Paramount heads back to the 1950s for a sci-fi double bill that it’s releasing on the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray format: more here.
Paramount has notably ramped up the mining of its back catalogue for 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray disc releases this year, and the latest to escape its vaults is a double bill of vintage science fiction favourites.
The studio is taking us back to the 1950s for The War Of The Worlds and When Worlds Collide, that are arriving in one pack on November 7th 2022 in the UK. It’s their 4K UHD disc debut, as you might expect, and you’ll be able to buy them in a standard or limited edition pack.
The standard edition you can find more about it here (and order a copy if you want).
The collectors’ pack comes with posh packaging and cards in the box as well, and you pay an extra ten quid for the privilege. You can find out more about that, and order a copy, here.
More releases like this please, Paramount. We’ll keep you posted as we hear more.
