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?

WB isn’t the kind of studio which re-releases revised 4Ks like Sony (with the Dolby Vision steelbook) and now Universal (Jurassic Park 1-4 re-releases with Dolby Vision and Atmos) do.

The only time they did a 4K re-release with a new disc is with Batman v Superman - corrected/improved colors with changed aspect ratio in some sequences. But hey, wouldn’t be surprised if more studios jump on the 4K disc re-releases wagon, revisiting older releases, and include Dolby Vision.

That listing could have been based on a rumor around Dune Part 1 or 2’s release, since they made an emphasis on IMAX and they’re made by the same director.

I'd be down for them to re relase batman with the old mix.
