This is amazing news! The Specials is one of our favorite superhero films and to see that it’s finally making it to Blu-ray is really exciting. If you have never seen it, now is the time.
La-La Land Entertainment presents a very “special” 20th Anniversary limited edition Blu-ray of The Specials, marking the film’s world premiere release in high-definition. Featuring a brand new 2K scan and restoration from the film’s interpositive, with lossless 5.1 & 2.0 audio for the first time, new and vintage bonus features, and all-new front cover art by artist Paul Shipper.
Meet The Specials! They’re the sixth (okay, maybe the seventh) greatest superhero team in the entire world. At their modest suburban headquarters, The Strobe (Thomas Haden Church), The Weevil (Rob Lowe), foul-mouthed Amok (Jamie Kennedy), Ms. Indestructible (Paget Brewster, Deadly Girl (Judy Greer), new member Nightbird (Jordan Ladd), and the rest all spend their time bickering, having extramarital affairs, and preparing for the grand unveiling of their own action figure line. But when a furious Strobe suddenly disbands the group, who will be there for the oddballs, rebels, outcasts and geeks? Before they save the world, can they save themselves?
Kelly Coffield, Michael Weatherly, Chase Masterson, and Melissa Joan Hart co-star in this hilarious cult hit from director Craig Mazin (creator of HBO’s Chernobyl) and screenwriter James Gunn.
