Umbrella Entertainnment has announced a Super Mario Bros. movie 30th anniversary 4K remaster, the first ultra-high definition home release for the cult classic movie.
While a 30th anniversary 4K screening just happened in Japanese theaters, this is the first 4K remaster home release, and is based on a brand new scan of the original negatives from the film.
The new Super Mario Bros. movie 4K remaster comes via Umbrella Entertainment, and is available in both standard (pictured above) and a big box Collector’s Edition (pictured below) on their online store.
Released back in 1993, the Super Mario Bros. movie was the first live-action film based on a video game. It was a critical and commercial flop and has been frequently listed as one of the worst movies ever made, but it gained a cult following over the years.
Here’s a rundown on everything included in each version, plus a new trailer:
Buckle up and hang on tight – the discovery of a parallel universe launches you into the adventure of a lifetime! Mario and Luigi, two wacky plumbers, undertake a daring quest to save a princess in “Dinohattan” – a hidden world where the inhabitants evolved from dinosaurs! Mario (Bob Hoskins – WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT) and Luigi (John Leguizamo, MOULIN ROUGE!) face deadly challenges from a diabolical lizard king (Dennis Hopper – APOCALYPSE NOW) and must battle giant reptilian goombas, outwit misfit thugs, and undermine a sinister scheme to take over the world!
