Directed by: Terrence Malick
Featuring: Colin Farrell, Q’orianka Kilcher, Christopher Plummer, Christian Bale, August Schellenberg, Wes Studi, David Thewlis, Noah Taylor, Ben Chaplin, John Savage, Jonathan Pryce
This singular vision of early seventeenth-century America from Terrence Malick is a work of astounding elemental beauty, a poetic meditation on nature, violence, love, and civilization. It reimagines the apocryphal story of the meeting of British explorer John Smith (Colin Farrell) and Powhatan native Pocahontas (Q’orianka Kilcher, in a revelatory performance) as a romantic idyll between spiritual equals, then follows Pocahontas through her marriage to John Rolfe (Christian Bale) and her life in England. With art director Jack Fisk’s raw re-creation of the Jamestown colony, Emmanuel Lubezki’s marvelous, naturally lit cinematography, and James Horner’s soaring musical score, The New World is a film of uncommon power and technical splendor, one that shows Malick at the height of his visual and philosophical powers.

Release Notes on Restoration
The New World
The New World: The Extended Cut is presented in its original aspect ratio of 2.35:1. Black bars at the top and bottom of the screen are normal for this format. This new digital transfer was created in 4K resolution at 16-bit color depth on a Northlight 2 film scanner from the 35mm original camera negative, a 35mm interpositive, and the 65mm original camera negative for select shots. The 35mm negative had been cut in 2005 to create the theatrical version, so it could not be used for the entirety of the extended version. The three film elements were edited together under the supervision of film editor Mark Yoshikawa. Optical, fades, and dissolves were re-created. Certain shots contained burned-in subtitles, which the filmmakers requested be left as is. Thousands of instances of dirt, debris, chemical stains, and splices were removed using MTI Film’s DRS, while Digital Vision’s Phoenix was used for small dirt.
The 5.1 surround soundtrack for the extended cut was remastered by Joel Dougherty at Warner Bros. Studios.
