Speaking of Sony, Second Sight Films in the UK has just begun taking pre-orders for Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive: Limited Edition in 4K/Blu-ray Combo format. The set is due to ship on 5/30 for £54.99. One suspects a US regular edition release from Sony will follow in the months ahead. Meanwhile, here’s the link to pre-order. Thanks to Bits reader Steven B. for the heads-up. BTW, Second Sight also has a new 4K edition of The Witch coming on 6/20 if you’re interested.

And finally today, Warner Bros. tells me that their long-awaited Mad Max: The Road Warrior 4K Ultra HD replacement discs will officially begin shipping out soon (as in sometime in the next week or two) via a vendor they’ve contracted specifically to expedite things.
