Also included would be a movie poster, a reprint of the original Marvel adaptation, and one of the new studio series figures (maybe a character that hasn't been released yet). Bundle that all together, and that would be an awesome collector's package.

I know that's a pipe dream but I think it could be done, I remember on the DVD of Highlander: End Game they had a cut of the film with all the deleted scenes, even the ones that technically weren't finished. Obviously, the deleted scenes should be separate as well so we can have the option of watching the movie as it was released originally. I'd really like to see a real comprehensive making-of documentary that features early sketches, drafts of the film, and interviews with the writers and creators that really goes into the nuts and bolts of the film. Just talking about why certain characters weren't featured would make this gold. Yes, I know the answers, but it still would be nice to see. If possible maybe they could do a network airing as they did back in the day for GI Joe: The Movie, that would be fun to see and a throwback to the days when movies were shown on broadcast television. Other than that maybe an art book or something would be nice too.

IIRC The blurring of Hot Rod and Daniel by the lake was caused when then they remastered it, and another remaster isn't going to fix the problem. I'm not sure I would want to see a film like TF:TM in 4K due to getting a damn headache from the how visually bright the movie is and I think in 4K they would have to put a photo-sensitive warning because that kind of bright flashing can cause seizures and speaking as some one who is photosensitive and suffers from seizure like trembles trust me when I say that is no fun.
The 2K remaster looks and sounds great if they continue this 4K upscale to every classic movie some are going so bright that I would not be surprised if they caused eye damage. And it doesn't need to be a classic movies more recent movies I already can't stand to watch Speed Racer because it's so damn bright that gives me a damn headache which is a shame I like the Warchoski's other films and it sucks that I can't watch this one without getting a migraine.
As far animated storyboards of deleted scenes, behind the scenes interviews/documentaries, audio commentaries, trailers, and TV spots, that has been done in earlier DVD and Blu-Ray releases. I'm not sure what else can be said, other than to gather all of that stuff and re-release it all in one package.
Now I think the music video of "The Touch" was released on an earlier release, but I wouldn't mind seeing those intros and epilogues to TF:TM with the kid and the puppet of Powermaster Optimus Prime and the final one ends with the music video of "The Touch" (the show came up of short and they needed a time killer) and that would be nice. I don't know about broadcasting it unless you're talking about YouTube or Twitch I don't see any other platform or network being able to that right.

I have to say though, while this is my favorite movie of all time, we don't need to celebrate every 5 years at this point. Every 10 would be fine, then diminish that again after 50, then after that, it won't matter because we'll be old af.

I agree, after 40 they really don't need to do anything until 50, then like you said we'll be old and most of us probably dead.

It seems like every major franchise that lasts past 10 years has to celebrate its existence every 5 years. Even years like 35 and 45 seem to get some kind of celebration.

I don't have a SHDTV, or a 4K player, so as of yet I do not own any 4K physical media, this would be my first, but IMHO, the Movie itself would have to come with some significant bonus features for me to purchase this film for the...(4 VHS, 2 DVD, 1 BRD)... 7th time , otherwise I am perfectly satisfied with the 30th anniversary BRD.

It's the same company that produced the 30th anniversary BRD (and there was a steelbook for that one also, although it is OOP). I believe that site is the only one that will have the 4K Steelbook for pre-order, though you may find it on other sites. It is available for pre-order starting Monday May 24th (Comes with a lithograph of the packaging art).
Apparently the standard 4K/BRD combo will be available for pre-order at a later date, not specifically stated this morning just "later this summer"

The Full Frame disc is 1080p that is on a Blu-ray Disc. The Widescreen version is 4k and is on a 4K UHD disc. The 4K disc will not play in a Blu-ray player.
Jedi Kermit wrote:The Daniel and Hot Rod blurring shot has been there since the beginning. It was even present on the F.H.E. (Family Home Entertainment) VHS which was the original home video release. To correctly fix this Shout! Factory or Hasbro would have to have film elements earlier in the life cycle than what was used in the 30th anniversary release. Not to say this can't happen, but it would even surprise me if that was corrected. Overall this new release will be the best this movie has ever looked.
Those are the ones I have. I remember getting the clamshell version along with the GI Joe movie (also in clamshell) just so I have a copy in case something happens to the others. Imagine my surprise when Spike said that line. I was too young to see the movie in theaters, and I had no idea about that word being uttered, as it wasn't on the VHS versions I had until then.o.supreme wrote:1.
