Fans of the 2001 Nicole Kidman film The Others will soon be able to watch the spooky ghost movie in 4K for the first time following a restoration.
The film has been “restored” two decades after its initial release by distributor StudioCanal UK, ahead of the movie’s Blu-Ray release in October.
Written and directed by Chilean-Spanish filmmaker Alejandro Amenábar, The Others was lauded by critics in 2001 as an effective psychological horror without the gore of films like Scream and The Sixth Sense.In a statement, Studio Canal said they are “thrilled to announce a special release and 4K restoration of one of the most critically acclaimed horror films of the 21st Century, Alejandro Amenábar's The Others.
The original 35mm negative was scanned in 4K, and the restoration was supervised by Amenábar himself. The restoration of The Others comes as Kidman’s American Film Institute Lifetime Achievement award ceremony has been postponed due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA union strikes.
