StudioCanal has released an official trailer for the brand new 4K restoration of director Michael Cimino's classic film The Deer Hunter (1978), starring Robert De Niro, John Cazale, John Savage, Christopher Walken, and Meryl Streep. The new restoration will open in select cinemas across the United Kingdom on July 4.
Later this summer, the studio will also release The Deer Hunter on 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray.
Synopsis: Winner of five Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor for Christopher Walken, The Deer Hunter is widely acknowledged as one of cinema's great masterpieces and contains some of the most memorable scenes in film history. When Michael (Robert De Niro), Steven (John Savage) and Nick (Christopher Walken) are captured by the Vietcong, they are forced to play Russian Roulette by their brutal captors, who make bets on their survival. The experience of capture leaves them with terrible physical and psychological wounds and when Michael returns to Saigon to fulfil an old promise to one of his friends, he makes an unexpected, horrific discovery.
Also features astonishing performances from Meryl Streep as the woman both Michael and Nick fall in love with, and John Cazale (The Godfather, Dog Day Afternoon) as their unhinged and insecure friend Stan.
