For its 80th birthday year, Casablanca is getting a release on the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray format, in two different flavours.
As the catalogue of 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray continues to expand, classic older movies still feel a little bit of a blind spot when it comes to choosing what to release on the format. As such, a warm welcome to a genuine vintage classic: 1942’s
Casablanca.
The film is a princely 80 years old this year, and it’s a terrific chance to catch up with the movie if you’ve never had the chance. Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman lead the cast, under the eye of director Michael Curtiz. And the film will be arriving on 4K disc in two flavours.
There’s the standard edition, which
you can find out more about here.
And then there’s the posh deluxe Steelbook variant, that comes with an extra disc of material and some lobby cards and set blueprints. You can
find more on that one here.
Both editions go on sale in the UK from November 7
th 2022, and they’re both up for preorder now. Should end this with a round up the usual suspects gag really, but can’t think of one. Apologies.
