The 25th Anniversary 4K SteelBook marks the first time director Kinji Fukasaku‘s 2000 action film has been released on 4K. The collection includes both the original and director’s cut of the film, new and previously-released special features, and SteelBook art by Oliver Barrett. While not the first film to offer a dystopian future in which combatants fight for the death, Battle Royale is highly regarded (despite, or possibly because of, the controversy surrounding its release that delayed it being shown in American cinemas for more than a decade).

A more faithful adaptation to the original Stephen King story than the 1987 film, albeit ignoring King’s far more tragic end which punctuated the hopelessness of a future that looks more possible with every passing day, director Edgar Wright‘s version of The Running Man casts Glen Powell as down-on-his-luck blacklisted worker Ben Richards.

Set in the distant future of 6 years ago, 1987’s The Running Man starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as Ben Richards, an escaped convict and disgraced former police officer who was arrested for refusing to open fire on an unarmed mob in a totalitarian police state run by lies, propaganda, and brutal force that looks more and more prescient every day.
