Australia are getting a standard 4K release of THE SUBSTANCE (2024) in May. But, for anyone looking for a SteelBook Edition of this film; France are getting one, which will be available from FNAC and Amazon. I don't think that FNAC ship outside of Europe, but Amazon do.

Release date is March 13th. The film has English and French audio, but there are no English subtitles. A Blu-ray is also included and it will probably be locked to Region B, which is compatible with NZ players.

Hmm. I remember, several years ago now, reading that the version of this available on home video has some scenes missing (I think they might have trimmed the movie shortly after release so that they could fit in more screenings per day). I have no idea whether the full version ever got a home video release, but it makes me wonder how definitive this new release will be.

DEEP BLUE SEA (1999) Limited Edition - 1-Disc (March 17th) [£30]

At an isolated research facility in the middle of the ocean, a team of scientists, led by Susan McAlester (Saffron Burrows), are working on a cure for Alzheimer's by genetically altering the brains of sharks. When a shark escapes and attacks a pleasure boat, the company sponsoring the research threatens to pull its funding and sends corporate executive Russell Franklin (Samuel L. Jackson) to investigate. McAlester has just 48 hours to prove the value of her work, but her experiments have made the sharks smarter. No longer happy to be injected, prodded, and caged, they begin to turn the tables. As a freak storm causes chaos on the surface, making it impossible to leave, the facility is flooded and the scientists must fight to survive against the rising water and the hungry sharks that now swim freely through the corridors.

Sony US are to release a SteelBook Edition of the 1982 Classic film; GANDHI Which won 8 Oscars at the 55th Academy Awards. Originally part of the Columbia Classics Volume 1 Collection, this stand alone release will include Dolby Vision as opposed to the 4K HDR offering in the Classics Collection. Dolby Atmos will also be included. No Pre-order links yet. 4-Discs: 2 4K and 2 Blu-ray. Release Date: April 29th.

This acclaimed biographical drama presents major events in the life of Mohandas Gandhi (Ben Kingsley), the beloved Indian leader who stood against British rule over his country. Dedicated to the concept of nonviolent resistance, Gandhi is initially dismissed by English officials, including the influential Lord Irwin (John Gielgud), but eventually he and his cause become internationally renowned, and his gatherings of passive protest move India towards independence.

Another Sony US SteelBook release previously only available in the Columbia Classics Collection Volume 2, and receiving a Dolby Vision upgrade, is the Bill Murray iconic comedy classic; STRIPES (1981).Not available for Pre-order yet. Release date is April 29th.

Hard-luck cabbie John Winger (Bill Murray) -- directionless after being fired from his job and dumped by his girlfriend -- enlists in the U.S. Army with his close pal, Russell Ziskey (Harold Ramis). After his barely satisfactory performance in basic training, the irreverent Winger emerges as the figurehead for a ragtag band of Army misfits. However, his hijinks threaten to cause an international scandal when he inadvertently commandeers a military assault vehicle behind enemy lines.

Great news!

I was just thinking about the Stripes UHD yesterday (and Howard The Duck). This would be a definite for me if I didn't already have the Columbia Classics Volume 2 version.

Warner Bros. US are jumping on the Clint Eastwood bandwagon, with two SteelBook releases for PALE RIDER (1985) and THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES (1976). No release date or Pre-order link at Amazon to date. Its available for Pre-order at Walmart, but its not exclusive to them I believe.

When property owner Coy LaHood (Richard Dysart) starts using a band of hooligans to terrorize a group of small-town gold miners into giving up their territory, an enigmatic man named "Preacher" (Clint Eastwood) arrives in town. Preacher fends off the attacks, and then goes directly to LaHood to negotiate. When the miners, led by Hull Barret (Michael Moriarty), refuse the terms, LaHood sends in Marshall Stockburn (John Russell) to take down Preacher and the others.

Josey Wales (Clint Eastwood) watches helplessly as his wife and child are murdered, by Union men led by Capt. Terrill (Bill McKinney). Seeking revenge, Wales joins the Confederate Army. He refuses to surrender when the war ends, but his fellow soldiers go to hand over their weapons -- and are massacred by Terrill. Wales guns down some of Terrill's men and flees to Texas, where he tries to make a new life for himself, but the bounty on his head endangers him and his new surrogate family.

Probably missed the Godzilla Minus One 4K steelbook :(

JB website page gone, but I was told in store yesterday that it wasn't in stock in any Christchurch stores, but that it was on order. (as information just from someone reading on a screen on what their internal system said)

Anyone know how more about how JB exclusive steelbooks generally work? Do they get more than one shipment of these or is it just an automated system putting in the wrong thing?

I was planning on going in again within the next couple of days regardless, but it would be good to know my chances.

JBNZ are a bit up in the air lately. What with items being available on their website but not in stores, and vice-versa.

I would go to your nearest store, and if they still don't have stock, ask them to let you know if/when any come in. Sorry, I don't know anything about their ordering criteria.

JBAU still have stock on their website, if you don't mind importing.
