American Psycho gets 25th Anniversary Edition 4K

Posted on by

The 2000 film “American Psycho“ will get a 25th Anniversary Collector’s Edition 4K UHD Blu-ray release on December 9th exclusively via Lionsgate Limited. Mary Harron directed the motion picture adaptation of the Bret Easton Ellis novel (of the same title). The movie starred Christian Bale, Reese Witherspoon, Jared Leto, Chloë Sevigny, Justin Theroux, Josh Lucas, Bill Sage, Samantha Mathis, Matt Ross, and Willem Dafoe.

The tech specs for the release include a 2160p video presentation in a 2.39:1 aspect ratio with Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) and Dolby Atmos sound, on a BD-100 disc. The release will be the UNRATED Uncut Version (102 minutes), not the theatrical R-rated version.

The release will include some very imaginative packaging with a certain twist for those who are fans of the Huey Lewis and the News album “Sports.” The 4K disc will come packaged inside a CD jewel case along with some business cards to die for, as well as replica credit and Blockbuster membership cards (as seen below).

The 25th Anniversary Collector’s Edition 4K UHD Blu-ray is now available exclusively for preorder via the Lionsgate Limited website. It’s also worth noting that a VHS “Be Kind, Rewind” edition of the film will also be available in December via Lionsgate Limited as an exclusive.
