MANHUNTER: THE FINAL CUT to Screen in NY for 40th Anniversary with New 4K Restoration
William Petersen and Tom Noonan star in Michael Mann's thriller, screening at Metrograph.
Michael Mann's MANHUNTER: THE FINAL CUT is set to screen in New York as part of a 40th anniversary celebration, presented alongside a new 4K restoration of the film.
The film opens at the IFC Center in New York, and in Los Angeles at TCL Chinese Theaters and Alamo Drafthouse, followed by a nationwide rollout through August and September. The screening at Metrograph is part of that New York engagement.
A retired criminal profiler (William Petersen) reluctantly returns to the FBI to help track down a serial killer of families and is forced to consult an expert — the imprisoned Dr. Hannibal Lecktor (Brian Cox in a subtly chilling performance). The third feature written and directed by Michael Mann is a gripping adaptation of the first of Thomas Harris's four novels featuring the iconic murderer, and benefits from the filmmaker's typically striking visuals as well as a top-notch supporting cast, including Tom Noonan as the hunted killer, and three-time Oscar nominee Joan Allen (The Contender, 2000) as his blind love interest.
