Ewan McGregor in Tim Burton’s BIG FISH Available on 4K ULTRA HD May 4th

“There are some fish that cannot be caught. It’s not that they are faster or stronger than other fish, they’re just touched by something extra.”

Tim Burton’s BIG FISH will be available on 4K ULTRA HD May 4th. Throughout his life Edward Bloom (Ewan McGregor) has always been a man of big appetites, enormous passions and tall tales. In his later years, portrayed by five-time Best Actor Oscar nominee Albert Finney (Best Actor in a Supporting Role, Erin Brockovich, 2000), he remains a huge mystery to his son, William (Billy Crudup). Now, to get to know the real man, Will begins piecing together a true picture of his father from flashbacks of his amazing adventures in this marvel of a movie.
