Blu Ray?


Anybody hear of a restoration print/blu ray version in the works?

Most videophiles seem to have given up on the prospect. However, the 1080p version currently streaming is very good. Foreground is sharp and colors are vivid. No one seems quite sure what the original elements are for that version.

It is a placeholder productpage of Amazon. They have those of all sorts of unreleased blu-rays of popular films. No blu-ray of Around the World in 80 Days (1956) has been announced yet.

I believe a blu ray will be out sooner rather than later.
Around 80 days….😝

I am sorry that you were disappointed. ;-)

The blu-ray (or 4k) release is taking an awful long time to appear. It is one of the few films that are still on my personal list of dvd's I want to replace with blu-ray. Not sure why it is taking so long: it is a fairly well known film and just about every other classic as received a blu-ray release a long time ago.
