Warner Bros. are looking to bring three Clint Eastwood classics to the home 4K Ultra HD format later this year. The films are Dirty Harry, The Outlaw Josey Wales and Pale Rider. All of them will be released for the first time on 4K Ultra HD and SteelBook from 28th April, with Dirty Harry hitting on 19th May. This is the version that played at this year’s Berlinale.
2021 marked the 50th year of Clint Eastwood’s partnership with Warner Bros., which began in 1971 with the release of Dirty Harry and that film has a loaded 4K Ultra HD disc, all of the info for which we have below.
In Dirty Harry, Clint Eastwood stars as no-holds-barred San Francisco cop Dirty Harry Callahan in this action thriller that began an action franchise. When detective Harry Callahan is assigned to pay extortion money to a serial murderer, the payoff goes wrong. Now with the life of a 14-year-old girl at stake, Callahan refuses to allow anything–includ ing the law–to keep him from stopping the killer.
Released in 1976, The Outlaw Josey Wales sees Clint Eastwood star in and direct a fast-paced Western about the fight for vengeance by a Missouri farmer whose family is murdered in the last days of the United States’ Civil War.
The film is directed by Clint Eastwood. The screenplay is by Phil Kaufman and Sonia Chernus and is based on the novel “Gone to Texas” by Forrest Carter. The film is produced by Robert Daley. Chief Dan George, Sondra Locke, Bill McKinney, and John Vernon make up the main cast.
In 1985 Eastwood returned to the western genre with a vengeance with Pale Rider which became the highest grossing western of that decade. Eastwood, who also directed the hit film, plays a nameless stranger who rides into a small California gold rush town (and becomes known as the “Preacher”) where he finds himself in the middle of a feud between a mining syndicate and a group of independent prospectors.
The film is produced and directed by Clint Eastwood and written by Michael Butler and Dennis Shryack. Eastwood stars alongside Michael Moriarty, Carrie Snodgress, Christopher Penn, Richard Dysart, Sydney Penny, Richard Kiel, Doug McGrath, and John Russell.
