An epic fantasy adventure based on the timeless Arthurian legend, The Green Knight tells the story of Sir Gawain (Patel), King Arthur’s reckless and headstrong nephew, who embarks on a daring quest to confront the eponymous Green Knight, a gigantic emerald-skinned stranger and tester of men. Gawain contends with ghosts, giants, thieves, and schemers in what becomes a deeper journey to define his character and prove his worth in the eyes of his family and kingdom by facing the ultimate challenger.

Special features include:

• Boldest of Blood and Wildest of Heart: Making The Green Knight
• Practitioners of Magic: Visual Effects
• Illuminating Technique: Title Design
• Theatrical Trailer

The new film marked a significant moment for studio A24, as The Green Knight became one of its widest releases and took in some of its best box-office numbers. Keeping in tradition with other films released by the studio, it was far from being a conventional approach to the source material.

Star Dev Patel previously broke down the film’s many complexities and what about the experience most appealed to him as a performer.

“It really is a full meal of a film, in a way. As an actor, I don’t feel like I have much precision so I really have to submit myself to the process and, in this way, the whole experience of being in Ireland in the wilderness, being alone for that long, it kind of put me into a very meditative state and, for someone so hyperactive, it was quite beautiful,” Patel explained to ComicBook.com. “But it was a really nourishing journey, to go on something like this, and really feel fulfilled as a human. A big credit is to [writer/director] David [Lowery] and the way he looks at things, there are so many beautiful moments off-set. I remember one day we found a sort of nest on the floor and we were just marveling at it together for 20 minutes and talking about it. David’s that type of guy, it was just a really beautiful environment to live in for a while.”

The Green Knight hits 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD on October 12th.
