Scream Factory and Shout Factory have announced their April batch of 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray releases. They are: Rolling Thunder (1977), Lost in Space (1998), Affliction (1997), Blue Giant (2023), and Winnie the Pooh: Blood & Honey (2023).
Rolling Thunder 4K Blu-ray
Description: When Major Charles Rane (William Devane, Marathon Man, Interstellar) returns home to San Antonio, Texas, he is given a hero's welcome. He and his friend John Vohden (Tommy Lee Jones, The Fugitive) had endured eight years of physical and mental torture in a POW camp.
Adjusting to his old life isn't going to be easy for Rane. His wife Janet has fallen in love with another man, and his son doesn't remember him. The publicity he receives as a returning hero has attracted the attention of a group of hoodlums. When the group kills Rane's wife and son and leaves him for dead, he and Vohden team up to hunt them down.
STREET DATE: APRIL 23.
Lost in Space Collector's Edition
Description: Danger, Will Robinson! LOST IN SPACE is coming to Blu-ray on April 9. The family Robinson is in hiber-sleep, soaring into deep space. Their mission: establish a colony that will become home for a dying Earth's inhabitants. But sabotage jolts the Robinsons awake, sending them — and an often troublesome robot — off course and into amazing adventures where the question is not just where they are, but also when. Gary Oldman, Mimi Rogers, William Hurt, Matt LeBlanc, Heather Graham, and more set just the right tone of heroism and fun in an imaginative sci-fi voyage based on the '60s TV series and featuring cameos by some of the original TV stars.
STREET DATE: APRIL 9.
Affliction
Description: Winner of the 1997 Academy Award® for Best Actor in a Supporting Role (James Coburn), and Oscar®-nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Nick Nolte), this emotionally captivating film co-stars Oscar® winner* Sissy Spacek and Willem Dafoe. When events shatter the quiet of his small town, Wade Whitehouse (Nolte), with the aid of his new girlfriend (Spacek), is forced to confront his past and reexamine his life. Determined to fill the emptiness, he must either stand tall against his childhood demons or fall victim to his father's abusive ways. A wrenching but rewarding film depiction that you'll never forget, Affliction is "already an American classic" (The Village Voice).
STREET DATE: APRIL 16.
Blue Giant
Description: Dai Miyamoto's life changes when he discovers jazz. He picks up a tenor saxophone and practices every day. After leaving his hometown, Sendai, he pursues a music career in Tokyo with help from his friend Shunji. One day, Dai plays passionately from the heart and convinces talented pianist Yukinori to start a band together. Along with Shunji, a beginner drummer, they form the three-piece band, JASS. With each live performance, they get closer and closer to their dream of playing at So Blue, the most famous jazz club in Japan, in hopes of forever changing the world of jazz.
Based on the manga by Shinichi Ishizuka, Blue Giant from Yuzuru Tachikawa is a moving ode to the power of jazz with original music by HIROMI.

Winnie the Pooh: Blood & Honey
Description: Enter the darkest corners of the Hundred Acre Wood. Five years ago, Christopher Robin abandoned his childhood companions, Winnie-The-Pooh and Piglet, and the woods in which they all played. Now an adult, Christopher has returned, with his fiancée Maria in tow, for a reunion with his old friends ... only to find that in his absence, Pooh and Piglet have turned feral, silent ... and murderous. What was once a joyous place of imagination and merriment becomes a violent battleground for survival in this audacious and terrifying spin on A.A. Milne's beloved children's stories.
