Tom Hanks Classic ‘A League of Their Own’ Heads Home To 4K Blu-ray This Fall
by David Lewis
After more than thirty years, crying still isn’t allowed in baseball … unless it’s in 4K.
The classic 1992 comedy A League of Their Own is stepping up the the plate for a brand new 4K/Blu-ray combo release from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment this September.
Boasting an all-star roster including Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, and Madonna, A League of Their Own is based on the true story of the World War II-era All-American Girls Baseball League who blazed a new trail for professional female athletes. Dottie Hinson (Davis) leads a rag tag group of players trying to win games while winning over their cranky, has-been coach Jimmy Dugan (Hanks). Directed by comedy maestro Penny Marshall, it also stars Lori Petty, Rosie O’Donnell, and Jon Lovitz.
A League of Their Own has been restored from the original camera negative and will be presented in 4K resolution with Dolby Vision. The bulk of the special features will be found on the Blu-ray disc, including an audio commentary with Marshall and actors Petty, Tracy Reiner, and Megan Cavanagh. Other features include behind-the-scenes documentary, deleted scenes, three full episodes from the 1993 TV spin-off series, and the music video for Madonna’s hit ballad “This Used to Be My Playground.”
A League of Their Own will be available on a 4K/Blu-ray combo pack on September 3rd.
