Man Of Steel And Pacific Rim To Be Released On 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will release Man of Steel and Pacific Rim on Ultra HD Blu-ray in 2016, the company announced.

As Ultra HD Blu-ray players become available to consumers in early 2016, Warner Bros. will enter the Ultra HD Blu-ray market. The first titles available will be Mad Max: Fury Road, San Andreas, The Lego Movie and Pan. Ultra HD Blu-ray releases will be made available day and date with titles releasing on home media for the first time, while films from Warner's back catalog – including Man of Steel and Pacific Rim – will be released throughout the year.

"We are excited to take this next technological leap which will allow us to bring our audiences the best possible home viewing experience with crystal clear images and immersive audio," said Ron Sanders, President, Warner Bros. Worldwide Home Entertainment Distribution, in a press release. "Ultra HD with HDR is the next, and most exciting, advancement in home entertainment, and with the anticipated proliferation of Ultra HD televisions in the coming years, our Ultra HD Blu-ray product offerings will truly complement the stunning capabilities of this new generation of home entertainment hardware. Warner Bros. is fully committed to releasing a wide range of Ultra HD Blu-ray titles, including both new release titles and offerings from our vast catalog."
