Could We Be Seeing A Potential 4K UHD Release of the Movie Anytime Soon?

[u/RegularDude313]

A month ago, it was announced by the official accounts of this series that a 4K remaster of Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door will be re-released in theaters across Japan, starting on Friday, October 30th, 2026 — VERY fitting if you've watched the movie, lol. This is being done in celebration of its 25th anniversary, having originally released in theaters on September 1st, 2001 in Japan.

This news has me very curious and cautiously excited/optimistic. Firstly, are we likely to have a theatrical release of the 4K remaster of the movie here, in the U.S. of A. sometime in the near future? And secondly, is there a high likelihood of the movie releasing worldwide on 4K UHD sometime in the near future, as well? For both, but especially the second thing, I really hope so. This movie's LONG overdue for a brand new home release. The last time it had one was in 2018 on Blu-Ray and as far as my knowledge goes, those are out of print (correct me if I'm wrong, though). Now is the perfect opportunity for a brand new home release. Again, we can only hope things work out in our favor. What do you guys think?
