Ive checked out the film, andhave been checking out the special features.
The 4K UHD will include a limited-edition poster of Sophie Bland’s artwork and as you can see, they look great. New artworks have been created for the Home Entertainment releases by graphic designer Sophie Bland, and for the 4K UHD Steelbook release by Francesco Francavilla. STUDIOCANAL have released the film across 4K UHD Blu-ray (which also contains the 3 hour TV broadcast version of the film), Blu-ray, DVD and Digital as well as a 4K UHD Steelbook. Jessica Lange was also honoured as Best new Actress for her role at the Golden Globes that same year. Tetrick, William McCaughey, Aaron Rochin and Jack Solomon). Starring Jeff Bridges( The Big Lebowski, Crazy Heart, True Grit) and Jessica Lange ( Tootsie, American Horror Story), and produced by Hollywood legend Dino de Laurentiis ( Flash Gordon, Nights of Cabiria, Barbarella), this retelling of the classic monster adventure film went on to jointly win the Academy Award® for Best Visual Effects (Carlo Rambaldi, Glen Robinson and Frank Van der Veer), as well as receiving Academy Award® nominations for Best Cinematography (Richard H. Id forgotten h ow much I enjoyed this version of King Kong. The restoration looks fantastic and looked fantastic on my wall projector. Of course now the last time I revisited the film was this weekend and it took me right back to childhood. I saw this film at the cinema when it was released when I was just a young un and I think the last time I saw it would have been the late 80s when it was on a tv broadcast. These scenes were far from King Kong's only shortcoming, but they were certainly the most notable ones.STUDIOCANAL have now released the brand new 4K restoration of John Guillermin’s( Blazing Inferno, Death on the Nile) Academy Award Winning remake of iconic Hollywood classic, KING KONG(1976). And the extended sequences between them, constituting a considerable portion of the second act, suggest doubling down on the problem rather than acknowledging the extent of it. It would be challenging enough to pull such moments off with modern special effects, but the combination of an obviously phony Kong and a tone-deaf approach to a delicate moment is cringe-inducing.
It produced not only an uncomfortably straightforward variation of the charged scene from 1933 but even more awkward moments, such as a scene where Lange bathes beneath a waterfall and Kong blows her dry. To top it all off, the film made overt what the 1933 version only hinted at, presenting a Kong with overtly erotic intentions and a heroine who appeared to respond. The ape suit was dreadfully unconvincing, and while Lange expressed a certain knowing campiness in her performance, she lacked the material to do much more with the character. That said, little about their work here spoke to better things.
