In more reasons to give a damn about physical media, Gone With the Wind is receiving a new 4K Ultra HD Steelbook release, which marks the first time that the Hollywood epic is available on the high-res format.
Gone With the Wind tells the story of strong-willed Southern belle Scarlett O’Hara and her love triangle involving the married Ashley Wilkes and wealthy cad Rhett Butler, all set against the backdrop of the Civil War and Reconstruction.
Due out November 3rd, the newly remastered edition features upgraded picture and sound, along with additional special features.
