There do seem to be multiple listings of this film on Amazon and I am not immediately certain of the differences.

I think the more expensive one is a LE.

 

[Robert Crawford]

The more expensive release in your post has two discs. The cheaper release has only one disc.

Thanks for the clarification. I added both SKU's to the preorder above

From the listings at the Other Site, it appears that one has both UHD and BD, and the other has just the UHD. If you look at the image Ron posted, there's a BD peaking out from behind the UHD, and the UHD only says "4KUHD + Digital". Now, whether the BD is the old Lionsgate/StudioCanal release or a new one made from a (presumed) new scan.

Correct!

Not a big fan of the cover art and prefer the 4K UK release which i have. I have a feeling both will have the same transfer?

I also have this edition, which boasts a "new restoration" on the slipcover. I wonder if the transfers are the same.

They re both tken from the 2022 4K restoration which itself is superb. The problem arises from Canal’s encode which swings from flawless to dreadful. I would like to think Lionsgate did its own encode and didn’t flub the compression. If they do I’m double dipping.
