'Get Carter' (1971) - 4K UHD + Blu-ray pre-order available from Amazon UK - £29.94 or BFI direct - £29:99

Release date: July 25

"Michael Caine is Jack Carter, the London gangland enforcer who returns to his hometown of Newcastle to avenge his brother's death. Rarely has the criminal underworld been so realistically portrayed as in this 1971 masterpiece. Shot on location, resulting in a devastatingly authentic snapshot of life in the north east of England in the late-industrial period, Get Carter remains arguably the grittiest and greatest of all British crime films. Newly restored in 4K from the original camera negative by the BFI, and approved by director Mike Hodges, Get Carter is back, looking and sounding better than ever."

Nice to see no (if very few) complaints online about it being an upscale. May not be true HD, but since the original film elements can't be located, they obviously think the materials that are available would look better upscaled than just slapping it on dvd.
