The 2006 film “The Da Vinci Code” will get a “20th Anniversary Edition” 4K UHD Blu-ray SteelBook release on May 19th via Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

Ron Howard directed the film, based on the novel [of the same title] written by Dan Brown. It starred Tom Hanks, Audrey Tautou, Ian McKellen, Alfred Molina, Jürgen Prochnow, Paul Bettany, and Jean Reno.

NOTE: This movie has been previously released [back in 2016] on the 4K UHD Blu-ray format. However, this time around it’s going to come in its correct 2.39:1 aspect ratio as well as both the theatrical (148-minute) and extended (174-minute) versions of the film on individual 4K discs. Also, the previous 4K release was presented in a 2.40:1 aspect ratio, incorrectly, as it was intended for a 2.39:1 aspect. That has been corrected.

The release will arrive as a 3-disc set, including a Blu-ray with bonus materials, which are listed below.
