On July 28, the dystopian science fiction masterpiece Soylent Green makes its global debut on 4K UHD. Director Richard Fleischer (Fantastic Voyage) creates a police thriller set within a desolate future where humanity is bursting at the seams. The Limited Edition release features a brand new 4K restoration from the original 35mm camera negative by Arrow Films, hours of special features and newly commissioned extras. A Blu-ray edition will also be available.
The greenhouse effect has ravaged Earth’s climate, leaving the world eternally hot and crops unable to grow in the year 2022. People survive on Soylent Green crackers manufactured from plankton, while a population explosion has crammed 40 million people into New York City. The poor and downtrodden sleep on staircases and in basements, while the wealthy live in luxury apartments and eat real food, including beef. NYPD Homicide Detective Robert Thorn (Charlton Heston, Planet of the Apes) investigates the murder of a rich man in a secure skyscraper. Police researcher Solomon Roth (Edward G. Robinson, Little Caesar) picks through the clues to uncover a motive for the killing. The cast also includes Leigh Taylor-Young (Jagged Edge), Chuck Connors (Old Yeller), Joseph Cotten (Citizen Kane), and Brock Peters (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home).
Special features include a 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible); original lossless mono audio; optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing; an archive audio commentary with director Richard Fleischer and star Leigh Taylor-Young; a brand new audio commentary; archive on-stage interviews with Charlton Heston and Richard Fleischer at the BFI; A Look at the World of Soylent Green; MGM's Tribute to Edward G. Robinson's 101st Film; the theatrical trailer; image galleries; and a collectors' booklet.
