Arrow Video, with domestic sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, will be releasing both 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray editions of director Guy Ritchie’s 2015 spy thriller, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. on July 30.
Starring Henry Cavill (Argylle, Enola Holmes, Stardust, Man of Steel) as Napoleon Solo and Armie Hammer (Death on the Nile, Hotel Mumbai, Nocturnal Animals) as Illya Kuryakin, the film opened in August of 2015 and pulled in $45.4 million in its domestic run. This will be its 4K Ultra HD debut.
Based on the 1960’s popular television series, the film version is faithful to the spirit of the CIA and the KGB working together for a common purpose … in this case, stopping a rouge terrorist group with nuclear intensions.
Bonus goodies include a newly prepared commentary by film critics Bryan Reesman and Max Evry, new video sessions with co-writer and producer Lionel Wigram and actor Luca Calvani (as Alexander) and two new featurettes — “Legacy of U.N.C.L.E.” and “Cockneys and Robbers.”
Plus there are five archived featurettes — “Spy Vision: Recreating 60s Cool,” “A Higher Class of Hero,” “Metisse Motorcycles: Proper and Very British,” “The Guys from U.N.C.L.E.” and “A Man of Extraordinary Talents” — and the four-part “bite-sized” behind the scenes presentation of “U.N.C.L.E.: On-Set Spy.”
