Saw II, III, & IV get 4K SteelBooks in October

Commissions Earned

The films Saw II (2005), Saw III (2006), and Saw IV (2007) are getting 4K UHD Blu-ray SteelBook releases on October 28th via Lionsgate. These will be exclusive to Amazon. Darren Lynn Bousman directed all three of these movies in the “Saw” franchise.

The tech specs for the release include 2160p video presentations in the 1.85:1 aspect ratio, featuring Dolby Vision (or HDR10) high dynamic range and Dolby Atmos sound. NOTE: These are all the theatrical versions of the film, and not the UNRATED cuts or Director’s Cut. This has already upset some fans of the franchise, and I’m unsure what the strategy behind this move was. Each release will come as a “combo pack” with its Blu-ray Disc counterpart and a digital copy of the film included.

UPDATED: You can now find Saw II“, Saw III, and Saw IV 4K UHD Blu-ray SteelBooks, exclusively available for preorder at Amazon. The bonus materials set to be included with these releases are detailed further below, after the break.
