Ridley Scott’s Kingdom of Heaven Director’s Cut Hits 4K Blu-ray

Initially, “A Knight’s Tale” underwent a 4K upgrade, and now it’s “Kingdom of Heaven,” directed by Ridley Scott in 2005, that’s set to receive a remarkable overhaul with an exquisite Steelbook packaging. Notably, the 3-disc collection will incorporate both the Director’s Cut and the Roadshow Version of the movie. The latter version offers a grander experience, reminiscent of the early cinema era. These screenings were exclusive events for select audiences, featuring additional scenes, musical scores, and an intermission. Fans can anticipate hearing commentary from Orlando Bloom, Ridley Scott, and Writer William Monahan about the Roadshow Version as part of the 8 hours of supplemental material included.

The “Kingdom of Heaven” is getting an upgraded 4K UHD/Blu-ray/Digital release, boasting Dolby Vision and Atmos remastering, and will arrive in a stunning Steelbook with a sword and mask design. Expected to hit the shelves on May 27th, pre-orders are anticipated to go live soon on Amazon and Walmart (links will be added once they’re available).
