The 2002 film “28 Days Later” is officially finally coming to 4K UHD Blu-ray SteelBook on September 1st via Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

Danny Boyle directed the film, written by Alex Garland. It starred Cillian Murphy, Naomie Harris, Christopher Eccleston, Megan Burns, and Brendan Gleeson.

The movie has received a new 4K presentation, approved by director Danny Boyle. Here’s a bit of info about that.

To fully capture and correctly present the unique visuals of this movie for its 4K High Dynamic Range debut, the assembled original source video was used along with the section from original camera negative as used in the original theatrical release. These elements were then color corrected to take full advantage of the wider available color gamut. The picture and Atmos mix were approved by Danny Boyle.

The tech specs for the 4K UHD Blu-ray include a 2160p video presentation in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio with Dolby Vision (HDR10-compatible) form of high dynamic range, along with Dolby Atmos and lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround sound. The release will include a digital code (copy) compatible with Movies Anywhere.

The 4K UHD Blu-ray SteelBook is not yet available for preorder at Amazon or Walmart, but stay tuned for an update. Bonus material to be included with the release is listed below.
