press release
soldier [limited edition]
Sergeant Todd 3465 is a veteran
in a long line of soldiers raised from birth
to become ruthless and remorseless killing machines.
On April 28, the science fiction action-filled Soldier touches down for a world premiere on 4K UHD. What happens when the ultimate army fighter is harshly retired? The limited edition release features a brand new 4K restoration by Arrow Films approved by director Paul W.S. Anderson, hours of special features, and newly commissioned extras.
Sergeant Todd (Kurt Russell, Big Trouble In Little China) was raised from birth to be a merciless, emotionless killing machine for the military. The decorated soldier fought around the world and galaxy for decades, only to face his biggest battle at home. A unit of genetically engineered super soldiers arrives at Todd’s headquarters. Captain Church (Gary Busey, Point Break) pits Todd and his best men against the new breed, including Caine (Jason Scott Lee, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story) and led by Colonel Mekum (Jason Isaacs, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets). The brutal competition doesn’t end well for the veterans. Todd’s busted-up body is dropped on a waste disposal planet, where he finds a group of peaceful scavengers living among the scrap heaps who teach him what it’s like to be social and act human. The inner growth comes to an abrupt end when Todd’s old captain drops by so the new troops can engage in live target practice. Soldier is filled with exciting stunts scenes from action impresario Paul W.S. Anderson (Mortal Kombat & Resident Evil). The movie also stars Connie Nielsen (Gladiator), Sean Pertwee (Dog Soldiers), Michael Chiklis (The Shield), and Wyatt Russell (Monarch: Legacy of Monsters).
Special features include a 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentations in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible); original DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio and stereo audio; optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing; an archival audio commentary by director Paul W.S. Anderson, actor Jason Isaacs and others; brand new interviews with actor James Black and others; a brand new behind-the-scenes look at how the film’s special effects were created with visual effects supervisor Craig Barron and others; a brand new retrospective on the film; the archival electronic press kit; on-set interviews with cast and crew; trailers; and a collectors’ booklet.
