Commissions Earned
The 2011 science fiction/comedy “Paul“ is coming to 4K UHD Blu-ray on November 18th via KL Studios Classics [Kino Lorber]. Greg Mottola directed the film. It starred Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and featured the voice talent of Seth Rogen. It also co-starred Jason Bateman, Kristin Wiig, Bill Hader, Sigourney Weaver, Jane Lynch, and Jeffrey Tambor.
The theatrical cut of the movie has received a new 4K scan of the 35mm original camera negative (approved by Director Greg Mottola). The tech specs for the 4K UHD Blu-ray include a 2160p video presentation in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio with Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) with lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround and 2.0 stereo sound, on a BD-100 disc.
The 4K UHD Blu-ray is now available for preorder at Amazon and Walmart. It was just added, so it’s at its MSRP, and you can expect that price to drop. Also, you can preorder directly via Kino Lorber’s website.

And last, but not least, this part is always so fun to cite my original social media posts. Anyone telling me that I didn’t report it early enough is sure to look like a fool. Here, I decide when I report the news. It gets reported in various forms. This particular title lacked a preorder until just an hour ago.
