In Wrath of the Titans, Hades has returned to complete his plan to create hell on earth. Picking up ten years after the events of Clash of the Titans, Perseus is called into action after his half-brother Ares (Édgar Ramírez, The Bourne Ultimatum) helps Hades overthrow Zeus. Perseus must now traverse the underworld to free his father and save the world. The demi-god is aided on his dangerous quest by the Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike, Gone Girl), fellow demi-god Agenor (Toby Kebbell, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) and Hephaestus (Bill Nighy, Pirates of the Caribbean). Director Jonathan Liebesman (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning) leads this fast-paced sequel filled with action and adventure.

The box sets feature an illustrated collector’s book containing new writing, double-sided fold-out posters for each film, six postcard sized art cards, and reversible sleeves for each film.

On August 27th, The Mexico Trilogy: El Mariachi, Desperado & Once Upon A Time In Mexico arrives as a Limited Edition 4K UHD + Blu-ray 4-disc box set. The set features an illustrated collector’s booklet featuring new writing, reversible sleeves for all three films, double-sided posters for each film, and a collectible poster featuring Robert Rodriguez’s original poster concept for El Mariachi.

Wunderkind Robert Rodriguez (Sin City, From Dusk Til Dawn) burst onto the scene in 1993 with his $7,000 action spectacular El Mariachi, the tale of a lowly musician (Carlos Gallardo) who is mistaken for a deadly assassin that uses his guitar case to hide an arsenal of weapons. Music, action, car chases, and a finale you won’t soon forget all swirl in this visually stunning debut of one of the masters of action cinema.

The special features on the El Mariachi Blu-ray include an audio commentary, new interviews with the director and star, a new interview on the music of the film, a featurette on the making of the film, a short film by the director, the theatrical trailer and a TV spot.

Desperado picks up where the previous story left off, with the guitar case-toting avenger (now played by Antonio Banderas, The Mask of Zorro) in search of Bucho (Joaquim de Almeida, Fast Five), the drug dealer who injured him and the woman he loved. In his blood-soaked search for vengeance, he is aided by a lovely bookstore owner (Salma Hayek, Frida) and an in-over-his-head con man (Steve Buscemi, Reservoir Dogs). Armed with a $7 million budget, the do-it-all Rodriguez created the sequel to top all sequels with his John Woo-inspired south of the border action epic.

The special features on the Desperado 4K UHD and Blu-ray editions include a new 4K restoration from the original camera negative by Sony Pictures, an audio commentary, new interviews with the director, producer, stunt coordinator, and special effects coordinator, an appreciation by Welsh filmmaker Gareth Evans (The Raid), a featurette on making the film, textless opening, and theatrical trailers.

Rodriguez concludes his epic trilogy with Once Upon A Time In Mexico, with the Mariachi (Banderas) returning to help Mexico as its democracy stands in the balance. When CIA agent Sands (Johnny Depp, Pirates of the Caribbean) hires Mariachi to kill the Army General that murdered Carolina (Salma Hayek), he never thought it would put him in the middle of a military coup and assassination of the President of Mexico. Using digital cameras, Rodriguez creates a clever, and cost-effective, epic ending to his Mexico trilogy. Featuring an all-star cast that includes Banderas, Depp, Hayek, ACADEMY AWARD® nominee Mickey Rourke, Eva Mendes, Danny Trejo, Enrique Iglesias, Cheech Marin, Rubén Blades, and quadruple ACADEMY AWARD® nominee Willem Dafoe.

The special features on the Once Upon A Time In Mexico Blu-ray edition include an audio commentary, new interviews with director and visual effects editor, deleted scenes with director’s commentary, multiple archival featurettes on all aspects of the director’s filmmaking process, a featurette showing how to cook the famous dish featured in the film, a director’s Q&A about digital photography from 2003, archival featurette on the hero’s journey through the trilogy, and theatrical trailers.

On August 27th, The Woman and Offspring is released in a Limited Edition 4K UHD two-disc set featuring an illustrated collector’s booklet featuring writing on each film, and a reversible sleeve featuring artwork for both films.

“Master of Horror” Lucky McKee (May) and cult horror author Jack Ketchum (The Girl Next Door) join forces to bring the one-of-a-kind, brutal tale of family values gone awry in The Woman. Chris (Sean Bridgers, Deadwood), a lawyer, husband, and father of three, hides a dark secret – he’s captured a feral cannibal woman (Pollyanna McIntosh, The Walking Dead) and chained her in his cellar for the purpose of “civilizing” her. His twisted and violent methods soon infect his young son and the entire family. McKee’s unblinking look at the toxicity of men left to their own devices caused a stir when it premiered at Sundance in 2011. The Woman remains one of the most searing horror films of the last twenty years.

The special features on The Woman 4K UHD edition includes a 4K restoration supervised and approved by Lucky McKee, multiple commentary tracks featuring the director, editor sound designer, the film’s star, and film critic, a feature-length making of documentary, an interview with actor, multiple featurettes on the making of the film, deleted scenes, a short film by the editor, a music video, a Frightfest discussion panel from 2011, theatrical trailers, and image galleries.

Also included in this set is director Andrew van den Houten’s 2009 adaptation of Ketchum’s prequel to The Woman, Offspring. Pollyanna McIntosh, in the role that she would later reprise in The Woman, stars as the matriarch of a feral cannibal pack that has terrorized the Northeast coast for two centuries. When the pack kidnaps the family’s baby, it becomes a race against time for the family to find the cannibal’s lair. van den Houten’s prequel is as harrowing as McKee’s sequel and as insightful.

The special features on the Offspring 4K UHD include a 4K restoration supervised and approved by Andrew van den Houten, multiple audio commentary tracks featuring the director/producer, the digital colorist, the writer, and the cinematographer, multiple interviews with the cast and crew, a restoration comparison, an audition comparison, webisodes, easter eggs, the theatrical trailer, and image gallery.
