All right, we’re working to smooth out some server issues here at The Bits , so today’s post will be brief. But we do have a couple of quick things to report for you today... First, we’ve gotten a ton of requests over the years from readers wondering when DreamWorks’ Prince of Egypt and Antz were going to be released on Blu-ray. And the answer, finally, is October 16. You can pre-order them here and here on Amazon and you can see the cover artwork for Prince of Egypt on the left there (and also below). Each will feature 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio and it appears that the previous DVD extras will carry over. Thanks to Bits reader Chris C. for the heads-up on this. [Read on here...] One other things: Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has begun to re-solicit all of their DC live action superhero films for re-issue Blu-ray/4K on 10/2. It seems likely that this is part of the studio’s effort to gear up for the yet-to-be-announced release of Superman: The Movie in 4K Ultra HD. S...

We’ve also got David Seuling’s look at Robert M. Young’s The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez (1982), as newly released on Blu-ray from The Criterion Collection. Both are worth a look, so check out the reviews and give them a shot. Now then... in announcement news, we have a couple interesting things for you... [Read on here...] First up, not exactly an announcement, but we’ve learned from director Christopher McQuarrie (via Twitter) that Mission: Impossible – Fallout will feature the IMAX presentation when it arrives on 4K Ultra HD later this year. It’s possible that the Blu-ray release will as well. McQuarrie has also confirmed that he and actor Tom Cruise are recording an audio commentary track for the release. So watch for that on Blu-ray and 4K. Speakin...

Sorry for the lack of news posts these last couple of days, as I’ve been slammed working on disc reviews. As such, we’ve got a bunch of new and recent ones for you, including... My own take on Marvel’s The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron in 4K Ultra HD (my Avengers: Infinity War review is coming soon as well, I just need time to check out the full audio commentary).

It will also include the previous Blu-ray edition, with all its extras, and a digital copy. You can pre-order it now on Amazon by clicking on the artwork below. Side note about Universal… the company appears to be reissuing a whole bunch of catalog titles on Blu-ray throughout the month of October. Deep catalog stuff. So if you’ve missed any titles, you’ll probably find that a new edition is coming then. [Read on here...] Also, we have word f...

We mentioned it yesterday here on the website, but we now have final cover artwork from Lionsgate for their 4K Ultra HD release of Sam Raimi’s original The Evil Dead .

As we reported yesterday, the 4K disc will include audio commentary with writer-director Sam Raimi, producer Robert Tapert, and star Bruce Campbell. The film has apparently been scanned in 4K (presumably from the original 16mm, though the studio’s press release doesn’t indicated the source), and the disc will feature Dolby Vision HDR and English 5.1 Dolby TrueHD audio.
