There will also be a home entertainment release which includes a 30-minute featurette from the cast and filmmakers looking back on the making of the movie.

Announcing the remastered releases, Richard said: ‘I’m really excited about this new version of the film; it’s never looked or sounded better.

‘And, although I’m slightly shocked by how old I’ve got, I loved the featurette, which is full of new thoughts and memories about the film from all the people who made it.’

Working Title, the studio behind the film, said in a statement: ‘As Working Title approaches its 40th anniversary year, it’s exciting for us to acknowledge our wonderful long-term relationship with the creative genius Richard Curtis.
