Writer/Director Matthew Robbins' Dragonslayer Gets 4K Ultra HD Release From Paramount Home Entertainment On Mar. 21

Writer/director Matthew Robbins’ summer of 1981 fantasy adventure, Dragonslayer, gets a newly restored 4K limit-edition launch on Mar. 21.

Both Blu-ray and DVD editions will be available … both are stand-alone format SKUs with Digital Copy.

Dragons on screen come no better than Robbins’ Vermithrax … even after 40 years the beast remains the gold standard for such creatures.   With this new 4K film restoration of Dragonslayer, Galen (Peter MacNicol) and Ulrich’s (Ralph Richardson) combat with Vermithrax should be nothing short of stunning.

Bonus goodies include commentary with filmmaker Matthew Robbins (Corvette Summer, The Legend of Billie Jean, *batteries not included) who is joined by fellow director Guillermo del Toro (Robbins provided the screenplays for del Toro’s Crimson Peak and Mimic) and six featurettes — “The Slayer of All Dragons,” “Welcome to Cragganmore,” “A Long Way to Urland,” “Vermithrax Pejorative,” “Into the Lake of Fire” and “The Final Battle.”
