The Total Recall one is great from the very start.

Watched it with the commentary today. Not as good as the Conan commentary, but still hilarious. I liked how Arnold just loved to point out what was going on during the movie.

I'm anxiously awaiting more details about the audio options.

The most recent DVD audio just sounds terribly muffled and crappy after having listened to the glorious soundtrack over and over again. That score deserves better.

Also, are there any other details on whether this is going to have multiple versions branched on it, or if it will only have the new cut which is longer than that DVD (European theatrical?) version which, in turn, was longer than the US Theatrical cut?

I'd love both films on BD. I figured the remake would help this happen.

Mildly suspicious. Universal has no involvement in the new movie.

Digital Bits reports this WILL have the Arnold/Milius commentary, and it'll have 5.1 DTS-HD MA audio.

I'm assuming they'll have a pause in the commentary when it hits an extended moment in the film? That is if it's actually in.

They should do what Billy Bob Thornton did for the extended cut of Sling Blade. The old commentary was left in place, and BB recorded pieces of commentary for the new bits.

Roger Ebert also did that for the extended cut of Dark City.

so is the extended cut the international cut of the film? Some of the footage described over at blu-ray.com reveals that one scene in particular was cut in order for the film to secure it's R-rating.

Are you aware they released a brand new recording of the score to Conan: The Barbarian last year? It is absolutely incredible...

No. From what I recall it was the same track with additional bits tacked on.
