One of the greatest films of all time, The Shawshank Redemption, is getting a massive ultimate collector’s home release. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment say that they will release the mammoth edition later this year with the movie packed with bonus content.
Few movies capture the triumph of the human spirit as memorably as Frank Darabont’s film The Shawshank Redemption, from the same Stephen King story collection that gave us Stand By Me. Morgan Freeman plays Red, a lifer who knows how to cope with the hopelessness of Shawshank State Prison. Tim Robbins plays new inmate Andy, a quiet banker wrongly convicted of murder – and whose indomitable will earns Red’s respect and friendship. Andy’s resourcefulness brings hope and change to the entire prison. He’s full of surprises. And the best comes last, leading to one of the most satisfying finales in movie history.
The release is a Limited Edition Blu-ray™ and will hit shevles on September 28, exclusively on Zavvi in the UK.
Here are the full bonus materials as supplied by the studio.
