Doesn't seem that long since Dead of Night was re-released in a newly restored version onto the Vintage Classics label with a feature length doc.

2K to 4K... won't be long before the 8K re-releases come along :rolleyes:

'The Elephant Man' 40th Anniversary Edition - Pre-order available at Amazon UK 4K - £34.99, Blu-Ray - £15.00, DVD - £12.00

Release date: April 6th

"A stunning new restoration of THE ELEPHANT MAN, with both picture and sound overseen by revered director David Lynch, this release is the perfect celebration of the films 40th anniversary. Starring Anthony Hopkins and John Hurt, THE ELEPHANT MAN is an extraordinary and intensely moving true story of bravery and humanity. John Merrick (John Hurt) is The Elephant Man, forced into circus sideshows and spurned by society because of the disfiguring disabilities he was born with. Rescued by a well meaning surgeon (Anthony Hopkins), he tries to escape a life of prejudice and cruelty as he tries to fit into a world ruled by Victorian sensibilities. Beautifully shot in black and white by the incomparable Freddie Francis, THE ELEPHANT MAN is an unforgettable story of human dignity and survival. "

something tells me Lynch is unlikely to do the same when it gets to Dune's 40th anniversary :lol:

Ypu never know Rob, stranger things have happened...and pigs will be seen flying:lol:

It would appear that this is the packaging for the 4K release

I am unsure if it will be the same for the standard Blu-Ray and DVD ones as well

Won’t be.The goodies are always in the 4K sets.

1971 British gangster drama VILLAIN is directed by Michael Tuchner, his feature film debut. Starring Richard Burton (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf) as a sadistic London gang leader inspired by Ronnie Kray, the film is based on James Barlow's 1968 book Burden of Proof.
East end gang chief Vic Dakin is a violent psychopath who lives with his mother (Cathleen Nesbitt, An Affair to Remember) whilst making a living by running a prosperous protection racket. After a tip off for a potential payroll heist opportunity, Dakin starts planning the job, bringing in a gang from the criminal underworld alongside associate Wolfe Lissner (Ian McShane, John Wick).
Detective Inspector Robert Matthews (Nigel Davenport, Chariots of Fire) has been tasked to arrest Dakin when he makes his first mistake and is watching his every move, determined to catch him in the act. When a gang member is hospitalised and Matthews is closing in, can Dakin silence him before he confesses all?
