It’s turning out to be a good month for Steven Spielberg fans, as several of the director’s celebrated films are getting 4K re-releases. One of those is Catch Me If You Can, the 2002 crime drama starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks, which is getting a stylish Limited Edition Steelbook 4K Blu-ray on December 9 alongside a new standard edition 4K Blu-ray. Both editions are available to preorder at Amazon–you can grab the Catch Me If You Can Limited Edition Steelbook 4K Blu-ray for $37, or the standard edition for $31.

The new Catch Me If You Can Limited Edition Steelbook is a two-disc set that includes a 4K edition of the movie with support for Dolby Vision, HDR10, and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround sound. You’ll also get a digital streaming code to watch the movie on a supported device.
The second disc includes a selection of special features. These are inherited from the 10th anniversary Blu-ray release, and include behind-the-scenes featurettes on the filmmaking process, the casting process for the movie, a closer look at the soundtrack, the real-life inspirations behind the story, and a photo gallery.

The standard 4K Blu-ray features all the same on-disc content as the Steelbook Edition–including the 4K edition of the film, streaming code, and all the same bonus materials–but swaps out the special steelcase for standard 4K Blu-ray clamshell packaging.

Catch Me If You Can was adapted from the book co-written by Frank Abagnale Jr., a real-life conman, and author Stan Redding. DiCaprio plays Abagnale in the film, who infamously passed himself off as a Pan American airline pilot, doctor, and several other highly trained professions at a young age. Abagnale’s schemes would eventually attract the attention of the FBI, with one dogged agent–played by Hanks–chasing him from state to state. If you’re interested in checking out the original book, you can grab the Catch me If You Can paperback edition for $10 at Amazon (was $19), or the Audible audiobook version for $15.75 (was $18).
The audiobook is also included at no extra charge as part of the Audible Premium Plus streaming library, which you can access for just $1/month three months if you sign up for the service before December 16. Along with the library of content, you also get one Audible credit each month that lets you buy any audiobook on Amazon, and they’re yours to keep forever, even if you cancel. Basically, the deal gives you three audiobooks over a few months for just $3. The subscription plan will roll over to the normal $15/month after three months, unless you cancel before the promotional period is over.
