| ...that when DEH is released on home video blu-ray that it has as many wonderful features as THE GREATEST SHOWMAN's release had. That is the one thing that keeps me buying physical discs, they tend to have features and commentaries that you don't get from streaming videos. I'd love to see lots of "making of" features, maybe even a feature looking at the success of the stage show, with commentaries from the director, Platt (though that may be a hard sell for him), and especially Pasek and Paul. They need to treat the video release of the film as the success that the audience scores on RT suggest it is, despite its box office. | |

| Oh please, there's nothing inherent about a physical disk that makes it more likely to have extras. You certainly get that on streaming series, Handmaid's Tale on Hulu comes to mind with a 3 minute "inside the episode" for every episode and more recently an even more in-depth discussion with various cast members. | |

| Sources suggest that it seems as though the 4K home release has been canceled, leaving the film to only get a standard Blu-ray. 4K is still a more specialized but rapidly growing market, and nearly every major new movie is released on that format now… the one exception I can think of, where a 4K was initially announced and then quietly pulled? Cats. I doubt it will only get a bare-bones physical release, with no special features at all- but it will hardly receive the lavish Greatest Showman treatment. |

| That's true - some special features add to a fuller appreciation of the creative effort. Unfortunately, studios are not keen to add special features (other than perhaps already part of the filming effort before) when a movie falters significantly vs expectations. Best case was when Darren Aronofsky uploaded his own Director's Commentary for The Fountain when WarnerBros refused the offer because the movie faltered at the box office. Interestingly the movie became a cult favorite and was re-released on its 10th year anniversary. |
