  • We're thrilled to announce the brand new 4K restoration of John Guillermin’s Academy Award® Winning remake of iconic Hollywood classic, KING KONG (1976). Starring Jeff Bridges (The Big Lebowski, Crazy Heart, True Grit) and Jessica Lange (Tootsie, American Horror Story), and produced by Hollywood legend Dino de Laurentiis (Flash Gordon, Nights of Cabiria, Barbarella), this retelling of the classic monster adventure film went on to jointly win the Academy Award® for Best Visual Effects as well as receiving Academy Award® nominations for Best Cinematography and Best Sound. Jessica Lange was also honoured as Best new Actress for her role at the Golden Globes that same year.
    Now restored in 4K for the first time, STUDIOCANAL will re-release the film across Blu-Ray, DVD and Digital release in the UK from November 23rd.
    Fred Wilson (Charles Grodin), an employee of a large American oil company, has been charged with a mission to find new oil wells. With a chartered boat, he sets off on a journey to an uninhabited island in the South Pacific. On board is also a stowaway: the palaeontologist Jack Prescott (Jeff Bridges) has smuggled himself onto the ship, as he hopes to examine a rare species of monkey on this island. On the way, after a violent storm, the expedition also takes on board the shipwrecked Dawn (Jessica Lange), who is floating in a lifeboat at sea. When the ship anchors off the island, however, it turns out not to be as uninhabited as everyone once thought. The natives of the island perform a strange ritual to worship a larger-than-life ape named "Kong". As soon as they catch sight of the blonde Dawn, they decide they have found their perfect offering.
    The Bonus Features include:
    • Extended TV broadcast cut (unrestored)
    • Audio commentary with film historian Ray Morton
    • Audio commentary with actor and makeup artist Rick Baker
    • Interview with Barry Nolan
    • Interview with Bill Kronick
    • Interview with Scott Thaler and Jeffrey Chernov
    • Interview with David McGiffert and Brian E. Frankish

      With the premise this Trailer is tastelessly overdone and does not represent at all the actual Restoration seen on UHD, it's actually professionals who are tired of uncultured people who never saw a piece of 35mm film in their lives, and grown up with old horrendous electric telecined neutralized masters made for TVs, complaining about movies finally regaining the filmic chromas inherent in analog film.
      How could anyone enjoy Shout Factory's version, which is a decades old telecined master that not only looks dreadful in terms of PQ in every conceivable way, but also completely revisionist to how this movie originally theatrically looked, is truly hard to comprehend.
      There's literal countless identical-looking home-video versions of this movie already covering all formats, let for once the many enthusiast and people working in this industry alike who waited decades finally get their chance to watch a movie shot on film the way a movie shot on film is meant to be seen, without having to spend thousands of dollars on film prints.
      Just enjoy the old, magenta, desaturated, lifeless, ancient looking TV versions you already own.

    This new color grading is garish revisionist history and not how the film was intended to look by the director or cinematographer.
    More than ever physical media enthusiasts are the custodians and preservationists of these films, so it's important what is encapsulated is representative of the actual film fans grew up with - unedited, uncensored, and with any restoration in keeping with how the creators intended it. An accurate historical document which is respectful to Richard Kline’s original cinematography and color choices, which did not include the over saturation and heavy handed teal tones.

    Well, I saw this 4K StudioCanal version. And sadly, I must say something is very wrong here. Day scenes looked okay? but the night scenes and even some indoor scenes looked way too dark(ugly). For example, when Kong comes for Dwan, it's almost impossible to see anything! So dark! And it wasn't like that in the cinema in 1976! Too often Blu-ray & 4K transfer makes the movie worse than it was in cinema or on DVD! It's very sad because I love-love-love 1976 King Kong! This movie has a huge nostalgic value to me. Great film! Jessica Lange: The hottest woman in 1976!

    The overdone grading seen in this Trailer doesn't match the incredible restoration found on the UHD, which is an absolutely stunning presentation of what a movie shot on film should look like. Naturally filmic chromas inherent in analog 35mm which have been lost for way too long in favor of ancient, neutralized, telecined masters made for TVs that plagued every home-video version before, including the Shout! Factory laughable release. About damn time.
