Well, I know we’re not supposed to talk about it, but David Fincher’s Fight Club is finally set to be released on 4K Ultra HD on May 12. Not only that, but the cult classic will also be returning to theaters with a one-night-only nationwide theatrical event on April 22.
Fight Club on 4K
The film has been “meticulously restored in 4K Ultra HD,” with the presentation set to bring “renewed intensity and clarity to Fincher’s uncompromising vision, enhancing the film’s striking cinematography and immersive sound design for both longtime fans and first-time viewers.“
Here’s a list of the bonus features included in the release:

In addition to the 4K Ultra HD release, New Regency and Insight Editions will also release a companion Fight Club 25th Anniversary art book, featuring “never-before-seen visuals, exclusive interviews, and behind-the-scenes content. This collector’s piece will offer fans the deepest look yet into the making of the film and its enduring legacy.“
I’d love to say this will complete the release of Fincher’s current filmography on 4K, but there are still a number of notable omissions. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Gone Girl. Alien 3. All would be amazing in the format. Unfortunately, the director’s Netflix movies are likely a long shot, as they haven’t been released on any physical media.
