Overwhelming special effects to be rewatched in 4K digital remaster of “Total Recall”

Martian “red” that we took a risk to focus on

In fact, as director Verhoeven says, the high image quality has brought great results to this film. In particular, by unifying the color tone of Mars, the setting of the work, to red, the detail expression of the rock surfaces and colonies, which were barely visible in old prints and video masters, has been wonderfully improved.

According to Yost Vacano, who served as director of photography, after careful camera testing to bring out the red color of Mars, they decided to use Rothko's color gelatin filters for lighting. However, when it came time to purchase in bulk, gelatin filters of the same color had already been discontinued. So he went out of his way to contact Rothko and have them reproduce it for the movie. This work shows an uncompromising commitment to color.
