Action Movie Classic Demolition Man Finally Getting a 4K Release

As a longtime cinema enthusiast who has witnessed the evolution of action movies since their golden age, I am utterly thrilled about the upcoming 4K UHD release of the iconic “Demolition Man” on December 10th. This film, directed by Marco Brambilla in his directorial debut, is a timeless masterpiece that has only grown more relevant as society edges closer to the dystopian future it portrays. The new edition, complete with a commentary by the director and screenwriter themselves, promises to be a treasure trove for any dedicated fan.


As a die-hard fan, I can hardly contain my excitement! The iconic 1993 action masterpiece, “Demolition Man,” is set to hit 4K UHD shelves right before Christmas. According to Dawn of The Discs on X/Twitter, the sci-fi action extravaganza will be available from December 10 in the U.S. and a day earlier, on December 9, in the U.K., courtesy of Arrow. Starring the legendary action stars Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes, this thrilling tale of a cop from the past chasing a familiar foe in the future has seen a surge in popularity as our current world seems to be mirroring the movie’s futuristic vision. I can hardly wait!

1993 saw the debut directorial effort of Marco Brambilla with the release of “Demolition Man”. This movie follows the tales of two characters: a ruthless criminal mastermind and a daring police officer. Both are cryogenically preserved in 1996, only to be revived in 2032 where they find that mainstream society has undergone a transformation, with crime seemingly eradicated…but not for long. The stellar cast includes Sylvester Stallone as John Spartan and Wesley Snipes as Simon Pheonix, joined by Sandra Bullock, Nigel Hawthorne, Benjamin Bratt, and Denis Leary.

As a diehard fan, I can’t help but reminisce about the captivating one-off tale told by Demolition Man. However, the allure of a sequel is too strong to resist, and it seems that my wishes might just come true! Back in 2020, Sylvester Stallone himself shared that plans for a follow-up have been set into motion. During a lively Q&A session, he spilled the beans about the project’s development. Alas, since then, there’s been radio silence on the matter.

It seems we are about to see it soon. We’re currently collaborating with Warner Brothers on it, and it’s shaping up wonderfully, so expect its release shortly.

The Demolition Man film has earned a coveted position among cult classics, and it’s clear that its 4K UHD reissue and any potential sequel (tentatively named Demolition Man: Rise of the Phoenix and featuring the return of Snipes as the villainous Simon Phoenix, who was recently resurrected for another iconic role in Deadpool & Wolverine) would receive thunderous acclaim from action movie enthusiasts worldwide.
