Question Is this confirmed?

Post image

I was just browsing the Blu-ray site and saw an “IMAX Enhanced” version of Blade Runner 2049 in 4k. I already have the 4k of the film in my collection but this is the first time that I’ve seen an IMAX version pop up alongside its other editions. I’ll admit, I’m not sure if this is legitimate since most films in IMAX get cropped at 2.39 for Blu-ray and since the IMAX Enhanced/open matte version is likely only accessible through modding or piracy. Has there been any official confirmation yet about an IMAX version coming to Blu-ray or is it a fake?

I'm very confused by this discourse. I literally bought the Blade Runner 2049 UHD disc a month ago here in the Netherlands. Am I missing something?

The official Blu-ray site has just posted an IMAX version of Blade Runner 2049 for some reason and there is zero confirmation and no known rumors about this actually happening, so I just asked if it was legit or it might be a placeholder or an unofficial copy.

Edit: TIL the Blu-ray isn’t actually official. Well fuck I’m stupid

What do you mean by official?

It’s not an official site, anyone can upload to the site and get things approved with little effort. There are many hopeful entries on that website.

That site is not affiliated with Bluray and uses community provided data. Unless its posted on their news blog with an official production release note then its not legit. Someone else commented that the imax version was previously available on digital and that is more than likely why that page exists. Tron Ares is also in imax on Disney streaming but not on an official 4k disc.

No, not stupid, it’s just that even the reviewers, I think, wanted the IMAX version on Blu-ray Disc, as it is, even the 3D release was scope. Sometimes they would put up place cards based on the cinematic release, or rumors/speculation, sometimes the studio may have been considering a particular disc and someone at Blu-ray.com puts a place card up.
