A Complete Unknown (Biography, Drama, Music)

Offering an intimate portrayal of Bob Dylan’s transformative years in the early 1960s, “A Complete Unknown” arrives on Digital Tuesday, Feb. 25, from Searchlight Pictures. The film also debuts on 4K UHD and Blu-ray Tuesday, April 1.

New York, 1961. Against the backdrop of a vibrant music scene and tumultuous cultural upheaval, an enigmatic 19-year-old from Minnesota named Bob Dylan arrives with his guitar and revolutionary talent, destined to change the course of American music. He forges intimate relationships with music icons of Greenwich Village on his meteoric rise, culminating in a groundbreaking and controversial performance that reverberates worldwide.

Timothée Chalamet (“Call Me by Your Name”) stars and sings as Bob Dylan in the electric true story behind the rise of one of the most iconic singer-songwriters in history. Directed by James Mangold (“Walk the Line”), “A Complete Unknown” captures Dylan’s evolution from a burgeoning folk artist to a cultural icon. The movie delves into his relationships with contemporaries like Woody Guthrie (Scoot McNairy, “Argo”), Joan Baez (Monica Barbaro, “FUBAR”) and Pete Seeger (Edward Norton, “American History X”), whose influence shaped Dylan’s early sound and whose reaction to his electric set at Newport became the stuff of legend.

Nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor, “A Complete Unknown” features never-before-seen bonus content on Digital, 4K UHD and Blu-ray. Viewers can watch the four-part “The Making of ‘A Complete Unknown’” that covers “The Story,” “Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan,” “The Supporting Cast” and “The Design,” as well as listen to an audio commentary by co-writer, director and producer James Mangold.

Amadeus (Biography, Drama, Music)

Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the epic historical film’s eight Academy Awards, “Amadeus” will be available for the first time digitally in 4K Ultra HD as well as on 4K UHD Blu-ray Tuesday, Feb. 25, from Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment.

Directed by two-time Academy Award winner Milos Forman (“One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”), “Amadeus” takes place in 1781 Vienna. Court composer Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham, “Mighty Aphrodite”) is maddened with envy after discovering that the divine musical gifts he desires for himself have been bestowed on the bawdy, impish Mozart (Tom Hulce, “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”) — whom he plots to destroy by any means necessary.

“Amadeus” received 11 Academy Award nominations and won eight Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor in a Leading Role, Best Screenplay based on Material from Another Medium, Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup and Best Sound. In 2019, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.”

The restoration and mastering of the “Amadeus” original theatrical cut was completed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences with the participation of Paul Zaentz. Bonus features on the 4K release include the all-new featurette “’Amadeus’: The Making of a Masterpiece” that celebrates 40 years of the film and the previously released documentary, “The Making of ‘Amadeus.’”

Assemble your family and friends to celebrate the epic adventure of Disney’s “Mufasa: The Lion King,” now available to own on Digital. The film also arrives on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD Tuesday, April 1.

Exploring the unlikely rise of the beloved king of the Pride Lands, “Mufasa: The Lion King” enlists Rafiki (voiced by John Kani, “Black Panther”) to relay the legend of Mufasa to young lion cub Kiara (voiced by Blue Ivy Carter, “The Laundrette”), daughter of Simba (voiced by Donald Glover, “Atlanta”) and Nala (voiced by Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, “Dreamgirls”), with Timon (voiced by Billy Eichner, “Bros”) and Pumbaa (voiced by Seth Rogen, “Knocked Up”) lending their signature schtick. Told in flashbacks, the story introduces Mufasa (voiced by Braelyn Rankins, “Take Note,” and Aaron Pierre, “The Underground Railroad”) as an orphaned cub, lost and alone until he meets a sympathetic lion named Taka (voiced by Theo Somolu, “Baggio: The Divine Ponytail,” and Kelvin Harrison Jr., “Elvis”) — the heir to a royal bloodline. The chance meeting sets in motion an expansive journey of an extraordinary group of misfits searching for their destiny. Their bonds will be tested as they work together to evade a threatening and deadly foe.

Viewers can enjoy plenty of exclusive bonus content on the Digital, 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray releases, including a full-length sing-along version of the film, four deleted scenes (“Who’s the Mole Rat?,” “What Do You Feel in There?,” “Have Faith in Her” and “Taka’s Dream”), 2 minutes of recording booth outtakes, a music video for “I Always Wanted a Brother,” six song selections (“Milele [First Rain],” “I Always Wanted a Brother,” “Bye Bye,” “We Go Together,” “Tell Me It’s You” and “Brother Betrayed”) and four featurettes.
