The classic horror movies getting the 4K treatment train keeps a rolling' today as we now have word via AVP Galaxy that Ridley Scott's original 1979 sci-fi horror masterpiece ALIEN will be hitting 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray on Alien Day (aka April 26th) 2019.
Evidently, this is still only a RUMOR at this point, but the site does say "Czech retailer FilmArena posted numerous listings for various Alien 4K editions, to be released at the end of April 2019. Other Alien 4K listings include Lenticular, 3D, Steelbook versions and an “Alien Maniacs” Collector’s Box including all the different versions of it."
No other details about the sets are known at this time, but you can see the various artwork below. I guess it's worth noting that the artwork featured below are all presented in a small resolution, and more than likely going to change over time. All the same, check 'em out and let us know what you think!
For those of you that may have forgotten, the film begins
In deep space, where the crew of the commercial starship Nostromo is awakened from their cryo-sleep capsules halfway through their journey home to investigate a distress call from an alien vessel. The terror begins when the crew encounters a nest of eggs inside the alien ship. An organism from inside an egg leaps out and attaches itself to one of the crew, causing him to fall into a coma.
Again, all of this today has just been rumor at this point, but if it ends up being true, that means Ridley Scott's original 1979 sci-fi horror masterpiece ALIEN will be hitting 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray on Alien Day (aka April 26th) 2019.
