What does the blu-ray set have to offer?
Time

What does to the Blu-Ray set has to offer according to ThiefCobbler4ever:

-The 6 films in their DVD Versions. No alterations, no changes, no nothing.

-However, color correction (even though I have no problem with the transfers we have now) could be applied and the lightsabers fixed.

-Transfer quality looking better, sharper, and highest in quality, it will blow the DVD transfers away.

-Extras from all DVD releases, Laserdisc releases, VHS releases and anywhere else. Every last one.

-The deleted scenes from ANH (that we seen time after time) brilliantly restored

-Classic documentaries finally making the official digital debut.

-New extras can't hurt either.

-Hopefully that some of the money we paid goes to do a proper and tender, loving, caring restoration to the theatrical versions of the OT (and maybe the PT).

-Also the possibility of bringing the Ewok Adventures and the Clone Wars Micro-Series to Blu-Ray individually. after the Saga release.

ThiefCobbler4ever's (New and Improved) Reconstructed Trailer Thread
Time

I decided to reopen the contest and move it here. I want to thank Ziggy Stardust for this, he really made me feel better about this. :)

Anyway, as you know, the object of this contest is to reconstruct a trailer. Here are the rules.

1. Pick a movie, any movie! It can be a movie you love, or a movie's trailer you think is in dire need of restoration.

2. Use the best DVD, Blu-Ray, or any other sources for your reconstructed trailer available.

3. The trailer for your selected movie can be any trailer you want: Ones we all know and love, rare ones, etc.

4. Do the best you can with your reconstructed trailer (matching it frame-by-frame for example)

5. Keep the trailer you're reconstructing with the original audio.

6. Anything that is exclusive to the trailer you're working on and can't find any good sources for it, then keep it as is and if you want, upscale the quality. 

I'll give you some examples (NOTE: I did NOT make these):

Contest begins right now and ends on May 1st. I'll pick the winner(s) after the deadline and announce the winner(s) in a few days or so after May 1st.

 

Now, we already have to contestants so far; AvP for his reconstructed trailer for the Krays:

And taas007 for his reconstructed trailer for Resevoir Dogs:

Good luck and have fun! :)

 

UPDATE 5/20/11: I have decided to make this thread for showcasing reconstructed trailers and/or TV Spots. There is no longer a contest, which means no deadline, which means you have all the time in the world! :)
