4K-UK Dawn of the Dead (4K Blu-Ray) [UK]
- Thread starter Space Cadet
- Start date
UK distributor Second Sight Films announced earlier this year that they’re restoring George A. Romero‘s Dawn of the Dead for an upcoming 4K Ultra HD release, with the original camera negative provided by producer Richard P. Rubenstein. The scanning, color grading and restoration is being managed by Final Frame under the supervision of Director of Photography Michael Gornick, and Second Sight has provided us with a bit of an update this week.
“Following the 4K scan of the camera negative, grading and framing approved by DP Michael Gornick, we now have about 4 weeks left of manual frame by frame restoration at Final Frame followed by the HDR grade for the UHD. We are releasing the 3 cuts on 3 separate discs (both Blu-Ray and UHD) plus bonus disc so the authoring stage will then take several weeks for the best possible encodes by David Mackenzie. We are currently hoping for a release date in February and will update again in the next month.”
“Aside from the 3 versions of the film itself, plus archive and new bonus material, we are also working on other exciting additional content for the box set. We have been very fortunate to have Michael Gornick involved and it was great to hear his comment on work to date: ‘I place upon this extraordinary effort a nihil obstat in certification of its quality’. More soon…”
Yes, the set will feature George A. Romero’s Original, Unrated US Theatrical Release Cut (2:07), Romero’s Pre-US Release Cannes Cut (2:17) and the foreign edition edited by Dario Argento.
The 4K Ultra HD discs will be Region Free, with a UK Blu-ray also coming.

That's the UK release though. I know it's being released in the UK by Secondsight.
But it doesn't mention the U.S. anywhere on that article you posted from what I can see......?
Secondsight is a UK distributor. There's already a thread for that. But this thread says its a USA release......

Ok it has all the cuts and it's region free. What's the problem ?
The problem is there's already been a thread created for this months ago. Now there are two......
And this is just going to confuse people as no U.S. release has been confirmed (as the title of the OP suggests).

Second Sight Blu-ray Discs most times are Region B locked
USA release will not happen anytime soon as no distributor has the rights in USA
This is exclusive to Second Sight UK Films
UHD discs will be region free as usual
This is a UK release thread already created back in January
It's a limited edition Box Set with UHD/Blu-ray Discs all in one Box set
At the moment it's just one box set but may be split into 2 box sets more details in coming months

Expected release date is February 2020 but that will very likely change to a later date
Release will be a limited edition box set
Possible at a later time will be standard release but initially will be a box set on release
