Preorder This Slick New 4K Steelbook For One of Tom Cruise's Best Movies

Tom Cruise is one of Hollywood's choosier stars--you're not going to discover a huge pile of crappy direct-to-TV movies hidden in the middle of his filmography like some other well-known actors. The guy has made a lot of really quality flicks, so it's no small praise to say that Michael Mann's Collateral is one of the best movies in Cruise's filmography--and it may also be Mann's best movie, for that matter. So it's only fitting that a film of this quality would be getting a new 4K steelbook edition later this year, which you can preorder now.

Collateral 4K steelbook preorders

This new Collateral steelbook release will land in stores on August 6, exactly 20 years to the day since its original theatrical release--a lot of movies get anniversary re-releases on home video, but most of them aren't this exact about it. The studio hasn't yet detailed what special features will be included, so it's likely safe to assume that some of the extra features from past Collateral releases will be re-used here. Beyond that, you'll get a 4K Blu-ray, a standard Blu-ray, and a Movies Anywhere digital copy with this set.

Right now you can order at Amazon for $31, or Walmart for $25. With months before this set actually comes out, you can expect the prices will come down a bit.

Collateral, for those who haven't seen it, tells the story of a random LA cab driver (Jamie Foxx) who is unwittingly pulled into a complicated assassination plan by a mysterious hitman (Cruise), who wants to use the driver as a scapegoat. The film was shot with a digital handicam that gives the flick a very gritty and real-ish look--this was the movie that established Mann's glorious modern aesthetic. And now you can appreciate the visuals even more thanks to this new 4K steelbook release.

If you're looking for more 4K Blu-ray steelbook editions to add to your collection, Amazon's massive 4K Blu-ray sale includes a deal that gets you three 4K Blu-rays for just $33 total. You can also preorder the 4K Blu-ray steelbook edition of the latest Studio Ghibli film, The Boy and the Heron, for just $35 (down from $45) at multiple online retailers.
