Forrest_Gump_4k_UHD_3D_720pxRanked No. 71 on AFI’s 100 Greatest American Films, Forrest Gump will soon be available to view at home in 4k. The Ultra HD Blu-ray edition of the film will feature High Dynamic Range (HDR) color improvements in addition to upgraded 2160p video resolution.

What’s more, the audio on this 4k edition has been improved since the last Blu-ray release with an immersive Dolby Atmos soundtrack, as well as French and Spanish in 5.1 Dolby Digital and Portuguese in 2.0 Dolby Digital. The included 1080p Blu-ray Disc hasn’t changed its English 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track.

A separate commentary with producer Wendy Finerman is also provided. The Blu-ray copy includes those commentaries along with another dozen extras like “The Magic of Makeup” and “The Art of Screenplay Adaptation.”
