"SHAUN OF THE DEAD" Steelbook Shambles Onto 4K Ultra HD this December!
Few films succeed in balancing humor and horror like “Shaun of the Dead”. The tremendous 2nd feature from Edgar Wright was an equal parts love letter to the zombie genre as it was a hilarious rom-com and has become a modern cult classic, rightfully so. In celebration of the film’s 20th anniversary (this makes us feel old) Universal and StudioCanal have partnered to bring some truly amazing commemorative merchandise, but nothing as awesome as this new 4L UHD steelbook! Check out the press release below for more details, and be on the lookout for a review. Oh, and don’t forget, you’ve got red on you!
From The Press Release
September 24th marks 20 bloody years for SHAUN OF THE DEAD, the greatest zom-com ever made. To celebrate, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, Focus Features and Studiocanal have partnered with director Edgar Wright to remaster the movie in 4K Ultra HD with Dolby Vision and immersive Dolby Atmos sound. Fans can own the remastered version on digital and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray and access a new, never-before-seen bonus piece featuring Edgar Wright along with stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Hours of existing bonus will also be made available for the first time on participating digital platforms, including Apple TV, Movies Anywhere, and Fandango at Home.
Directed by legendary filmmaker Edgar Wright (Baby Driver, Last Night in Soho), SHAUN OF THE DEAD boasts a fan-favorite cast starring Simon Pegg (Hot Fuzz, Star Trek), Nick Frost (The World’s End, Paul), Kate Ashfield (Beyond Borders), Lucy Davis (Wonder Woman, “The Office”), and more!
There comes a day in every man’s life when he has to get off the couch…and kill some zombies. When flesh-eating zombies are on the hunt for a bite to eat, it’s up to slacker Shaun (Simon Pegg) and his best pal Ed (Nick Frost) to save their friends and family from becoming the next entrée. Satisfy your bloodthirsty appetite with the movie that masters of horror and film critics alike are hailing as a screamingly hilarious zomedy that will have you dying with laughter.
