Netflix's animated film, 'KPop Demon Hunters', is set to receive a special director-approved Criterion 4K Ultra HD and Blu-Ray release. Pre-orders for the physical discs are currently open, with a planned release date of December 31.
The film, which follows the girl group HUNTR/X as they balance K-Pop stardom with demon hunting, has been added to the prestigious Criterion Collection. This collection is known for remastering films and releasing them with exclusive, director-approved extras. Details regarding these extras are yet to be announced.
The inclusion of 'KPop Demon Hunters' in the Criterion Collection is notable due to Netflix's infrequent release of physical editions of their movies and the collection's limited number of animated films. The film is described as Netflix's most watched movie ever, with a sequel and live concert tour reportedly in development.
Ejae, the singing voice for the character Rumi in the film, recently spoke about being distracted by Leonardo DiCaprio during a performance at the BAFTAs. She told The Times that seeing him in the audience made her nervous and affected her high notes during the song 'Born To Be'.
