We’ve heard from Paramount Pictures Home Entertainment that they will be releasing a 4K Planes, Trains, and Automobiles disc over the coming weeks.
If you’re unfamiliar with the classic, here’s a brief synopsis.
Steve Martin and John Candy star in this hysterical tale of travel gone awry. Neal Page (Martin) is an uptight ad exec trying to get home to Chicago for Thanksgiving with his family. When rerouted to Wichita, Neal reluctantly partners with Del Griffith (Candy), an obnoxious yet loveable salesman. Together, they embark on a cross-country adventure filled with outrageously funny situations and a generous helping of warmth.
The release will include a bonus “LOST LUGGAGE” Blu-ray™ Disc containing over an hour of never-before-seen deleted and extended scenes that were recently discovered in the archives of writer, producer and director John Hughes. The newly uncovered footage offers a unique glimpse into the filmmaking and editing process and features even more hilarious moments between Steve Martin and John Candy.
In addition to the newly discovered footage, the bonus Blu-ray™ Disc also includes Dylan Baker’s original audition for the character of Owen. The 4K Ultra HD™ Disc includes the feature film and the following legacy bonus content:
- Getting There is Half the Fun: The Story of Planes, Trains and Automobiles
- John Hughes: Life Moves Pretty Fast (2-Part Documentary):
- John Hughes: The Voice of a Generation
- Heartbreak and Triumph: The Legacy of John Hughes
- John Hughes for Adults
- A Tribute to John Candy
