Post-apocalyptic zombie thriller World War Z will finally be available in 4k, ten years after premiering in theaters in 2013. The film will be released on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray with Dolby Vision/HDR10 & Dolby Atmos.
Update: The soundtrack is provided in DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 (DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0), which is a downgrade from previous 1080p Blu-rays that offer DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 channels.
The street date for World War Z on 4k Ultra HD Blu-ray was July 11, 2023 (as originally listed on Shout! Factory’s website), but that date has been pushed to July 25, 2023.
Two cuts of World War Z are packaged in this 3-disc edition (Theatrical & Extended), which includes one 4k Blu-ray and two HD Blu-rays. This is an upscaled 4k master (not native 4k).
World War Z on 4k Blu-ray Disc is selling for $29.99 (List: $39.99) on Amazon and $35.99 at Shout! Factory.
Description: When former U.N. investigator Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) and his family get stuck in urban gridlock, he senses that it’s no ordinary traffic jam. His suspicions are confirmed when, suddenly, the city erupts into chaos. A lethal virus, spread through a single bite, is turning healthy people into something vicious, unthinking, and feral. As the pandemic threatens to consume humanity, Gerry leads a worldwide search to find the source of the infection and, with luck, a way to halt its spread.
