Lionsgate Home Entertainment have set December 8th, 2020 as the release date for Paul Verhoeven’s Total Recall to debut on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray in celebration of the film’s 30th anniversary.
Total Recall was originally released in 1990 and stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rachel Ticotin, Sharon Stone, and Michael Ironside.
You can currently pre-order Total Recall in 4K for under $23 at Amazon.
Director Paul Verhoeven supervised STUDIOCANAL on the restoration effort. Per the press release, “The restoration crew paid particularly high attention to preserving special-effects continuity, as Total Recall was one of the earliest films to use computer-generated images for special effects winning the Special Achievement Award for Visual Effects at the 1990 Academy Awards. The film was restored in 4K from a scan of the original 35mm negative and was made at Technicolor LA in tiff 16 bits format.”
