I don't know who has it in the UK now. Studio Canal or Curzon?

It should be with Curzon. It can be streamed on their website: https://homecinema.curzon.com/film/the-host/

It's good that Magnolia are going to release it in SDR. Much has been said about that master including claims that they've rescanned the shots that don't have VFX but with so much processing over the course of the film it unsurprisingly turned out to be an upscale of the old DI. The Magnolia shouldn't be any different, so keep expectations in check but at the very least there won't be unnecessary HDR that exposes the limitations even more.

MannFan, I thought I had added Pat Garrett to the OP but I never did. Oops. Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid (Criterion)

Thanks, nic. Since Curzon have it, I might wait. Mifunefan mentioned two months or so ago that he also saw a product code for a Curzon UHD of Mother someplace.
