Are there any plans to color correct the uncleaned scans and put out a grindhouse release at at least 1080p?
At this point, even just color correcting a whole reel is a huge undertaking. Assembling a full cut of the film from dozens of Hard drives and GOUT syncing it would also be a lot of work, requiring additional disk space that I just don’t have at the moment.
Let’s wait and see how Mike Verta’s pitch at Disney goes (if he ever gets in the building to deliver it). If he succeeds, then this whole project becomes unnecessary. At that point, a grindhouse version would be the way to go. In the meantime I can assemble the Grindhouse version in parallel to the cleaned up version which will be considerably easier.
