To celebrate the 30th anniversary, action classic Leon (also known as The Professional) is getting a 4K special edition Steelbook release this December.
The collectable 4K 3-disc SteelBook, featuring two cuts of the film, hits shelves on 1st December. Leon is directed by Luc Besson (The Big Blue, Nikita, The Fifth Element), and stars Jean Reno (Mission: Impossible, Ronin, The Crimson Rivers), Gary Oldman (Darkest Hour, Sid and Nancy, Romeo is Bleeding) and Natalie Portman (Black Swan, Closer, V for Vendetta) in her film debut.
Twelve-year-old Mathilda lives within the desperate confines of a squalid New York apartment block. On returning from a shopping trip Mathilda finds that her abusive, dysfunctional family (and her beloved younger brother) have been slaughtered by a psychotic, drug dealing police officer. In fear for her life she takes refuge with her reluctant, mysterious and solitary neighbour. His name is Leon and he’s one of the world’s deadliest assassins. And while Mathilda begins to teach him how to live, Leon begins to teach her how to kill.
The collectable SteelBook also includes the theatrical and director’s cut of the film together for the first time in 4K, and comes with two Blu-ray discs, and a host of brand new extras.
They are:
- Both director’s cut and theatrical version of the movie
- New Andre Labbouze, technical director – 10 min
- New Thierry Arbogast, cinematographer – 20 min
- New Sylvie Landra, film editor – 30 min
- New Alain Kruger, journalist – 15 min
