Arriving March 25th from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, The King of Comedy gets the 30th anniversary treatment and comes loaded with bonus material for its new Blu-ray edition.
Academy Award winner Robert De Niro, Jerry Lewis and Sandra Bernhard give mesmerizing performances in this “chilling black comedy” (TV Guide’s Movie Guide) that explores the painfully high and often hilarious price of fame.
Desperate to be a star, struggling stand-up comedian Rupert Pupkin (De Niro) enlists the aid of his fanatical friend Masha (Bernhard) to kidnap talk show host Jerry Langford (Lewis). The ransom? A guest spot for Pupkin. The results? Outrageous! The King of Comedy stands as Scorsese’s prophetic masterpiece which confronts a celebrity culture that “looks more disturbingly current with each passing year” (Lucia Bozzola, All Movie Guide).
Special Features include:
Tribeca Film Festival: A Conversation with Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, and Jerry Lewis
A Shot to the Top: The Making of The King of Comedy
Deleted And Extended Scenes
