All right, let’s start catching up on some of the recent Blu-ray and 4K announcement news of recent days…

Just today, our friends at Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment officially announced the 4K Ultra HD release of P.T. Anderson’s Boogie Nights (1997) on 12/16. The 4K package (available in both Amaray and Steelbook packaging) will include the film in 4K only, plus a Digital Code. But you’ll also get both new and legacy extras.

New extras include a pair of American Cinematheque discussion panels, one with the director and actor John C. Reilly, and one with just Anderson separately. You’ll also get the original P.T. Anderson commentary, the actors commentary (with Don Cheadle, Heather Graham, Luis Guzman, William H. Macy, Julianne Moore, John C. Reilly, Mark Wahlberg, and Melora Walters), some 30-minutes worth of deleted scenes, The John C. Reilly Files (another 30 minutes of outtakes and extended sequences), and Michael Penn’s Try music video.

Speaking of Warner and P.T. Anderson, the studio has also announced the Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD of Anderson’s new film One Battle After Another (2025). Look for it to street on 1/20/26, with the Digital version now available. The press release also indicates that a collectible Steelbook version will also be available sometime in “Spring 2026” featuring a host of special features newly-created by Anderson that are yet to be revealed.
