On June 24, the science fiction film noir Dark City from acclaimed director Alex Proyas (The Crow) makes its global premiere on 4K UHD, and will also be available as a Limited Edition Blu-ray. The release features 4K Ultra HD (2160p) Blu-ray presentations of both the theatrical release and the director’s cut in a new 4K restoration from the original 35mm camera negatives approved by director of photography Dariusz Wolski, and hours of special features.

John Murdoch (Rufus Sewell, A Knight’s Tale) wakes up in a hotel bathtub with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Even more disturbing is the sight of a dead body on the floor. The phone rings and the caller (Keifer Sutherland, The Lost Boys) tells him to leave the room immediately, which sends Murdoch on the run. Police inspector Frank Bumstead (William Hurt, Avengers: Endgame) suspects Murdoch is a serial killer, but this is more than a murder mystery. In his confused state of mind, Murdoch notices how the city changes when the clock hits midnight. The only thing constant is the eternal night. The ominous strangers in black outfits are behind the metamorphosis, including Mr. Hand (Richard O’Brien, The Rocky Horror Picture Show), who wants Murdoch to go to sleep like the rest of the city’s residents. Dark City is a visually stunning film that takes the conventions of classic film noir to an imaginative and fascinating alternate reality.

The special features include a 60-page perfect bound collectors book featuring new writing by author Richard Kadrey, and film critics Sabina Stent, Virat Nehru and Martyn Pedler; and a double-sided fold-out poster featuring original and newly commissioned artwork. The director’s cut has brand new audio commentaries by director Alex Proyas, Craig Anderson, Bruce Isaacs, and Herschel Isaacs; archival audio commentaries by director Alex Proyas, film critic Roger Ebert, writers Lem Dobbs, and David S. Goyer; an archival introduction by Alex Proyas; a new hour-long documentary with interviews, including director Alex Proyas, producer Andrew Mason, production designers Patrick Tatopoulos and George Liddle, costume designer Liz Keough, and storyboard artist Peter Pound; visual essays by film scholar Alexandra West and Josh Nelson on film noir, and design and storyboards. The theatrical cut includes archival audio commentaries by director Alex Proyas, writers Lem Dobbs and David S. Goyer, director of photography Dariusz Wolski, production designer Patrick Tatopoulos, and Roger Ebert; archival featurettes on the making of the film; the theatrical trailer; and an image gallery.

The Limited Edition release features a 1080p high-definition transfer on Blu-ray with hours of special features. 

Inept and bumbling man-child Sanshiro (Osamu Sakai, Zatoichi At Large) is a clumsy swordsman and wants to quit the kendo dojo, but his father is a respected samurai. After his father is murdered, Sanshiro knows he must get revenge, but he’s not exactly a fearsome warrior. When his father is being taken to the afterlife, a spectre gives Sanshiro an exotic recipe to make an invisibility potion. Can he uncover his father’s murderers when no one can see him? The film blends action-packed fantasy with the world of samurai, creating an unforgettable experience.

Swordfish [Limited Edition]

Slick, stylish and action-packed, Swordfish is a nail-biting high-tech thriller from its explosive opening to its thrilling climax.

The 90s saw an ever-growing number of action-thrillers based around computers and the internet as more and more people connected to the information superhighway. Fresh from the success of The Matrix, legendary producer Joel Silver (Road House, The Invasion) would ride the wave of this global phenomenon into the next millennium with high concept hit Swordfish. Former master hacker Stanley Jobson (Hugh Jackman) is on parole after getting caught infiltrating an FBI program. Even so much as glancing at a computer could send him straight back to prison, but Stanley’s new offline life is interrupted when he’s approached by the mysterious Gabriel Shear (John Travolta), who offers him $10 million for one last hacking job. Unable to resist the lure of the computer screen, Stanley accepts and finds himself caught in the middle of a complex web of intrigue involving several covert agencies and a nine billion-dollar government slush fund. Slick, stylish and action-packed, Swordfish is a nail-biting high-tech thriller from its explosive opening to its thrilling climax, with a great supporting cast including Halle Berry, Don Cheadle and Vinnie Jones.

Dark City [Limited Edition]

A mind-bending science fiction thriller set in a shadowy world where the sun never rises and nothing is quite what it seems.

From Alex Proyas, visionary director of The Crow, comes Dark City, a mind-bending science fiction thriller set in a shadowy world where the sun never rises and nothing is quite what it seems. John Murdoch (Rufus Sewell) wakes in a hotel bathtub with no memory of who he is or how he got there, but there’s a body on the floor with bloody spirals carved into the flesh and a voice on the phone that tells him to flee. Soon Murdoch is on the run, wanted by the police, a woman who claims to be his wife and a group of mysterious pale men who seem to control everyone and everything in the city… except him. With a cast that includes Kiefer Sutherland (The Lost Boys), William Hurt (A History of Violence), Jennifer Connelly (Phenomena) and Richard O’Brien (The Rocky Horror Picture Show), and a script by Proyas, Lem Dobbs (Kafka) and David S. Goyer (Batman Begins), Dark City is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, filmed through a lens of film noir and German expressionism… an extraordinary feast for the cinematic senses.

The Invisible Swordsman [Limited Edition]

Mysterious sprites, eerie supernatural goings on and heroic sword-fighting action abound in this mystical tale of vengeance and adventure.

Mysterious sprites, eerie supernatural goings on and heroic sword-fighting action abound in this mystical tale of vengeance and adventure from the makers of the Zatoichi, Daimajin and Yokai Monsters films. In Edo-era Japan, Sanshiro diligently hones his sword-fighting technique at the kendo dojo, but no amount of practice can hide the fact that he is both clumsy and cowardly. When his samurai father falls prey to a gang of murderous phantom thieves while on night watch duties, Sanshiro is drawn to the banks of the Sanzu River that separates the worlds of the living and the dead. Here he encounters a strange being that introduces itself as a Shokera. The otherworldly apparition offers advice on how Sanshiro can avenge his father with the aid of a mysterious potion with the power to turn him invisible. But first Sanshiro must gather the ingredients, and his father’s killers might be closer to home than he thinks. Directed by Yoshiyuki Kuroda (Yokai Monsters: Spook Warfare, Lone Wolf and Cub: White Heaven in Hell) and beautifully shot by Hiroshi Imai (Zatoichi and the Doomed Man, The Haunted Palace), The Invisible Swordsman boasts the sumptuous attention to its historical setting, costume design, fight choreography and period details that Daiei Kyoto were renowned for, all with an added dose of rip-roaring fantasy and adventure. Arrow Films is proud to release this unseen gem in a brand new high-definition transfer for the very first time for the home video market outside of Japan.
