Blade Runner 4K Anyone else have Spanish only?

The main movie I was excited about watching on the new AppleTV 4K was Blade Runner. But the only audio option is Spanish (Spain). There is no other audio option when I swipe down on the remotes track pad. Just Spanish. Is this an error on Apples side uploading the file to the servers? Hopefully this will get fixed soon. Was so excited to break in the new 4K system with this movie! Tried other movies and all English, French, Spanish versions there. Just not on Blade Runner. I know Promethious had this issue when it first came out too. Text overlay never got fixed though. Anyone else having this issue?

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 11, null

Yes.

Same here.

Blade Runner The Final Cut, from the US iTunes store.

Spanish audio only.

Luckily, extras are in English ;-)

The issue has probably been spoted since, when you search for Blade Runner in the iTunes store, you only get the "Non Final Cut" version, available in HD, not 4K.

I am gonna write to iTunes store support.

Been on the phone with Apple today about this. They are already aware. Didn’t say if it would be fixed or not. On there quite a while and they said I would get a credit on my iTunes account, said great I will get another movie, not so unfortunately, 1 credit for a song, worthless as I have Apple Music. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Same here. Thought I was losing my mind. I watched it a few years ago in English, seems to be an issue with the 4K “upgrade”. I did send in an email to support. Nothing but the automated reply so far.

On another note, anyone else not too impressed with the 4K? Looks very grainy to me.

Not the 4K version but started watching it yesterday (English 5.1 audio) now only audio available is Spanish 5.1. Bought ages ago. Apple say HD auto upgraded to 4K so may be linked issue?

Yes I noticed some grain or picture defects. Best solution I found was to either run in 4K SDR mode for everything or read what the movie is in, HDR Dolby Vision etc and manually set the ATV to output in that mode for the movie your about to watch. No idea why they couldn’t be bothered for the ATV to auto select.
