Paul Thomas Anderson (and Thomas Pynchon) fans can preorder One Battle After Another on 4K Blu-ray at Amazon and Walmart. The Leonardo DiCaprio-led action thriller opened in theaters last week, so the physical editions won't be available for a few months. That said, if you're interested in picking up a collectible 4K Blu-ray edition, you'll probably want to order early. Amazon just opened preorders for One Battle After Another's Limited Edition Steelbook for $38. Walmart sold out of its preorders on September 26, but the Steelbook Edition is back in stock on October 1 for $44.25. Both retailers are also taking preorders on the standard edition 4K Blu-ray for $30.

One Battle After Another's 4K Blu-ray editions support HDR10 and two Dolby surround sound modes: Dolby Atmos and Dolby TrueHD 7.1. Special features haven't been revealed yet, neither has the official artwork for any of the four editions we know about so far: Limited Edition Steelbook, standard 4K Blu-ray, 1080p Blu-ray, and DVD. The Steelbook Edition artwork should be revealed soon, and it wouldn't be surprising if the movie poster above winds up being the cover for the standard editions.

The Steelbook Edition also comes with a standard Blu-ray disc and digital edition. The regular 4K Blu-ray edition only includes 4K and digital. The standard Blu-ray edition also includes the digital edition.

Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson with Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall, Chase Infiniti, and Teyana Taylor starring, One Battle After Another looks to be an early contender for major awards next year. An action thriller spliced with dark comedy, the 162-minute film currently sits at 96% on Rotten Tomatoes' critic meter. DiCaprio leads the way as a former revolutionary who is now perpetually paranoid due to rampant substance use. Bob Ferguson/Pat Calhoun (DiCaprio's character) must rescue his daughter Willa (Chase Infiniti) from Col. Steven J. Lockjaw, his mortal enemy played by Sean Penn.

One Battle After Another is inspired by Thomas Pynchon's 1990 novel Vineland. The basic premise and some plot points are adapted from the book, but One Battle After Another isn't a conventional adaptation. Anderson previously adapted Pynchon's 2009 novel Inherent Vice. The 2014 movie is considered to be "based on" rather than "inspired by," as it's more faithful in its approach. Unfortunately, Inherent Vice is only available on Blu-ray, not 4K Blu-ray, but at least it's super cheap. Pynchon, one of America's greatest living novelists, is famously reclusive, so it's doubtful we'll learn how he feels about One Battle After Another.
