 5 millimetres bigger in width, depth and height... hopefully that at least gives you an idea.

 

[galareta2332]

I have few of those mediabooks and they dont fit in

Signed by Sean on beautifull glossy XL mediabook.
I kind of like this new mediabooks, but so far its hard to find protective pet slips for them...

[BluSteel2012]

Neil Marshall has confirmed on his Instagram account that a new (possibly 4K) edition is in the works for the UK.....

 

[StifflersDad]

Hopefully from a remaster as the German disc picture quality even on 4k is poor

 

[Lollard2002]

I have the german pressing. The quality is not great.
