From the Press Release
From Len Wiseman, director of the Underworld saga, and Neal H. Moritz, the producer of The Fast and the Furious series, comes the visionary, new action thriller TOTAL RECALL, available December 18th as a 3-Disc Blu-ray™/DVD Combo Pack, 2-Disc Blu-ray, and DVD, all with UltraViolet™ from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Colin Farrell (Horrible Bosses), Kate Beckinsale (Underworld series) and Jessica Biel (The A-Team) star in this action-packed thrill ride. The film co-stars three-time Emmy Award® winner Bryan Cranston (TV’s “Breaking Bad”) and Golden Globe® winner Bill Nighy (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1), and is based on a short story by Philip K. Dick, whose work inspired sci-fi classics such as Blade Runner and Minority Report.
The Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack comes with three discs:
• Disc one is a Blu-ray that includes the theatrical feature film and an all-new Extended Director’s Cut, which includes 20 minutes of footage not shown in theaters, featuring new storylines and an alternate ending, as well as commentary by director Len Wiseman. Disc one also comes with “Total Recall Insight Mode,” allowing viewers to watch the film while engaging with scene-specific behind-the-scenes insights.
• Disc two is a Blu-ray with a gag reel and multiple featurettes. “Science Fiction vs. Science Fact” provides a closer look at the futuristic moments in the film through the lens of a technology expert. “Designing the Fall” gives a behind-the-scenes look at set production. Blu-ray exclusive featurettes include “Stepping into Recall,” diving into pre-visualization sequences of the intense fight and chase scenes, and seven “Total Action” featurettes, breaking down key action sequences and stunts. Also included on disc two is a playable game demo of “God of War™: Ascension”, the newest installment of the multi-million selling God of War® franchise from Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios (SCE WWS) Santa Monica Studio, available only for the PlayStation®3 (PS3™) computer entertainment system. This demo is available exclusively to the TOTAL RECALL Blu-ray for a limited time (Dec. 18 through Jan. 8), prior to its March 12, 2013 release.
