Luc Besson’s ultra-cool cult classic Subway is getting a 4K UHD upgrade thanks to Studiocanal UK.
Co-releasing with Gaumont, Subway will come in a collectable 3-disc 4K UHD SteelBook releasing June. It will feature brand new extras and striking new artwork by Flore Maquin who designed the stunning Leon and Nikita limited edition SteelBooks.
This is a definitive and strictly limited edition release of the iconic and irresistible crime thriller set on the Paris Métro. Directed by Christopher Lambert (Highlander, Greystoke), Isabelle Adjani (Possession, The Driver), Jean-Hughes Anglade (Betty Blue, Nikita) and Jean Reno (Leon, Nikita).
This was Besson’s second feature after The Last Battle, Subway is a vivid urban odyssey which helped to consolidate his growing reputation for unique, visually creative cinema. It thrust Lambert into the spotlight, winning him a César Award for Best Actor. With a soundtrack from Éric Serra – who would become Besson’s regular collaborator – and dazzling cinematography by Carlo Varini (The Big Blue).
