Lionsgate Home Entertainment is preparing a Limited Edition 4K Blu-ray of Francis Ford Coppola's The Conversation (1974), starring Gene Hackman, John Cazale, Allen Garfield, Frederic Forrest, and Cindy Williams. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on December 17.
Description: Francis Ford Coppola's 1974 seminal neo-noir thriller The Conversation symbolizes the uneasy line between technology and privacy — a topic more relevant than ever today. Nominated for three Academy Awards® and winner of the prestigious 1974 Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or, this harrowing psychological-thriller stars Gene Hackman alongside Cindy Williams, Frederic Forrest, and Harrison Ford, and is regarded as one of Coppola's greatest films. Harry Caul (Hackman) is a surveillance expert in San Francisco whose routine wiretapping job turns into a nightmare when he hears something disturbing in his recording of a couple — something a lot more important than adulterous goings-on. His investigation of the tape and how it might be used sends Harry spiraling into a web of secrecy, murder, and paranoia.
