Casino 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Steelbook Bonus Features
Fans will appreciate the extensive bonus features included in this steelbook. While these aren’t new additions and can be found on the existing Casino 4K Blu-ray, they provide a fantastic opportunity to delve deeper into the film’s making:
- Exclusive interviews with director Martin Scorsese, actors Sharon Stone, author Nicholas Pileggi, and others involved in the production.
- The History Channel documentary, History Alive: True Crime Authors – Casino, featuring insights from Nicholas Pileggi.
- A fascinating ‘Vegas and the Mob’ featurette.
- A collection of compelling deleted scenes.
Casino, directed by Martin Scorsese and adapted from Nicholas Pileggi’s book Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas, stars Robert De Niro as Sam “Ace” Rothstein. Sam, a shrewd gambling expert, is tasked with running the Tangiers Casino in Las Vegas on behalf of the infamous Chicago Outfit crime family. The film chronicles Sam’s tumultuous journey from 1973 to 1983, as he navigates the treacherous waters of mafia politics, encounters cunning con artists, and becomes the focus of persistent FBI investigations. Initially receiving more subdued reactions compared to some of Scorsese’s other works, Casino has since undergone a critical re-evaluation and is now widely regarded as one of the director’s most powerful and essential films.
Looking to expand your collection of mob classics? There are many fantastic Blu-rays available. This includes 4K Blu-ray editions of two of cinema’s greatest masterpieces, The Godfather and The Godfather Part II. You can also find the iconic Scarface in 4K. If you don’t require the 4K resolution, The Godfather Collection is available on standard Blu-ray, featuring parts I, II, and the perhaps “mostly worth watching” Part III.
Beyond the Godfather trilogy, consider adding Scarface – Gold Edition on 4K Blu-ray to your library. This 1983 film, starring Al Pacino as the titular Miami crime boss, remains a highly acclaimed entry in the crime genre. For television enthusiasts, HBO’s groundbreaking drama, The Sopranos, is an exceptional choice. This six-season series is celebrated as one of the best TV shows ever created, credited with ushering in a golden age of premium television. You can acquire The Sopranos: The Complete Series on Blu-ray or on DVD.
