Tim Burton’s masterpiece, “Edward Scissorhands,” is sharper than ever thanks to a stunning new restoration, now available to own for the first time in 4K Ultra HD on Digital and as a 4K UHD Blu-ray SteelBook from 20th Century Studios.
“Edward Scissorhands” remains one of cinema’s most enchanting modern fables. A kindly inventor (Vincent Price, “House on Haunted Hill”) once created a gentle young man named Edward (Johnny Depp, the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films), but passed away before he could finish his work — leaving Edward with only metal shears for hands. Lonely until welcomed into a pastel suburbia by a kind Avon lady (Dianne Wiest, “Bullets Over Broadway”), Edward’s story still resonates today with its timeless message: to embrace what makes us different, and to discover that wonder often lies just beyond the unknown.
Lovingly restored for its 35th anniversary, every sparkle of Edward’s eyes and every glint of his blades now shines with breathtaking clarity, enhanced by Dolby Vision and accompanied by cutting-edge Dolby Atmos sound. First released in 1990, the film is now presented more vividly than ever before.
For fans and collectors of physical media, a hauntingly beautiful SteelBook encases the classic movie. The exterior features striking artwork, with Kim’s (Winona Ryder, the “Beetlejuice” movies) face reflected in shattered glass on the front and a detailed close-up of Edward’s compelling gaze on the back. The interior reveals a captivating illustration of a gothic Edward in all his leathered, studded and bladed glory. The limited-edition set includes both the 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray discs, making it a must-have for any enthusiast.
Bonus features on the release include two commentary tracks — one by director Tim Burton (“Wednesday”) and the other by composer Danny Elfman (“The Nightmare Before Christmas”) — two theatrical trailers and a 4-minute featurette where the cast and crew of the film discuss Burton’s unique, modern reinterpretation of “Frankenstein.”
