Warner Bros. Formally Announces 40th Anniversary of A Clockwork Orange

Disc Announcements, News

Forty years ago, director Stanley Kubrick introduced the concept of “ultra-violence” when he directed A Clockwork Orange. A controversial film based on a controversial book, the film would only add to Kubrick’s legenardy status as a film-maker. Now in honor of the film’s 40th anniversary, Warner Bros. pays tribute to the film and director Stanley Kubrick by unveiling a new 40th anniversary release as well as a new box set featuring nine of the director’s films.


On May 31, Warner Home Video will honor Kubrick and the film with A Clockwork Orange 40th Anniversary Edition on Blu-ray ($34.99 SRP). The two-disc release includes two newly-produced bonus features: Turning Like Clockwork, a 25-minute documentary about the film’s “ultra-violence” and its cultural impact, and a short documentary where Malcolm McDowell reminiscences on working closely with the legendary director. This two-disc edition will also contain the feature-length documentaries, Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures and O Lucky Malcolm! The 40th Anniversary Edition will be packaged in a 40-page Blu-ray book withrare photos and production notes.

Continuing the celebration, WHV will also release the Stanley Kubrick: Limited Edition Collection on Blu-ray
($148.95 SRP) on May 31 — an unprecedented 9-film, 10-disc collection, which contains every film the director made since 1960. The collection features the film and bonus content from A Clockwork Orange 40th Anniversary Edition, the Blu-ray debuts of Lolita and Barry Lyndon, as well as the feature films Spartacus, Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, and Eyes Wide Shut. The Blu-ray collection will be elegantly boxed in new book-style premium packaging and will include a 40-page hard-cover book that explores the breadth of genres and themes in Kubrick’s work.
