Arrow Video, with domestic sales and distribution support provided by MVD Entertainment Group, doubles up in June with two new 4K Ultra HD debuts.
Up first with a June 10 debut date is director Dominic Sena’s heist thriller, Swordfish, starring the likes of John Travolta, Hugh Jackman, Don Cheadle, Vinnie Jones, Sam Shepard and Halle Berry.
Bonus nuggets include commentary from Sena (Kalifornia, Season of the Witch, Whiteout), the HBO Firstlook behind-the-scenes promotion, two alternate endings, the “Planet Rock Club Reel” music video and four featurettes — “Soundtrack Hacker,” “How to Design a Tech Heist,” “Effects in Focus: The Flying Bus” and “Swordfish: In Conversation.”
Arriving two weeks later (June 24) is the 4K Ultra HD debut of writer/director Alex Proyas’ neo-noir sci-fi chiller, Dark City, toplining Rufus Swell (Old, Gods of Egypt, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Amazing Grace, etc.) as John Murdoch, a man living an endless nightmare with E.T. “Strangers” in a rat maze floating in space. In other words, WEIRD! Kiefer Sutherland, Jennifer Connelly and William Hurt co-star.
Bonus features for this double-disc 4K Ultra HD release includes both the original theatrical cut and the 2008 “director’s cut” of the film.
The “director’s cut” includes — are you ready for this — five separate commentary options — two new: director Alex Proyas and Film Versus Film podcasters Craig Anderson, Bruce Isaacs and Herschel Isaacs; three archived: Proyas, film critic Roger Ebert and co-writers Lem Dobbs and David S. Goyer.
Also included on the “director’s cut” disc is a newly-prepared documentary titled Return to Dark City and two featurettes — “Rats in a Maze” and “I’m as Much in the Dark as You Are.”
The theatrical cut disc includes two archived commentary options — one with film critic Roger Ebert and the second is a tag-team affair featuring Proyas, writers Dobbs and Goyer, director of photography Dariusz Wolski and production designer Patrick Tatopoulos — and two archived featurettes … “Memories of Shell Beach” and “Architecture of Dreams.”
