@icewire This is not a 4K release. It is Blu-Ray from a 4K scan.

Zavvi actually promoted it as 4K, but it's right in the specs that it's not.

Yes, even though Arrow has utilized 4K sources, they've yet to actually release a title in 4K.

😥 why are you doing this and shatter my dreams. I was actually a little confused by the descripion and I already feared it would not be 4K. But we already got a remaster, why not instantly make the 4K available 😪.

Still getting the Steelbook and the Premium Set 😅

I’m so excited about the steelbook design & the premium set design that the description could have said being released on dvd & I still would be sold! With that said I do agree A real 4K version of this movie would be awesome!

Agreed. I loved this movie growing up. I will get it just for sake of having a steelbook of it. Super disappointed they haven't done a 4K transfer

This is the same 2013 remaster, just with extras. Boutique labels just haven't gotten into 4K pressings yet. Kino is one of the first with their Hannibal 4K release.
