THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT Director’s Cut Finally Coming to Blu-ray in the U.S.!
Last year, controversial director Lars Von Trier’s The House That Jack Built starring Matt Dillon opened to – go figure – a wave of controversy. And today we’ve learned via Scream Factory over on Facebook that the film’s director’s cut will (finally!) be heading to Blu-ray here in the U.S. this February.
Special features will be announced at a later date so make sure to keep checking back with us here at Dread Central and we will pass along updates as we hear them.
The film takes place in the 1970s in five audacious episodes, where the failed architect and arch-sociopath Jack (Matt Dillon) recounts the elaborately orchestrated murders — each, as he views them, as a towering work of art — that define his “career” as a serial killer. Mixing pitch-black humor, transcendent surrealism, and renegade musings on everything from history to architecture to cinema itself, von Trier fashions a radical, blazingly personal inquiry into violence, art, and the twin acts of creation and destruction.
Written and directed by Lars von Trier from a screenplay he wrote based on a story he came up with along with Jenle Hallund, The House That Jack Built is produced by Louise Vesth and stars Matt Dillon, Bruno Ganz, Uma Thurman, Siobhan Fallon Hogan, Sofie Gråbøl, Riley Keough, and Jeremy Davies.
The House That Jack Built will be released via Scream Factory and IFC Films on Blu-ray and DVD on February 4, 2019. Are you excited to own the Director’s Cut on Blu-ray? Let us know in the comments below or on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram!
