The Australian monster icon is getting the ultimate HD treatment.

Directed by Russell Mulcahy, 1984 film Razorback centers on a vicious wild boar terrorizing the Australian outback, and we’ve just learned that it’s being given new life courtesy of Umbrella Entertainment. A brand new Blu-ray is on the way, transferred from a 4K master with all-new extras.

Cult of Monster reports that the Razorback Blu-ray is tentatively scheduled for release on November 1, and it will include a discussion featurette produced by Cinemaniacs. The new 4K scan and restoration was completed by Melbourne’s Roar Digital.

The site adds…

“Unfortunately the upcoming RAZORBACK Blu-ray release will not include the ‘grizzly’ extended shots/scenes featured on the old Aussie Roadshow Home Video VHS/Beta reinserted back into the film as those 35mm film elements are long lost however Umbrella will be including a standard definition VHS cut as a special feature!”

In the film, “Somewhere deep in the Australian outback there’s a marauding, indestructible creature that can rip a man in half and destroy a homestead in seconds. This giant freak of nature is nine hundred pounds of tusk and muscle – and it is hell bent on terrorizing the small isolated community of “Gamulla” – a town as violent and primitive as the beast that threatens it.”
