Nope, not this time...
Why? I will tell you why - to tie in with Basic Instinct 2 which I predict will be the final nail in Ms. Stone's career coffin.
Doesn't offer much over the previous release...
I havw it on VHS. I will take a pass on this
the existing special edition can be found in most $5 boxes, and it looks pretty much the same!
HELLO PARAMOUNT! This would be an ideal day to release "Sliver" on dvd with Sharon Stone for the 1st time. HELLO PARAMOUNT!
Blimey....More multiple releases.
Ugh...yet another "Ultimate Edition" but with no Ice Pick? I think not.
And yes...thank you BB for bringing up the fact that still Sliver has not been released on DVD. What's up with that? I actually wrote them a letter about it a month or so ago.

Yes, now this is something that should be released, preferably the unrated version.

Sliver (unrated)is planned for the 3-28-2006 according to dvdempire.com
I actually never saw this but I am told that I should for some nice eye candy and a cool mystery.
It is a good movie, but I think I should opt for the WalMart bargain bin DVD over the new release.
Wilfredo, thanks for the info on the Sliver UR dvd. I haven't seen any mention of this anywhere yet, I hope it's true. I am glad they are not complete idiots over there at Paramount afterall, at least not for this.
Next, I'm sure: TOTAL RECALL UE...
That Director's Cut tag makes me chuckle when everywhere else only got the Director's Cut in the first place so no need for the tag ;-D
I'll stick with the version I have...
The double-dip is needless, but answer me this: why is the sequel, "Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction", being released by Sony? Aren't the movie rights owned by Lions Gate?
who owns the rights
MGM owned the rights to a sequel to Basic Instint! When SONY BOUGHT MGM they got the right to Basic Instint. Home vIDEO RIGHT TO CARLCO movies were sold to LIVE Entertwainment which in turn was bought by Lions Gate.
Here is something to think about! If Sharon Stone uncrosses her legs again in the sequel the auidence will have to wear a HARD HAT
I'll definitely have to see this someday.

Ouch...This was the movie to see when I was like 10 (among 10 year old boys anyway). Saw it again recently and was disappointed.

Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction has received one of the most restrictive ratings for U.S. cinemas, which bans anyone under 17 from seeing the film. That means that lots of college-aged kids won’t be able to take a peek at one of Hollywood’s sexiest stars doing what she does best

What college do you go to? Most people aren't seventeen? That is quite unusual, indeed. Are you sure you're not really in high school? Try checking the front of the building the next time you walk in and tell me what it says. If you can't figure it out, I'll find out for you.

Was wondering when it was coming out, thank you for the information!

The edition in the bargain bins is Rated "R" or I would have bought it already. I had wanted to buy the cool Unrated Director's Cut version with the neat packaging and ice pick pen but before I had the chance it was taken off shelves and not sold anymore. I do want to buy the movie though, and don't want the "R" version. I think I will have to find a copy of the one with the ice pick pen from a seller on Amazon or Half.com or something. The only thing is that I won't get some of the extras on the older edition, like the audio commentary with Sharon Stone, which I've heard is a good one, and trailers (I love trailers, and love Lions Gate, so if they had some good trailers for upcoming releases of theirs it would be a nice bonus).
Anyway, I thought the movie rocked (and I'm a gay male, not a straight one who just enjoyed it because of all of the female nudity) and will be buying it one way or another, whether it's the version with the ice pick pen or this newer release. I also liked Sliver a lot (though Basic Instinct is better).

What's this? No egotiscal poisen red banner shrieking "PARAMOUNT COLLECTION" at the top? Why, how can it be?

Well, that could actually do with a re-release given that the versions released previously were all of the cut U.S. r-rated version, rather than of the full uncut international version.

I bought the old version for 5.50 at Wal-Mart and I'm happy with it.
