Director Milos Forman’s Ragtime is celebrating its 40th anniversary on November 20, 1981. That makes November 16th, 2021 a perfect release date for Ragtime to join the Paramount Presents Blu-ray Collection.
The Paramount Presents Ragtime Blu-ray will feature a newly remastered theatrical version from a 4K film transfer. Other Paramount Presents line perks such as collectible packaging with a foldout image of the film’s theatrical poster and an interior spread with key movie moments are also included.
A second disc will include the Director’s Cut Workprint version of the film. This version has not been remastered so it should look suitably raw.
Bonus features rounding out the first include the following.
- NEW Deleted and Extended Scenes
- NEW Ragtime Revisited: A Conversation with Larry Karaszewski and screenwriter Michael Weller on Ragtime
- Commentary by director Milos Forman and executive producer Michael Hausman
- Deleted Scenes
