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.”
