So it looks like this is due to be finally released! This excerpt is taken from TheDigitalBits.com:
"Retail sources had begun to suggest over the last few days that David Fincher’s Panic Room (2002) would FINALLY be coming to 4K Ultra HD in March from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, and we have indeed been able to confirm this with our industry sources. It’s not officially announced yet, but we expect it to be shortly and the anticipated street date is 3/29. We will of course post more information as soon as we have it. What’s interesting about this title is that it’s never even been released on Blu-ray Disc—the best we’ve gotten to date is a Superbit DVD back in 2002. It’s been rumored on both Blu-ray and 4K over the past few years, but never materialized. No doubt the studio discovered that—due to its extensive use of early digital VFX—significant remastering was required, and it appears that’s finally happened. With a little luck, the 4K will include a remastered Blu-ray version as well."
The DVD, although okay at the time of release, is pretty ropey for such a dark film so I think a 4K UHD release with HDR is most welcome.
No mention of an Atmos or DTS:X soundtrack but that would also be a nice touch for this type of film.
I will definitely be pre-ordering this one if the rumors are true
