In the film, when an on-edge family man and unemployed contract killer (Neil Maskell of Hijack and Bull) accepts a new assignment of three separate targets, the list will drag him to the edge of madness and plunge him into the depths of Hell. Michael Smiley (The Lobster, Censor) and MyAnna Buring (The Descent) co-star in the horror flick, scanned in 4K from the 35mm digital intermediate negative with more than six hours of new and archival special features. Special features include audio commentary with Wheatley and Severin Films’ Mike Hewitt; archival commentary Wheatley and co-writer Amy Jump; archival commentary with actors Neil Maskell, MyAnna Buring and Michael Smiley; “The Hitmen Return,” an interview with Maskell and Smiley; “The Gift of Sound And Vision,” an interview with director of photography Laurie Rose and sound recordist Rob Entwistle; “Unsettling Soundscapes,” an interview with sound designer Martin Pavey; “Cunning Stunts in the Editing Room,” an interview with editor Robin Hill; an archival making-of featurette; archival interviews with Wheatley, producers Claire Jones and Andrew Starke, and actors Maskell and Buring; Assault on Sun Hill, Wheatley’s John Carpenter homage filmed for FrightFest 2011 featuring Maskell and Buring; and the trailer.
Emmanuelle, the erotic film that launched the iconic careers of director Just Jaeckin and star Sylvia Kristel, redefined cultural perceptions of “adult entertainment” and transformed female sexuality on screen forever, is being released on Blu-ray Disc and 4K Ultra HD disc, as well as in an 11-disc collection on 4K Ultra HD disc. Based on the bestselling memoir by Emmanuelle Arsan, the film follows a diplomat’s wife (Kristel) who unlocks her deepest carnal desires in the bedrooms and back rooms of Bangkok. The three-disc 4K Ultra HD presentation includes the original theatrical version and director’s cut — which removes the one sequence filmed without Jaeckin’s permission — both scanned in 4K from the original camera negative by StudioCanal and approved by camera operator Robert Fraisse, with more than six hours of special features that include a revealing new featurette on Arsan, the U.S. Premiere of the 2000 documentary A Hard Look directed by Alex Cox (Repo Man) and much more.
In addition to the 1974 original film in both cuts, the collection includes Kristel returning in 1975’s Emmanuelle 2, featuring a soundtrack by Academy Award winner Francis Lai; 1977’s Goodbye Emmanuelle, again starring Kristel; and the rarely seen and darkly provocative 1969 Italian production I, Emmanuelle, inspired by the then-newly published memoir by Emmanuelle Arsan. All four films in this limited edition collection are now scanned in 4K from their original camera negatives, with more than 15 combined hours of new and archival special features, two bonus soundtrack CDs, a 128-page booklet of essays, Sylvia Kristel artwork and more.
