The 1988 film “The Accused“ is coming to Blu-ray Disc for the very first time on March 15th, 2022 via Paramount Home Entertainment. The film, directed by Jonathan Kaplan, starred Kelly McGillis, Jodie Foster (in an Oscar-winning role), Bernie Coulson, Leo Rossi, Ann Hearn, Carmen Argenziano, and Steve Antin. As noted, this film had previously never been available on Blu-ray stateside and this will mark its debut to the format.

The tech specs for the release include a 1080p HD video presentation [in presumably the original 1.85:1 aspect ratio] with Dolby TrueHD 5.1 lossless surround sound. You can now find the Blu-ray available for preorder over at Amazon. No bonus materials will be included with this release.

The 1986 film “Top Gun“ starring Tom Cruise is coming to 4K UHD Blu-ray in a big way on May 19th, via Paramount. The film, directed by the late Tony Scott, is finally about to receive a sequel with “Top Gun: Maverick“ later this year and that’s likely why this release is timed for its theatrical release. Top Gun co-starred Kelly McGillis, Anthony Edwards, Tom Skerritt, Michael Ironside, Tim Robbins, Meg Ryan, and Val Kilmer.

The release will come as a “combo pack” with the Blu-ray counterpart and a digital code (copy) of the film included. You can now find the standard 4K UHD Blu-ray release available for preorder over at Amazon and a placeholder page listed over at retailer Best Buy. It’s certainly worth noting that the film will be receiving a 4K UHD Blu-ray SteelBook release as well, available at all retailers, and now up for preorder over at Amazon and at retailer Best Buy. You can find a glimpse at the artwork for that SteelBook below.
