"THE TENSION BUILDING, UTILISATION OF ITS FANTASTIC SCORE, THE PERFORMANCES AND TECHNICAL PROWESS ARE SUBLIME."
- JACK RANSOM
Director Sergio Leone’s monumental Western classic Once Upon a Time in the West celebrates its 55th anniversary this year and to mark the occasion Paramount Home Entertainment have released the fully restored film for the first time on 4K Ultra HD on May 13, 2024, as part of a 4K UHD & Blu-ray Collector’s Edition.
One of the most iconic and influential movies ever made, Once Upon a Time in the West has been restored from the original 35mm Techniscope camera negative by Paramount’s archive team, L'Immagine Ritrovata and The Film Foundation. This restoration honours the 2007 Film Foundation photochemical restoration overseen by legendary director Martin Scorsese by matching its build and colour palette. The result is the definitive home release of the film, which features the 165-minute extended cut restored to its glory.
A must-own for every cinephile’s collection, Once Upon a Time in the West will be presented in a Limited-Edition 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray set that includes both new and legacy bonus content. The Collector’s Edition is housed in a rigid slipcase and includes a theatrical poster, six art cards, a collectable Morton train display sign, and a vintage fold out photographic print.
