Shout! Studios is thrilled to announce the release of “Quigley Down Under” on 4K UHD, as part of its esteemed Shout Select line.
This classic film, set for release on March 12, has been meticulously remastered with a new 4K scan of the original camera negative, promising an unparalleled viewing experience. Alongside this pristine presentation, the release is packed with several bonus features that delve into the making and legacy of this unique Western.
Starring Tom Selleck, Laura San Giacomo, and Alan Rickman, “Quigley Down Under” offers a refreshing twist on the traditional Western genre. Directed by the mastermind behind “Lonesome Dove,” the film transports viewers to the Australian outback for an epic adventure. American sharpshooter Matthew Quigley finds himself embroiled in conflict when he realizes his supposed mission to kill wild dogs is a cover for a much darker objective.
Refusing to partake in the murder of Aborigines at the behest of a wealthy cattle baron, Quigley becomes the target of his former employer, setting the stage for a dramatic showdown.
The 4K UHD release brings this captivating story to life like never before, enhanced by a host of special features on a companion Blu-ray disc.
These extras include a new interview with Laura San Giacomo (“Finding Crazy Cora”), a detailed exploration of the Sharps Rifle with master armorer Mike Tristano (“This One Shoots a Mite Further”), and a featurette on the film’s revival of the Western genre (“The Rebirth of a Western”). The package also includes the original theatrical trailer, TV spots, and boasts English DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Stereo.
