Paramount Home Entertainment Prepares A 4K Ultra HD Edition Of Director John Carpenter's Escape From L.A. For Release On Feb. 22

Paramount Home Entertainment announced this past week that director John Carpenter’s 1996 thriller, Escape from L.A., starring Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken (Escape from New York) and a number of other genre-fan favorites — Peter Fonda, Pam Grier, Paul Bartel, Bruce Campbell, Steve Buscemi … and more — will be released as a 4K Ultra HD product offering on Feb. 22.

It is unclear from the press announcement if this is a new 4K film restoration or if this is the same 4K scan (from the original camera negative) that Shout! Factory put out in May of 2020 as a “Collector’s Edition” on Blu-ray.

There is no indication, at this time — but it is early — that there will be any bonus goodies included with this 4K Ultra HD presentation … stay tuned.
