“Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” Special Edition 4K Finally Coming!

We are absolutely delighted to share the news that Robert Zemeckis’ brilliant “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” is finally getting a special edition 4K release. Starring Bob Hoskins, Charles Fleischer, Kathleen Turner, Stubby Kaye, Joanna Cassidy, Alan Tilvern, and Christopher Lloyd, this film is one of our favorites.

Our friends over at The Digital Bits point out that this UHD is from a recent 4K scan of the original camera negative (and master interpositive VFX footage). This release will include HDR10 high dynamic range and a brand new English 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos sound mix.
