FINALLY! The project I am proudest of thus far, that took years to bring to fruition with the wonderful team at Paramount, and led me to interviews with Martin Scorsese and Paul Schrader in New York City, and into Nicolas Cage’s house in Vegas, will be landing on 4k January 13th. BRINGING OUT THE DEAD is truly Scorsese’s hidden gem, and we went all out with new interviews (also including cinematographer Bob Richardson), never before seen on-set interviews with John Goodman, Patricia Arquette, Ving Rhames, Marc Anthony, and Tom Sizemore, and more. The initial limited run Blu-ray sold out immediately and has been out of print since, and I cannot overstate how overjoyed I am to announce this 4k and Blu set. A beautiful film loaded with outstanding performances. I’m so happy! Pre-orders are open now. Details below.
SYNOPSIS
25 years ago, legendary director Martin Scorsese (KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON) reteamed with screenwriter Paul Schrader (TAXI DRIVER, RAGING BULL) for one of their most compelling gems of their storied careers—BRINGING OUT THE DEAD. Nicolas Cage is Frank Pierce, a paramedic on the brink of madness. Patricia Arquette is the daughter of a man Frank tried to save. Together, they’ll need to confront the ghosts of the past to discover redemption among the living. The powerhouse supporting cast includes John Goodman, Ving Rhames, Marc Anthony and Tom Sizemore. Featuring all-new interviews with Scorsese and Cage, this must-have limited-edition Paramount Presents marks the movie’s debut on both Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD, remastered from a new transfer of the original camera negative.
