One of the better horror films from the last couple of years, Mandy, starring Nicolas Cage in an unforgettable performance, is making its way to a limited edition Blu-ray towards the end of May, we’ve just learned.
It looks like there’s some nice box art on the new release, and a bunch of new bonus materials, the info for which we have below.
Pacific Northwest. 1983 AD. Outsiders Red Miller (Nicolas Cage) and Mandy Bloom (Andrea Riseborough) lead a loving and peaceful existence. When their pine-scented haven is savagely destroyed by a cult led by the sadistic Jeremiah Sand (Linus Roache), Red is catapulted into a phantasmagoric journey filled with bloody vengeance and laced with fire.
Mandy is written and directed by Panos Cosmatos (Beyond the Black Rainbow) and stars iconic Academy Award® winner, Nicolas Cage (Adaptation, Kick-Ass, Ghost Rider) in his most visceral role to date, alongside the stellar supporting cast of Andrea Riseborough (Birdman, Battle Of The Sexes) and Linus Roache (Batman Begins, Non-Stop). Co-produced by Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings franchise) it is also one of the final films scored by Academy Award®-nominated composer Jóhann Jóhannsson (Sicario, The Theory of Everything).
I managed to catch this one in the grounds of a castle in rural Romania – which would have been great on its own – but it was also in the presence of its lead actor, Mr. Cage who was the guest of honour at the Transilvania Film Festival a couple of years ago. Like me, he was loving every minute of what he saw. You can read more about his appearance at the festival, here.
Here’s a new trailer for the re-release, courtesy of the distributor, Dazzler, as well as the special features.
