I’m springing for it for sure.

Hopefully it will have both cuts of The Shining.

I'm wondering if it ends up being 4k only. I was about to offload all of my old Kubricks and realized I should hold off before that's confirmed.

Have they ever shifted all extras onto a UHD disc before? They'll still have BDs for the extras. My preference would be for a set with UHDs for the films and BDs for the extras, and a separate set for the Blu-ray crowd with the films on BDs. That way neither camp of buyers has to contend with a larger set to house an extra dozen discs on a format they won't be interested in using. But I figure Criterion will have the films on both formats in a single set. Not great for shelf space though.

Can someone move the long thread on this in the random speculation thread to here now that it has a life of its own? It would help curtail duplicate discussions on the same thing and keep other speculations from interfering with the discussion.

The Singleton set is just like that, separate Blu-ray and UHD editions with the UHD edition having a Blu-ray with all the special features (I thought that the Carax set was like this too, but I was wrong.)

I assume Criterion will either do dual format or only a UHD only edition with no corresponding Blu-ray only version .

I’ll get on that shortly.
