The big news today is that we’ve confirmed that Universal’s new Apollo 13: 20th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray will feature a brand new 4K high resolution remaster with DRS and color correction scanned from the original 35mm film negative. In addition to all the previous Blu-ray extras, the new edition will also feature Apollo 13: Twenty Years Later, an “all-new retrospective featuring exclusive interviews with director Ron Howard and producer Brian Grazer.” However (for those who may be wondering) there is no IMAX version and no Atmos mix. Audio is English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and Dolby 2.0, plus French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Brazilian Portuguese DTS Digital Surround 5.1. Note that this new film restoration is going to premiere theatrically on March 27 at the TCM Classic Film Festival in Hollywood. Click on the cover art below to pre-order the title on Amazon...
