Francis Ford Coppola’s The Outsiders (1983) has been remastered in 4k and “The Complete Novel” extended version will be presented in theaters, on HBO Max, followed by 4k Blu-ray in both the extended and original theatrical versions.
On 4k Blu-ray, The Outsiders is presented in 2160p 4k with HDR10 High Dynamic Range. Audio formats are to be confirmed, but subtitles are offered English SDH, French, and Spanish.
“For ‘The Outsiders The Complete Novel’ as well as the original theatrical version, we wanted to create and maintain the highest level of visual quality possible for these restorations,” commented James Mockoski, Film Archivist and Restoration Supervisor at American Zoetrope.”
“We took the unusual path of locating all the various elements that went into creating the film’s most elaborate visual effects sequences and re-scanned them. Luckily, Mr. Coppola is an archivist at heart and he kept every piece of film he shot, so we were able to unify scenes from the film using the original camera negative as much as possible. It was important to Mr. Coppola to give this release its best quality presentation, and no one has ever seen this film looking as beautiful and pristine as it does now.”
The new 4k Blu-ray title with 1 BD and 3BDs from StudioCanal will arrive in North America on Nov. 9 and The Collector’s Edition in the UK on Nov. 8, 2021. The Collector’s Edition is available to pre-order from Amazon UK.
