On November 4, the Sci-fi thriller Outland makes its universal 4K UHD debut. Writer-director Peter Hyams (2010: The Year We Make Contact) combines elements of a classic Western and Film Noir in a gripping drama that takes place in outer space. Outland features a brand new 4K restoration from the original 35mm camera negative by Arrow Films. The Limited Edition release is packed with hours of special features, collectible packaging, and newly commissioned extras.
Federal marshal William O'Niel (Sean Connery, The Untouchables) receives an assignment at a titanium mining operation on Io, a moon of Jupiter. This is a hostile environment where miners in spacesuits work on the harsh rocky surface in 14-hour shifts. There’s not much to do inside the climate controlled outpost besides play racquetball, hang out at a gentleman’s club, and spend their pay in a brothel, all of which are overseen by Mark Sheppard (Peter Boyle, Young Frankenstein). The miners are under a lot of pressure to hit quotas. A few have snapped, exposed themselves to the moon’s atmosphere, and suffered horrible deaths. The company blames the incidents on mental breakdowns. O’Niel suspects there is more to the story and enlists the unwilling help of Dr. Lazarus (Frances Sternhagen, Misery). They discover a dangerous stimulant in the blood of a deceased worker, which keeps the miners working long hours for months on end and ultimately leads to psychotic episodes. Can O’Niel break up the drug ring responsible for the deaths?
Special features include a 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible); original DTS-HD MA 5.1 surround audio and lossless stereo audio options; optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing; archival audio commentary with writer-director Peter Hyams; brand new audio commentary; brand new interviews with writer-director Peter Hyams and others; a brand new video appreciation; a brand new visual essay; the theatrical trailer; an image gallery; a double-sided fold-out poster; and an illustrated collector’s booklet.
