This is a mystifying announcement. Not one I see myself buying. And I'm not ready for uhd yet. If ever.

And this is just a 4K remastered blu-ray, is it not?

They haven't said but I'd imagine so.

Didn't get the Arrow Blu, so this is a no-brainer for me.

I have the MGM and Arrow blu. This is a great title and I'd love it in 4K, but it's not going to be anywhere near cost-effective up this way.

Yeah, fuck Arrow, and fuck Trudeau for the wonderful inflation we have going these days!
