Stanley Kubrick film Killer’s Kiss on 4K in June
Amazon Commissions Earned
The 1955 film “Killer’s Kiss“ is officially coming to 4K UHD Blu-ray on June 28th via KL Studio Classics. The film, directed and co-written by Stanley Kubrick, starred Frank Sinatra, Irene Kane, Jamie Smith, and Jerry Jarrett.
This comes from a new 4K scan, as noted here: “Brand New Dolby Vision HDR Master – From 4K Scan of the Original Camera Negative.” The tech specs include a 2160p video presentation in Black & White in the 1.33:1 aspect ratio with HDR10 and Dolby Vision forms of high dynamic range and uncompressed or lossless Mono sound.

It also is noted to be a 1-disc set on preorder listings.
You can now find the 4K UHD Blu-ray available for preorder over at Amazon and directly via Kino Lorber‘s website. The bonus materials set to be included with the release are listed below.

Amazon Commissions Earned
The TV show “The Boys: Seasons 1 & 2 Collection“ will officially be coming to Blu-ray Disc on May 31st via Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The show, as seen on Prime Video, was created by Eric Kripke, and it stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T.

The tech specs for the release include a 1080p video presentation in the 1.78:1 aspect ratio and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 lossless surround sound. There’s one problem with that aspect ratio the press release [later shown in full] mentions. The show is actually listed [on IMDb] to air in the 2.39:1 aspect ratio on Prime Video. So, that’s either a typo or an odd choice? We shall soon see. P.S. Fun fact, this show is said to be shot in 7K resolution digitally.
