As ever, if we’re sharing Arrow Video release news, you know they’ll bring the good stuff! And they’re pushing the best out there in November, in true cult and popular culture as well, because The Wolf of Wall Street, and the iconic Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves are getting two epic 4K UHD Limited Edition releases on the 7th and 28th November, respectively.
As ever, these releases include a host of brand new extras, including video essays and interviews with cast, crew and film experts, illustrated collector’s booklets with fascinating insights into the films, and reversible sleeves with original and newly commissioned artwork, limited edition art cards and unique collectables, fold-out posters, perfect bound books, CD soundtracks and much more.
First up on 7 November is the astonishing The Wolf of Wall Street! Few filmmakers depict greed and amorality on screen like Martin Scorsese. Thrilling, glamourous, seductive: his unflinching eye sees all and refuses to look away. Nominated for five Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor, The Wolf of Wall Street is a monstrous masterpiece, equal parts hilarious and horrifying. Arrow Video is proud to present a director-approved 4K transfer (making its UK premiere) of this extraordinary ode to American excess, in a special edition as sleek and sharp as the Wolf himself, that includes a 60-page book and a highly covetable luxury “wallet”.
Leonardo DiCaprio is on dazzling form in the frenetic true life tale of New York stock-broker Jordan Belfort and his rise from boiler room brokerage firm to a decadent life of obscene wealth, stratospheric drug-use, and rampant corruption. Spiralling out of control as government investigators close in, Belfort’s fall is as spectacular as his meteoric rise.
November 28 also sees the release of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, helmed by director Kevin Reynolds, that transforms the famous outlaw of Sherwood Forest into a movie icon fit for the 1990s. This grand, swashbuckling adventure in the classic tradition is brought to life by an all-star supporting cast, including Christian Slater, Brian Blessed and a memorable cameo from Sean Connery (himself a former Robin Hood), plus an instantly recognisable score by Michael Kamen – not to mention a chart-topping Bryan Adams theme song.
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves dazzles in an all-new 4K restoration, with theatrical and extended cuts, with plenty of new and archival bonus features to Tuck into, as well as a book, fold-out poster and art cards. It will also be available as a Limited Edition 4K SteelBook, and Limited Edition Deluxe 4K SteelBook with rigid case, from Zavvi.
Robin of Locksley (Kevin Costner) returns from the Crusades to find his father dead and vows revenge.
