‘Snow White' (Live Action) 4K Blu-Ray Details Revealed—Including ‘Radiant' Steelbook Packaging
The first bit of good news about the upcoming Snow White 4K Blu-ray release is that the film will be available in Dolby Vision high dynamic range video and Dolby Atmos sound for people with TVs and sound systems capable of handling these premium picture and audio formats. For people who own TVs that don't support Dolby Vision, such as all Samsung models, the Snow White 4K Blu-ray image will default to the HDR10 format, which doesn't benefit from Dolby Vision's extra scene by scene image data.

The image will be presented in a 2.39:1 aspect ratio, and will appear, as usual with Disney 4K Blu-ray releases, on a 66GB disc rather than the larger 100GB alternative. The film's 1h 49m run time should be short enough, though, to ensure that the picture doesn't have to be too heavily compressed to fit into the 66GB space.
As we're increasingly finding with Disney disc releases, the 4K Blu-ray version of Snow White will be exclusively available (in the U.S., anyway) in a steelbook edition, featuring what Disney describes as exclusive 'radiant' artwork.
Disney has also confirmed in its announcement of Snow White on 4K Blu-ray that the film will be accompanied by what looks set to be a decent mix of bonus features. Starting with a Sing Along With the Movie option which, as its name suggests, shows the lyrics of the film's songs onscreen as they play so that you can test your vocal abilities against those of the film's stars.
Disney has also rustled up a trio of deleted scenes to put on its Snow White disc releases. The only details provided on these, though, are their titles: Anguish and Opportunity, Danger In The Woods, and Hunt For Snow White.

Whatever your thoughts about the finished film, bringing Snow White 's originally animated world to life for this live-action remake was clearly a labour of love for the production team. So hopefully there will be plenty to interest film-making fans in the 4K Blu-ray package's Fearless, Fair, Brave, And True: Making SNOW WHITE behind-the-scenes documentary, in which director Marc Webb and various cast and crew members attempted to honor the legacy of the original story through the characters, set design and more.
Another featurette, Merry Tunes, goes behind the songs with the filmmakers and the chief songwriting due of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. Fairy Tale Fashion, meanwhile, features costume designer Sandy Powell joining the filmmakers and various cast members to talk us through how she breathed new life into the costumes for such iconic characters as Snow White and the Evil Queen.
Wrapping the Snow White 4K Blu-ray disc's offerings up will be a (presumably cussing-free) Blooper reel.

Lee Byung-hun reunites with Park Chan-wook after 24 years
21 Aug - Lee Byung-hun is elated to finally be reunited with director Park Chan-wook, 24 years since their collaborative project, "JSA". The actor, who spoke to the media at the press conference of his new movie, "No Other Choice," helmed by the award-winning filmmaker, said that he was first astonished by the comedic tone of the film, and wondered if the film really is about tragedy. "I asked the director if I could play it funny. There were so many darkly comic moments, I wondered if I was misreading the tone. He said, 'The funnier, the better,'" said Lee. In the movie, Lee plays the role of an employee of a paper company who finds his world changed after being fired from the place he has been with for the last 25 years. "During post-production, I watched him discover details on the big screen that he'd missed in editing. Tiny expressions, colour gradations, and etc. It made me realise what it takes to be a master. Also, why I'll never direct," he said light heartedly about Park. "No Other Choice", based on the novel "The Ax" by Donald Westlake, co-stars Son Ye-jin and Park Hee-soon among others.

Man charged with killing an ‘American Idol' exec and husband will undergo mental evaluation
A man charged with fatally shooting an 'American Idol' music supervisor and her husband in their Los Angeles home will undergo mental evaluation to determine whether he's fit to stand trial, a judge ruled Wednesday. Raymond Boodarian, 22, was set to be arraigned in a courthouse in Los Angeles but did not enter a plea. A judge suspended the criminal proceedings against him while a psychiatrist examines him to determine his competency. He's charged with two counts of murder in the killing of longtime 'American Idol' producer Robin Kaye and her husband Thomas Deluca, both 70, who were shot when they came home unexpectedly during a burglary on July 10. A judge at a court that specializes in mental health will consider the evaluation and decide whether Boodarian will proceed toward trial or be placed in a state hospital. Boodarian stood behind a window in a custody area of the courtroom, and appeared to try to remain out of sight. His attorney declined comment, and the district attorney's office had no immediate comment. Boodarian will undergo the same evaluation in the same small courthouse on Hollywood Boulevard where a man charged with stalking Jennifer Aniston and driving into the front gate of her home was recently found to be not competent to go to trial. Police said they responded to a 911 call about a burglary at the home of Kaye and Deluca in the Encino neighborhood of Los Angeles. Police said they found no sign of forced entry or other trouble and left. Four days later the couple's bodies were found, shot to death, when officers carried out a welfare check at the home. Boodarian was arrested the following day. District Attorney Nathan Hochman later said in a community meeting that investigators believe the couple arrived home unexpectedly while Boodarian was burglarizing it. He shot them with their own gun and later called 911 himself, Hochman said. Kaye had been with 'American Idol' for more than 15 years and was working on the upcoming season of the hit singing competition TV series at the time of her death. She had also worked in the music departments of several other productions, including 'The Singing Bee,' 'Hollywood Game Night,' 'Lip Sync Battle,' and several Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants.
