Ok now I get it: a trilogy box set with TFA-3D could only mean one thing: the prequel trilogy in glorious 3D is to be in the set… The alleged “OT restoration” John Landis was talking about might have been a 3D conversion of the 2011 SE.
Yeah, GL told Landis that LF was going to release the OT SE in 3D, and Landis, who everyone knows is a complete and utter moron, mistook the 3D SE for the OUT, but what GL really meant was the 3D PT. Thanks for clearing this all up, Malá!
You’re welcome. Or second hand info from second hand source which has never been confirmed over a year might not be the most reliable thing we can get, who knows ? A magic OOT box set can still be available for Christmas, or the next… or the next… Maybe when (just a few days ago) I stated that a box set of the OOT with TFA included was non sense and weird I… was… right ? So “3D” would be the only reason/label for a box. Maybe all theories of “JJ only watches Harmy’s version with his kids” were, like I said, totally irrelevant. Nobody knows… I still hope i’ll be surprised by LF some day. A very welcome surprise, a huge surprise nonetheless… (let’s hope Landis has provided us with solid info).
By the way the PT was already converted in 3D before GL sold LF.
On another note, if LF is indeed cooperating with 20th C. Fox for release like this, that would put all the “no way LF would release the OUT b/c Fox still owns the rights” chatter (which I always thought was bullshit), to rest.
I’ve never read anything about Fox blocking the release of the OUT, only about LF/GL blocking it. Has the Library of Congress got its archival copy since GL sold LF ? If you know something, please, share the information…
