Shout! Studios has picked Sept. 26 as the street date for a newly-minted 4K Ultra HD/2 Blu-ray Combo Pack Collector’s Edition of director Oliver Stone’s 1994 stunner, Natural Born Killers, starring Woody Harrelson, Juliette Lewis and Robert Downey, Jr.
This 4K “Director-approved” restoration from the original camera negative is the 1996 “Director’s Cut” of the film. One of the companion Blu-ray discs contains the original theatrical cut (to get the film to the desired R-rating — down from NC-17 — Stone cut roughly four minutes of footage).
Bonus goodies include commentary by Oliver Stone on the 4K Ultra HD presentation. The companion “Director’s Cut” Blu-ray disc contains the extras (also commentary by Stone), which include an introduction by Oliver Stone and four newly-prepared featurettes — “On Dawn's Highway Bleeding,” ”A Bloody Pail of Nitro,” “Wilderness of Pain” and “The Scream of the Butterfly.”
The original theatrical release companion Blu-ray disc features vintage material, including deleted scenes, an alternate ending, two short documentaries — filmmaker Charles Kiselyak’s 2001 release of Chaos Rising: The Storm Around Natural Born Killers and Mathew Baxt’s 2009 short film titled Natural Born Killers Evolution: How Would It All Go Down Now? … and the featurette titled “Natural Born Killers: Method in the Madness.”
