The 4K existed before this, buried inside the Luc Besson 9-film box set from Sony last November. Both the 148-minute US cut and the 158-minute international version, Dolby Vision, Atmos. Now Gaumont is giving it a proper standalone release in June with a steelbook illustrated by Flore Maquin and a wild Fnac-exclusive 6-disc edition that includes a vinyl soundtrack and a 232-page making-of book. The big question for importers is subtitles. The film was shot in English, but French releases have a history of forced French subs or swapped opening sequences. English subs are listed on the French Amazon page, which is encouraging. Sony holds the US rights and StudioCanal has the UK, so a Region A standalone may or may not follow. Collectors who grabbed the Besson box already have the disc, but anyone waiting for a single release finally has a date.
