Henry was great in Feast and I rather enjoyed him in He Never Died.
What do you want to do today?
I'm doing it.

But yeah, he acts as well as he sings...
 
I have not seen this mentioned anywhwere. 4K reissue of the movie:

No Atmos but new 5.1 mix of the audio for the movie:
"The film's audio was also restored from the original Dolby Stereo (LCRS) archived 35mm magnetic film source elements containing the separate dialogue, music, and effects (DME) tracks. These restored elements along with the 20th anniversary's 5.1 multi-channel print master were used to complete a newly remastered 5.1 presentation for the film."
Being that itā€™s the movie and states ā€œremasteredā€ rather than ā€œnew mixā€; I donā€™t have a lot of faith for an other than typical live Prince style sound. Which is mainly audience in the rears. Iā€™m still hoping the album gets a 2024 5.1 mix thatā€™s at least as good as what they did with DaP.
 
had created a thread after searching for "Prince" only to see there was already a thread under "Purple Rain" so now the thread title is updated with this obviously awesome news!

I had family over last night who never heard Atmos. I played When Doves Cry for them. (My first time hearing it). Their heading are still spinning.
