Dunkirk on 4K Ultra-HD, Blu-ray, DVD & Digital in December
26 October 2017
One of the year’s most acclaimed films, Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk arrives on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, Limited Edition Blu-ray Filmbook, 2 Disc DVD and Digital from Warner Bros. Pictures in December.
Dunkirk opens as hundreds of thousands of British and Allied troops are surrounded by enemy forces. Trapped on the beach with their backs to the sea they face an impossible situation as the enemy closes in. The story unfolds on land, sea and air. RAF Spitfires engage the enemy in the skies above the Channel, trying to protect the defenseless men below. Meanwhile, hundreds of small boats manned by both military and civilians are mounting a desperate rescue effort, risking their lives in a race against time to save even a fraction of their army.
Nolan directed Dunkirk from his own original screenplay, utilising a mixture of IMAX and 65mm film to bring the story to the screen. The film was partially shot on location on the beaches of Dunkirk, France, where the actual events unfolded.
Director Christopher Nolan said, “I’m excited to be releasing Dunkirk on 4K UHD with HDR. The film was shot entirely on the highest definition IMAX and 65mm film and this fantastic new format, with its increased resolution and superior colour reproduction is able to maximize Dunkirk’s impact in the home.”
The film’s ensemble cast includes Fionn Whitehead, Tom Glynn-Carney, Jack Lowden, Harry Styles, Aneurin Barnard, James D’Arcy and Barry Keoghan, with Kenneth Branagh, Cillian Murphy, Mark Rylance and Tom Hardy. Dunkirk was produced by Emma Thomas and Christopher Nolan, with Jake Myers serving as executive producer. The behind-the-scenes creative team included director of photography Hoyte van Hoytema, production designer Nathan Crowley, editor Lee Smith, costume designer Jeffrey Kurland, visual effects supervisor Andrew Jackson and special effects supervisor Scott Fisher. The music was composed by Hans Zimmer.
On 18 December 2017, Dunkirk will be released by Warner Bros. Pictures on 4K Ultra HD, which includes a 4K Ultra HD disc with the feature film in 4K resolution with HDR, a Blu-ray disc with the feature film in hi-definition, a Blu-ray disc with the special features in hi-definition, and a Digital version of the feature film. Also on 18 December, Dunkirk will be released on Blu-ray, Limited Edition Blu-ray Filmbook and 2 Disc DVD. The Blu-ray Filmbook features a Blu-ray disc with the film in hi-definition beautifully packaged in a collector’s edition picture book and a Digital version of the movie. The film will also be available on digital platforms from 12 December 2017.
