Some of you may have read my review of Universal’s E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial: 35th Anniversary Edition 4K Ultra HD release. You may also be interested to know that they’ve launched a Snapchat lens that lets you put your face in Elliot’s red hoodie behind E.T. on their flying bicycle. It’s pretty cute for the kids, so FYI.

And pre-orders are now on for the Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD release of Valerian from Lionsgate, so we’ve re-posted that cover artwork below. Amazon.co.uk has an exclusive 4K/BD/3D version you can order here. We don’t know if the 3D disc will be all-region or not, so buyer beware. But as soon as we know for sure, we’ll let you know.

Before we go, we also wanted to take a moment today to mention the passing of actor Frank Vincent (of Sopranos and Goodfellas fame), comics writer Len Wein (the creator of Wolverine and Swamp Thing), musician Walter Becker (of Steely Dan), and science-fiction writer Jerry Pournelle (The Mote in God’s Eye, The Mercenary, Lucifer’s Hammer). They will all be very much missed.

We’ll leave you with a look at the cover artwork for some of the titles mentioned above, with Amazon.com pre-order links if available...

Stay tuned...
