How far west can a cowboy go? In the case of Tom Selleck, he was able to ride the range in Australia for Quigley Down Under. Alan Rickman (Die Hard) plays an evil landowner who brings Quigley (Selleck) to this distant land to help him clear his land. However, it’s not wild animals he wants chased off. Now you’ll be able to see more of the Outback with the improved resolution when the 4K UHD arrives in March. Here’s the press release from Shout! Studios:
TOM SELLECK’S QUIGLEY DOWN UNDER
TO DEBUT ON 4K FROM SHOUT SELECT
QUIGLEY DOWN UNDER (4K UHD)
ARRIVES STATESIDE MARCH 12
Los Angeles, CA – The west was never this far west! Shout! Studios will release Quigley Down Under (4K UHD) on March 12 as part of its Shout Select line. The film boasts a new 4K scan of the original camera negative as well as several bonus features.
Tom Selleck, Laura San Giacomo, and Alan Rickman star in Quigley Down Under, a stylish take on the venerable Western genre from the director of Lonesome Dove.
Arriving in Australia with nothing more than a saddle and his prized six-foot Sharps rifle, American sharpshooter Matthew Quigley (Selleck) thinks he’s been hired to kill off wild dogs. But when he realizes that his mission is murder — to eradicate the Aborigines from the property of a wealthy cattle baron (Rickman) — Quigley refuses … and quickly turns from hunter to hunted. Forced to wage a savage war against his former employer, Quigley proves that no one gets the best of a steely-eyed gunfighter — no one, that is, except the mysterious beauty (San Giacomo) who rides by his side … and captures his heart.
