Poseidon 4K Blu-ray Limited Edition Drops August 11 from Arrow Video
Wolfgang Petersen’s 2006 disaster epic arrives in 4K UHD with Dolby Vision and new bonus features
Poseidon (2006), directed by Wolfgang Petersen (Das Boot, The Perfect Storm), releases on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray from Arrow Video on August 11 in the UK and August 12 in North America. This limited edition marks the film’s first presentation on 4K UHD, featuring a Dolby Vision HDR10-compatible transfer and original DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround sound.
The film updates Paul Gallico’s classic adventure tale with a New Year's Eve disaster aboard the luxury cruise liner Poseidon. A rogue wave sends the vessel plunging into the Atlantic, forcing a group of survivors, played by Kurt Russell, Josh Lucas, Richard Dreyfuss, Andre Braugher, and Emmy Rossum, to band together to escape.
This release includes multiple new and archival supplementary materials that explore the film’s production. Notable extras are interviews with director of photography John Seale, production designer William Sandell, visual effects supervisor Boyd Shermis, and make-up effects supervisor Michael Deak. Additional featurettes examine the impressive set design, visual effects, and retrospective analysis by Heath Holland.
Presentation enhancements include reversible sleeve artwork by Jacey and an illustrated collector’s booklet with new writing by Priscilla Page. Optional English subtitles are provided for the deaf and hard of hearing.
Arrow Video continues its focus on thorough restorations and comprehensive bonus content, making this 4K Ultra HD release a detailed package for collectors and fans of Petersen’s work.
