Once Upon a Time in the West 4K, first image

Sergio Leone's cult western Once Upon a Time in the West, starring Claudia Cardinale, Henry Fonda, Jason Robards and Charles Bronson, will be released in 4K HDR Dolby Vision from a brand new restored version. After the previously revealed release date, here is the French visual.

Considered one of the greatest westerns ever made and perhaps even Sergio Leone's greatest film, Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) is set to be released in 4K HDR Dolby Vision on the 15th May in France for the very first time. The film underwent photochemical restoration via the Film Foundation supervised by Martin Scorsese from the original 35mm Techniscope negative, in partnership with the Paramount archive team and L'Immagine Ritrovata in Italy.

Other nice bonuses will be included (if identical version in the USA) including the modules An opera of violence, The wages of sin, Something to do with death, Railway: revolutionizing the West, and numerous photo galleries presenting the places of yesterday and today.
