Almost Famous coming to 4K disc with both cuts

Heading to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray in July is Cameron Crowe’s Oscar-winning Almost Famous – more details right this way. One of writer/director Cameron Crowe’s most-loved movies is Almost Famous, a film that celebrates its 21^st birthday this very year. Starring Kate Hudson, Billy Crudup, Frances McDormand, Anna Paquin and Philip Seymour Hoffman, it also gives a lead role to young Patrick Fugit, as a 15-year old who makes his first proper venture into the world of rock and roll. Set in 1973, the movie won Crowe a Best Original Screenplay Oscar, and it subsequently enjoyed a longer ‘bootleg’ cut on disc too. Now, both the original cinematic version and that longer cut will be making their Ultra HD 4K Blu-ray debut. Almost Famous arrives on the 4K disc format on July 12^th, and you can find more information out about its release right here (and order a copy too). As well as existing extras being carried across, the new release also comes with a filmmaker focus featurette, with Crowe looking back on the movie. It’s available to order now. — Thank you for visiting! If you’d like to support our attempts to make a non-clickbaity movie website: Follow Film Stories on Twitter here, and on Facebook here.
