I’ve checked out a number of the cast members, and they’ve seemed to have moved on with careers.
A quick list for those who may be interested:
Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Gary Oldman, Brad Pitt, Christopher Walken, Bronson Pinchot, Samuel L. Jackson, Conchata Ferrell and James Gandolfini. At least a few recognized names.
Most important thing that I can say is that this appears to be a new scan from Arrow from the original negative. It’s being touted as a restoration, but most everything these days is.
Both the theatrical cut as well as the Director’s Cut are included with branching, along with a ton of terrific extras – alternate ending, new interviews, etc.
I’d discuss the packaging, but I’ve not seen it. Is there a great, collectible slipcover? Not a clue.
Arrow goes a wonderful job with their releases, very much in the Criterion mode, and True Romance is a great example.
For lovers of true organic grain, it’s all there.
Color is magnificent, along with black level, shadow detail, etc. And very few age-related artifacts showing through.
A wonderful film, with a great reputation, brought to 4k with class by Arrow.
Have I mentioned beautifully original organic grain?
