Additionally, they\u2019ll also be releasing <strong><em>The Silence of the Lambs<\/em><\/strong> on 4K\u2026just in time for some liver and fava beans this Halloween. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each disc is packed with bonus material and features stunning artwork. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m especially curious about the extended cut of <em>Frankenstein<\/em>, weighing in at 158-minutes\u2026to my knowledge, nearly an extra thirty minutes of footage. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In<em> Frankenstein<\/em>, <strong>Oscar Isaac<\/strong> plays the mad doctor who decides to play god and creates life through his Monster (played by<strong> Jacob Elordi<\/strong> in a stunning portrayal). When the creature escapes, though, he finds life to be miserable, and demands that Dr. Frankenstein make a bride for him or face losing everyone he loves. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then there\u2019s <strong>Jonathan Demme<\/strong>\u2018s award-winning adaptation of <strong>Thomas Harris<\/strong>\u2018 novel, <em>The Silence of the Lambs<\/em>. The film stars <strong>Jodie Foster<\/strong> as a rookie detective tasked with seeing what she can learn about the serial killer Buffalo Bill (<strong>Ted Levine<\/strong>) from cannibalistic prisoner, Dr. Hannibal Lecter (<strong>Anthony Hopkins<\/strong>). <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each film is excellent in its own way. Each comes to stunning 4K from Criterion, an early Halloween gift, you could say. The news is certainly giving me a few jolts of electricity, I\u2019ll tell you that. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pre-order <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.criterion.com\/films\/35825-frankenstein\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.criterion.com\/films\/35825-frankenstein\"><em>Frankenstein<\/em><\/a> and <em><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.criterion.com\/films\/528-the-silence-of-the-lambs\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.criterion.com\/films\/528-the-silence-of-the-lambs\">The Silence of the Lambs<\/a> <\/em>now. <em>Lambs<\/em> will arrive on <strong>October 20th<\/strong>, while <em>Frankenstein<\/em> will become available on <strong>October 27th<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<h4 id=\"h-frankenstein-director-approved-4k-uhd-blu-ray-special-edition-features\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>FRANKENSTEIN<\/em> DIRECTOR-APPROVED 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>4K digital master of the theatrical version of the film, with Dolby Atmos soundtrack<\/li>\n<li>4K digital master of\u00a0<em>Frankenstein: The Reborn Cut,\u00a0<\/em>a new 158-minute extended director\u2019s cut of the film, with Dolby Atmos soundtrack<\/li>\n<li>Two 4K UHD discs of the films presented in Dolby Vision HDR and two Blu-rays with the films and special features<\/li>\n<li>New audio commentary on\u00a0<em>The Reborn Cut,<\/em>\u00a0featuring director Guillermo del Toro<\/li>\n<li><em>The Anatomy Lesson: Director\u2019s Cut,<\/em>\u00a0a new documentary on the making of the film<\/li>\n<li><em>The Parlour,<\/em>\u00a0a collection of conversations on craft featuring del Toro; actors Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, and Oscar Isaac; cinematographer Dan Laustsen; production designer Tamara Deverell; costume designer Kate Hawley; and creature designer Mike Hill<\/li>\n<li>Q&amp;As moderated by filmmaker Martin Scorsese and musician Patti Smith<\/li>\n<li>Interview with composer Alexandre Desplat conducted by film-music scholar Jon Burlingame<\/li>\n<li>Trailer<\/li>\n<li>English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing and English descriptive audio<\/li>\n<li>PLUS: An essay by scholar and author Christopher Frayling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Denver Balbaboco<\/strong> did the artwork for the disc. <\/p>\n<h4 id=\"h-the-silence-of-the-lambs-4k-uhd-blu-ray-special-edition-features\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS<\/em>  4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>4K digital restoration, supervised by director of photography Tak Fujimoto, with 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack<\/li>\n<li>Alternate 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack<\/li>\n<li>One 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and two Blu-rays with the film and special features<\/li>\n<li>Audio commentary from 1994 featuring director Jonathan Demme, actors Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins, screenwriter Ted Tally, and former FBI agent John Douglas<\/li>\n<li>Interview with critic Maitland McDonagh<\/li>\n<li>Deleted scenes<\/li>\n<li>Interview from 2005 with Demme and Foster<\/li>\n<li>Four documentaries featuring hours of interviews with cast and crew<\/li>\n<li>Behind-the-scenes featurette<\/li>\n<li>Storyboards<\/li>\n<li>Trailer<\/li>\n<li>English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing<\/li>\n<li>PLUS: An introduction by Foster; two essays, one by critic Amy Taubin and one by critics Willow Catelyn Maclay and Caden Mark Gardner; pieces from 2000 and 2013 by author Thomas Harris on the origins of the character Hannibal Lecter; and a 1991 interview with Demme<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cover art by <strong>Sean Freeman<\/strong> and <strong>Eve Steben<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"single-tags\">Tags: criterion Frankenstein The Silence of the Lambs <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"categories single-categories\">Categorized:News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you just heard some high-pitched scream rip through your neighborhood, don\u2019t worry, that was probably me reacting to the news that Criterion is set to unleash the extended cut of Guillermo del Toro\u2018s Frankenstein this October!
