Paramount Home Entertainment has officially announced that the Sergio Leone spaghetti western classic Once Upon A Time In The West will be available to own on 4K UHD Blu-Ray on May 14, 2024, for its 55th Anniversary as a part of the Paramount Presents line. One of the most iconic and influential movies ever made, the epic has been restored from the original 35mm Techniscope camera negative by Paramount’s archive team, L’Immagine Ritrovata, and The Film Foundation. This restoration honors the 2007 Film Foundation photochemical restoration overseen by legendary director Martin Scorsese by matching its build and color palette. The result is the definitive home release of the film, which features the 165-minute extended cut restored to its glory.
Widely considered to be one of the greatest Westerns—and one of the greatest films—ever made, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST was selected for preservation by the Library of Congress in the U.S. National Film Registry in 2009. The film stars Claudia Cardinale, Henry Fonda, Jason Robards, and Charles Bronson. A must-own for every cinephile’s collection, the release will be presented in a Limited-Edition two-disc 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray set that includes both new and legacy bonus content, as well as access to a Digital copy of the film. The film is presented in Dolby Vision and HDR-10, along with English 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio and English Restored Mono Dolby Digital for an exceptional home viewing experience. Get the details below!
