Bonus Features: Paramount breaks out a classic and a modern classic on 4K

It may not seem like “My Fair Lady” and “Super 8” have a lot in common, releasing 41 years apart and falling into completely different genres, but the one feature they do share is each being a coveted classic from the Paramount vault – one historic and one modern. The two films also share the same release date, as they both will make their 4K Ultra HD debuts on May 25 from Paramount Home Entertainment.

“Super 8” arrives just in time to honor the film’s 10th anniversary, first releasing on June 10, 2011. Directed by J.J. Abrams and produced by Steven Spielberg, the film became a fan favorite, exploring science-fiction, adventure, and 1970s nostalgia all through the eyes of a band of childhood friends. It was clear the recipe was a hit, as “Stranger Things” soon came along and followed a similar formula.

“My Fair Lady” does not come as a part of an anniversary or special occasion, but the release itself is occasion enough for this Oscars darling. Winner of eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, the Broadway adaptation has finally received a stunning 8K film transfer.

While neither film comes with new bonus features, they’re both overflowing with previously-released content that’s certainly worth a watch.
