Arrow reveals details for the upcoming Red Sonja 4K Blu-ray
Fans of the 1985 sword and sorcery film Red Sonja will have to wait until after Christmas for the new 4K Blu-ray that’s been announced by Arrow Video. Blu-ray.com reports on the film getting a 4K restoration physical media release early next year.
The description reads,
“When her family is slain and her homeland destroyed by the tyrannical Queen Gedren (Sandahl Bergman, Conan the Barbarian), Sonja is chosen by the goddess Scáthach and gifted with extraordinary strength and skill in battle. Sworn to vengeance, she embarks on a perilous quest to stop Gedren from wielding a deadly talisman with the power to annihilate the world.
