We’re starting the week here at The Bits with three new disc reviews today, including...

Stephen’s look at André Øvredal’s The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023) in 4K Ultra HD from Shout! and Scream Factory.

Stuart’s thoughts on The Alaskans: The Complete Series (1959-60) on Blu-ray from the Warner Archive Collection.

And Dennis’ take on Vincent Sherman’s Nora Prentiss (1947) also on Blu-ray from the Warner Archive Collection.

More reviews will follow each day this week, so be sure to stay tuned for them!

Now then, in terms of announcements this afternoon, the big news is that Paramount has just set Michael Gracey’s Better Man (2024) for 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray and DVD release on 5/13, with the Digital due to become available tomorrow, 2/11. Extras will include a pair of behind the scenes featurettes, including (Let Me Entertain You: The Making of Better Man and Monkey Business: The VFX). [Read on here...]

All right, we’ve got a big update for you today, with lots of news, a few rumors, and some announcements too. But first...

I’ve just posted my in-depth review of Shout! Factory’s long-awaited Space: 1999 – The Complete Series Blu-ray set, which marks the first time Year Two of the series has been available on the format here in the States. It includes all 48 remastered episodes (sourced from the recent Network remaster) with a bunch of legacy extras and some good new content too. You’ll find that here.

Also here at The Bits today, we’ve updated our 4K Ultra HD Release List with some new titles that we have reason to believe are coming (more on that in a minute), along with pre-orders for a couple of titles we’ve already confirmed are coming (Men in Black International and more). We also have a street date for Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 4 from our retail sources (tentatively look for it on 9/24). [Read on here...]

Today’s Bits postings are a double-header, and this first one will be pretty substantial. I’ve unfortunately come down with the flu, so the last few days my functionality has been limited. But, I’m going to do a couple posts today to make up for it.

Before we begin, though, we’ve posted 4 new Blu-ray reviews here at The Bits in the last few days, including... Tim’s look at The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires from Scream Factory, Ecco and The Forbidden from Severin Films, and the Region B release of Dragonwyck (1946) from Powerhouse Films and Indicator. We also have Dennis’ look at Stan & Ollie on Blu-ray from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Enjoy!

So... first things first: We’ve confirmed with Warner Bros. that their new Burton/Schumacher Batman 4K releases will feature new Dolby Atmos audio mixes on both the 4K and the Blu-rays in the package. Those Blu-rays will be remastered too. High dynamic range will be HDR10 only on the 4Ks. And the Blu-rays will carry over all of the previous BD extras with one exception: Don’t expect to find the Batman: The Birth of a Modern Blockbuster featurette from the recent Batman: Diamond Luxe Blu-ray. Beyond that, most everything should be there. (Thanks to Bits reader Anthony DiPaola for spotting that). [Read on here...]
