Mission: to restore John Carpenter's Escape from New York widest image, plus original soundtrack and commentary.

Subtitles sources: to reflect soundtracks.



Project info:

Personally, "Escape from New York" is one of my favourite movies; after I discovered that the EU Blu-ray is really bad, and the US Blu-ray is very dark, I began to search a better alternative; I found that the HDTV version broadcasted by HDNet is maybe the best compromise. The HDTV will be used as video source.

Plus, the Collector's Edition laserdisc will be used to add the original soundtrack and the commentary.
