EDITORIAL NOTE: Yes, this movie has previously been released back in 2018 by Lionsgate on the 4K UHD Blu-ray format. However, it has since gone OOP (Out of Print) and sells for about 4 times its original price. This release will give fans a chance to own it for less in much better packaging. This time it will actually include supplemental materials and not just the audio commentary, as with the previous 2018 release.

Further below, after the break, you can find the full announcement regarding this upcoming release.
