After getting word earlier this year that Paramount Home Entertainment would be bringing a trio of Tom Cruise classics - Tony Scott's Top Gun, Tony Scott's Days of Thunder, and Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds - to 4K Ultra HD this year, to coincide with the theatrical release of Joseph Kosinski's Top Gun: Maverick, the studio has now shared full details on each of the upcoming 4K UHD/Blu-ray combo packs.
Top Gun will become available to purchase on Digital UHD on Top Gun Day (May 13) and then, on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray the following Tuesday on May 19. Both War of the Worlds and Days of Thunder will be available the same day.
The Top Gun release will include a brand-new featurette that explores the film’s legacy and enduring popularity through new interviews with Tom Cruise, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and members of the cast of Top Gun: Maverick, including John Hamm, Miles Teller, Glen Powell, and more. Fans can also enjoy a retrospective segment from 2016 looking back at 30 years of Top Gun. Additional previously released bonus content on the disc includes commentary by producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Tony Scott, co-screenwriter Jack Epps, Jr., and naval experts; Danger Zone: The Making of Top Gun; a look inside the real Top Gun; original theatrical promotional material; music videos, and more.
In addition to the standard cover, the original Top Gun will also receive a Best Buy-exclusive 4K Ultra HD Steelbook, featuring some cool new artwork. Days of Thunder will be released as part of a 30th Anniversary special edition while War of the Worlds will receive a special 15th Anniversary special edition.
