I assume that the german BR 4K release of July 23rd will include at least some extras/features/supplements from the american BR 4K release of Vinegar Syndrome released some time ago:





Vinegar Syndrome is delighted to present THE CARD PLAYER in its world UHD debut, newly restored in 4K from the original camera negative and loaded with a full deck of both new and archival extras.

directed by: Dario Argento
starring: Stefania Rocca, Liam Cunningham, Silvio Muccino, Adalberto Maria Merli, Claudio Santamaria, Fiore Argento
2003 / 103 min / 1.85:1 / English, Italian DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1

Additional info:

2-disc Set: 4K Ultra HD / Region A Blu-ray
4K UHD presented in Dolby Vision High-Dynamic-Range
Newly scanned & restored in 4K from its 35mm original camera negative
Presented in its original English language 5.1 surround soundtrack, as well as its Italian language 5.1 surround soundtrack with newly translated English subtitles
Commentary track with film historians Troy Howarth and Nathaniel Thompson
Playing the Game (27 min) - a brand new interview with actress Stefania Rocca
Digital Nightmare (19 min) - a brand new interview with composer Claudio Simonetti
Like in War (10 min) - a brand new interview with make-up artist Sergio Stivaletti
Sharp Cuts (20 min) - a brand new interview with editor Walter Fasano
Watch Me When I Kill (18 min) - an archival interview with director/screenwriter Dario Argento
Taking Risks (9 min) - an archival interview with screenwriter Franco Ferrini
A Chip and a Chair (12 min) - an archival interview with set designer Antonello Geleng
Game Over (8 min) - an archival interview with actress Fiore Argento
Archival behind-the-scenes featurette (9 min)
Reversible sleeve artwork
English SDH subtitles





I have the french Blu-ray released two years ago, which is good, but I will probably buy one of these foreign releases for the 4K (the french Blu-ray is a "classic" 2K Blu-ray) and especially for the extras, interviews (with the lead actress, the editor, the screenwriter, etc.).

Well, this seems to be 8K fotos you posted for a 4k BR... ;) ;D very, very big...

But my question is, do you own a region free BR player? The disc shows it's coded A and i thought the french region was also coded in B.

I've seen another great John Frankenheimer movie:

The Manchurian Candidate - John Frankenheimer, 1962

A really suspenseful, psychological political Thriller,  a still very intense watch i found it to be. But i guess most of you will have seen this classic.

No, my Blu-ray player is indeed region B, so I can only play the french Blu-ray or the german Blu-ray that's coming out next month. However, if I had a 4K Blu-ray player (and a 4K TV), I could play the american Blu-ray whose cover I posted, because 4K is no longer region-restricted.
