A24’s Talk to Me is one of the most celebrated horror movies of the year and, while the movie is still scaring up big money at the box office, it’s never too early to think about adding a copy to the ol’ media shelf. To that end, the folks at Umbrella Entertainment have unveiled a new 4K collector’s edition of the film that will be hitting shelves in October. For those with a little bit of extra cash to burn, it’s an impressive release. Most notably, it comes complete with a replica hand based on the actual hand from the movie.
Indeed, the major selling point of Umbrella’s The Talk to Me Big Collector’s Edition is that it comes with a full-size, customizable hand modeled after the movie’s big plot device. The film is also housed in a beautiful steelbook, with plenty of other goods thrown in as well. The only downside is that the release is limited to just 3,000 copies. So those who wish to get their hands on one (pun intended!) would do well to act quickly. It retails for $110. And what will you get for your money, exactly? Here’s a full breakdown:
- Full-sized customizable replica polyresin hand-created from a scan of the official movie prop
- IronLak paint marker
- Official SteelBook with 4K & Blu-ray discs
- 48 page bound book – A Collection of Behind-The-Scenes, Experiences & Art -Includes exclusive interview with RackaRacka brothers
- Custom-designed outer rigid slipcase using scans from an official prop hand
- 8 art cards
- A3 reversible poster
This is fortunately not the only option for those who want to bring a Talk to Me home. A24 also recently revealed that they will be selling a replica of the one from the film. The difference is that the one in this collector’s edition is a blank canvas to customize. The one A24 will be selling is more of a screen-accurate replica.
The film is the feature directorial debut of brothers Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou. It has been a big hit thus far, relative to its tiny budget, so much so that A24 has already announced a sequel, aptly titled Talk 2 Me. The cast includes Sophie Wilde, Miranda Otto, Alexandra Jensen, Zoe Terakes, Chris Alosio, Joe Bird and Otis Dhanji. It remains unclear if any of them will return for the sequel, but Wilde would be a safe bet. For those who might need a refresher, the synopsis for the film reads as follows:
“When a group of friends discover how to conjure spirits using an embalmed hand, they become hooked on the new thrill, until one of them goes too far and opens the door to the spirit world, forcing them to choose who to trust: the dead or the living.”
The Talk to Me Big Collector’s Edition is available for pre-order now at UmbrellaEnt.com.
