dir. George Lucas
C-Tier 4K. The prequel trilogy's digital origins limit what 4K can do for these films, and the C-Tier reflects that. Disney had Sony handling physical media production and the Star Wars line has been going out of print, with restocks uncertain. If you want the prequels on disc, buy them when you see them.
Walt Disney Studios · Ultimate Collector's Edition
dir. Ole Bornedal
Vinegar Syndrome picked up Ole Bornedal's 1997 US remake of his own 1994 Danish thriller, and a 4K of it was not on anyone's radar. Ewan McGregor as a law student working night shift at a morgue while a serial killer stages bodies to frame him. New scan from the 35mm camera negative in Dolby Vision, with a fresh Bornedal interview, a Will Webb video essay, and a 40-page book on the limited pressing.
