Disney & 20th Century set more DIE HARD films for 4K, plus here’s the list of Lionsgate titles coming to Movies Anywhere in October!

Die Hard (4K Ultra HD Steelbook)

All right folks, we’ve got a surprise 4K Ultra HD announcement for you today…

Who had this on their 4K Ultra HD bingo card?

Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Home Entertainment and 20th Century Studios are officially re-issuing John McTiernan’s original Die Hard (1988) in 4K + Blu-ray Steelbook packaging on 12/1!

And here’s the even better news: They’re also releasing Renny Harlin’s Die Hard 2 (1990) and McTiernan’s Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995) for the very first time in 4K, also in 4K + Blu-ray Steelbook packaging!

For the record: Die Hard will be released on a 66GB disc (if I’m not mistaken, that’s how it was originally released back in 2018), while Die Hard 2 and Die Hard with a Vengeance will be on 100GB discs. Each will feature English 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio (along with French and Spanish options and subs).

The original Die Hard had only HDR10, not Dolby Vision. I’ve asked Disney for clarification on the high dynamic range that should be included on the new discs—when I hear back I’ll let you all know. It could be that all three will be HDR10 only, or it could be that all three will have Dolby Vision too (which would be a first for Die Hard). We’ll see.

In any case, it’s great news. And perhaps Disney deserves some credit? They DO seem to be ramping up their 4K UHD catalog output after a very slow early 2026.

And yes, we’re aware that the cover art is… sub-optimal. It is what it is. But frankly, we’re at a stage with physical media that I’m just thrilled to be getting these films on the format, packaging be damned.

Yippee ki‐yay, people!

Here’s a look at the cover artwork for each (we expect them to start appearing for pre-order on Amazon and other retail sites over the next two weeks)...
