Afternoon, folks! Let’s knock out today’s latest disc reviews here at The Bits before we get to the breaking release news...

Dennis has turned in a pair of new Blu-ray reviews, including his thoughts on Patricia Rozema’s White Room (1990) and also George Seaton’s The Country Girl (1954) from Kino Lorber and Kino Lorber Studio Classics respectively.

Now let’s get to the big breaking news...

Warner Bros Discovery Home Entertainment has just set Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) for release on 4K Ultra HD + Digital here in the States (and also 4K UHD + Blu-ray in the UK)! The US street date is 10/1 (UK is 9/30).

As we mentioned yesterday: The 4K disc will include both the Theatrical and Uncut versions, HDR10 high dynamic range, and Dolby Atmos audio, along with legacy extras that include Ready Freddy Focus Points, 2 audio commentaries with Craven joined by members of the cast and crew, alternate endings, and a trio of featurettes.

The 4K will also be available in Amaray or Steelbook packaging. You can see the cover artwork at left and also below the break. [Read on here...]

Here’s what both versions look like (and if you click on the images you can pre-order them on Amazon.com right now)...

Also today, here’s the other great release news: Following the Godzilla Minus One Deluxe Japan Collector’s Edition news we shared a few weeks ago, four new home video versions of Godzilla Minus One are becoming available for pre-order today at US and Canadian physical and online retailers. The street date for each is still TBA. Here’s what’s coming...

  • Godzilla Minus One Steelbook (4K UHD + Blu-ray + Blu-ray Bonus)
  • Godzilla Minus One 4K (4K + Blu-ray Bonus)
  • Godzilla Minus One Blu-Ray (Blu-ray + Blu-ray Bonus)
  • Godzilla Minus One DVD (DVD)

The Japanese language releases include audio in Japanese or an English dub, with subtitles in English, French, and Spanish. (Note that English options for the extras may be limited.)

Unlike the Godzilla Minus One Deluxe Japan Collector’s Edition, these home videos do not include the black and white version of the film, Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color.

Here’s what the Steelbook version looks like...

Godzilla Minus One (4K Ultra HD)

We’ll post an update on the street date as soon as we have it, and we’ll share the Amazon pre-order links as soon as they go live (but if you click on that image above, you can see the Amazon listing).

Finally today, many of you have asked about the film versions that will be included on Paramount’s newly-revealed 4K Ultra HD of David Fincher’s Zodiac (2007), which streets on 10/29. We’ve asked the studio for the specific details on this and we’ll let you know as soon as we hear back.

Stay tuned!
