Total Recall: 20th Anniversary Special Edition - Blu-ray Forum

uk-guy · 02-26-2010, 12:31 PM

up for pre-order on 14/06/10 @play.com £17.99

i wonder what's so special about this version

reworked video?
more extras?
steelbook?

hopefully all of the above.

I'd like to believe that they've used a new master or have reworked the transfer, but I supect it will be nothing a rehashed set of extras and fancy packaging. If that is the case Play's price of £17.99 doesn't look too clever...

...and just noticed it has a DD 5.1, which can't be right.

HotRats · 02-27-2010, 09:25 AM

Much as I'd love to see the unrated cut I suspect it'll just have the extras bumped up to those of the double disc DVD

stargazeruk · 02-27-2010, 09:07 PM

I will wait and see if any information on a new master pops up.

An example of two titles from the same studio:
Stargate 15th Anniversary got a new master.
Terminator 2 skynet edition did not get a new master just had the old one tweaked.

It can go either way realy.

This is intriguing;

Looks like they're releasing a steelbook version of Total Recall in Germany in June, which also purports to be remastered. We can only hope that the edition in Play.com has the same transfer...

uk-guy · 03-06-2010, 09:57 AM

the steelbook alone wouldn't prompt me to buy it but. I am really hoping for a new master but if both were to happen then I am sold and its mine

Borgschlumpf · 03-06-2010, 12:30 PM

germany will get this release too. According to bluray-disc.de it got a new transfer and 5000 limited Steelbooks to Germany. If the Uk will get a Steel too we don't know yet.

Believe me, the current Optimum release of Total Recall looks excellent. And you can get it for about 6 or 7 pounds. There is no need to shell out all that money for this new version.

Clark Kent · 04-17-2010, 12:58 AM

Even if the new edition is remastered, it's doubtful they spent a large amount of money on the film. That Optimum Blu-ray is pretty good.

Sky_Captain · 04-17-2010, 01:26 PM

I don't know how I feel about this new edition. Will they just port across the previous master,(which looks good), and slap the DVD extras on there, or will they attempt to re-master it? Colour me cautious.

Indeed it does look good, I have seen it before. I don't mind waiting a bit longer to see what this new edition has though.. the first release should stay at a low price untill then.

Socko · 04-17-2010, 05:10 PM

RoboCop got a longer version
Basic Instinct had a longer version (in Europe)
Showgirls got extended
Even Hollow Man got a longer version

I want the same treatment with Total Recall (and more extras)

Rob Hunter · 04-19-2010, 09:52 AM

think ill hold off and wait for this

ChrisDilke · 04-27-2010, 09:14 AM

No longer available to order from Amazon or Play now!

GunZenBomZ · 06-14-2010, 12:38 PM

£11.99 max for all blurays, from me now on. We have to make a stand now.

Hey dudes. Total Recall's new blu-ray looks excellent. That's how Predator new BD should have looked.
