Warner scanned the original 35mm camera negative at 4K for the 2019 release, and John Hora's cinematography finally has its candy reds and cobalt blues back. The disc is HDR10 only with no Dolby Vision, the aspect is 1.78:1 instead of the theatrical 1.85, and the supplements are a 2009 Blu-ray carryover.
