"Bill Lustig has stated that Blue Underground have plans to release both Dario Argento's "Inferno" (1980) and Michele Soavi's "Stagefright" (1987) on 4K UHD, but at this time, are having issues accessing the camera negatives for both films.

MORE INFO TBA"

I'm moving away from double dipping but Inferno would be hard to not pick up on 4K.

Same on both accounts lol

[peter alex]

it would be a miracle if blue underground gets inferno for a 4K UHD release because it was made by 20th century fox which are owned by disney and to my knowledge disney don't and wouldn't like boutique labels releasing any film which they own.

So this was talked about in a recent interview on the Kino Lorber YouTube channel with Bill Lustig. He was asked Do you still have the rights to Dario Argento's Inferno (and Soavi's Stagefright) and do you plan to release them on 4k in the future, and he said "Yes and yes, I'm just having trouble getting access to the negatives for both films, I've been trying" (paraphrasing)

Full interview is here, it's pretty interesting
