The acclaimed comedy classic, “The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” which grossed over $177 million during its theatrical run and quickly cemented its place as a fan favorite, is finally making its long-awaited debut on 4K Blu-ray. This summer marks a significant milestone for the film, as two distinct 4K Blu-ray editions are set to be released in celebration of the comedy`s 20th anniversary. These include a Limited Edition Steelbook priced at $45 and a standard 4K Blu-ray edition for $29. Both versions are currently available for pre-order and are scheduled for release on August 12. Regardless of the chosen edition, fans will find both the original theatrical cut and the unrated version of the 2005 film, along with more than two hours of extensive bonus features, offering an ideal way to commemorate two decades since its premiere.
