    New restoration of GIANT (1956) to premiere at the 2022 TCM Film Festival

    Not only that, but "Giant" MSRP is about $9.00 cheaper without the Blu-ray than "Singin in the Rain".

    Unlike "Singin in the Rain", there doesn't appear to be a Blu-ray disc with this 4K release. Only the 4K disc and digital code.

    Well, I don't think many of us would want it now with a new and improved home video release probably happening later this year. As much as I like the film and if I didn't already own the 2013 Blu-ray, I wouldn't buy it now.

    There is little doubt in my mind that an upcoming physical media release is going to happen.

    It doesn't look like Warner is releasing this on 4K/UHD disc. A Blu-ray release is coming and will be on HBO Max later this year. https://www.mediaplaynews.com/turner-classic-movies-readies-giant-4k-restoration-movie-release-on-blu-ray-disc-hbo-max/

    Thank you to MPI! If released, the question is whether this will be a Warner Archive release or from Warners?

    Well, what you linked isn't confirmed by WB which is what you stated! That doesn't mean it's not going to happen, but until we see an official WB announcement it's still rumors. Here's hoping it's true!

    It might be a small uptick to RAH, but that doesn't mean most of us with our untrained eyes might see a bigger uptick in quality.

    I disagree, judging by the comments in this thread, I think most people do understand the issues with Giant.

    Is my memory faulty again as I thought this BD was not well received video presentation-wise by many people around here?

    I had a feeling my stated preference for 4K disc would elicit a response from you because I know the best part of film isn't in 2K. However, I'm a fan of applied HDR even though you aren't so, particularly if applied to older films. I understand that could change the look of the movie from...

    Yup, looks like in 2022, we're getting a new BD release, but perhaps 4K/UHD release. I hope it's the latter. Edit: On second thought, a 4K disc is out of the question due to the film elements and how this movie was filmed. Perhaps, a second BD release could be coming our way.
