Johnny Mnemonic starring Keanu Reeves releasing in Black & White on Blu-ray

Johnny Mnemonic- In Black and White Blu-rayRobert Longo’s Johnny Mnemonic had a bit of resurrection when it was converted to black and white and included as an extra with the digital purchase of the film (we first discovered it on Apple iTunes). The cyberpunk thriller gets even more noir in black and white, revealing some of the film’s more objective narrative and dystopian setting envisioned by story-creator William Gibson.

Johnny Mnemonic stars Keanu Reeves as a “cyber courier” who transports encrypted data within a storage device implanted in his brain. Dolph Lundgren is a bounty hunter named Karl Honig who is instructed to track down Johnny after he goes rogue. And, Dina Meyer stars as a genetically-enhanced bodyguard. The film also features actor Takeshi Kitano, actor/artist Ice-T, and singer/writer Henry Rollins.

On Blu-ray Disc, the 97-minute film is presented in 1080p at 1.85:1 aspect ratio with DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. Johnny Mnemonic In Black and White arrives on Blu-ray Disc on August 16, 2022. The single-disc edition carries an MSRP of $24.99 US.

Black and white films certainly have found a niché in cinema but also in home theater applications. Last year, we saw Zack Snyder’s Justice League released in black and white (aptly titled “Justice is Grey“) simultaneously with the color version on HBO Max. Logan, a film that was apparently pitched to the studios to be in black and white, is also available as an extra on disc and digital editions.

Newer cinematic releases in black and white include Passing (2021) starring Tessa Thompson and Oscar-nominated feature The Lighthouse (2019) starring Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson, as well as Alfonso Cuarón’s 3x Oscar-winning film Roma (2018) to name a few.
