Arrow Video Selects May 21 As The Delivery Date For 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack Editions Of Director Joe Carnahan's Narc And Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro’s Crimson Peak

Arrow Video, with domestic sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, steps up with not one, but two new 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack theatrical releases that are both set for delivery on May 21.

The first up is a new 4K restoration — from the original 35mm camera negative — of director Joe Carnahan's 2002 crime thriller, Narc, teaming Jason Patric (Solarbabies, The Lost Boys, Rush, Sleepers) with Ray Liotta (Goodfellas, No Escape, Unforgettable, Hannibal) as Detroit police detectives who get assigned the politically-hot investigation of the unsolved murder of an undercover cop.

The film itself is edgy — dark, violent — and that presented funding problems, which ultimately led to a record number of film producer credits for Narc (if you ponied up some money to finish the film, you got a producer’s credit, including Tom Cruise and his producing partner Paula Wagner).

Bonus features include a vintage commentary with filmmaker Joe Carnahan (Smokin’ Aces, The Grey) and film editor John Gilroy (The Bourne Legacy, Pacific Rim, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), a new introduction by Carnahan, four new featurettes — “Shattering the Blue Line,” “Shooting Narc,” “If You Live Another Day” and “The Journey of the Costume” — four archived featurettes — “Making the Deal,” “The Visual Trip,” “The Friedkin Connection” and “Shooting Up” — plus archived video sessions with Carnahan, Liotta, Patric, fellow filmmaker William Friedkin and more.

The other new 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack from Arrow Video on May 21 is director Guillermo del Toro’s 2015 gothic horror tale, Crimson Peak, starring Mia Wasikowska (Stoker, Judy & Punch, Tracks, etc.) and the “brother/sister” team of Jessica Chastain and Tom Hiddleston.

Bonus nuggets included here begin with commentary by Del Toro, documentary filmmaker Ian Mantgani’s feature-length documentary titled The House is Alive: Constructing Crimson Peak, deleted scenes and a massive dozen (yes, twelve) production featurettes —“The Gothic Corridor,” “The Scullery,” “The Red Clay Mines,” “The Limbo Fog Set,” “A Primer on Gothic Romance,” “The Light and Dark of Crimson Peak,” “Hand Tailored Gothic,” “A Living Thing,” “Beware of Crimson Peak,” “Crimson Phantoms,” “Kim Newman on Crimson Peak and the Tradition of Gothic Romance” and “Violence and Beauty in Guillermo Del Toro’s Gothic Fairy Tale Films.”
