Not sure what to make of this. Bill Hunt posted another article and does not believe it is happening, based on what Disney’s Director of Restoration had to say at a recent event.

We pretty much already knew that about the original negatives, and I dont think those comments rule out an OOT release anyway as Bill seems to think. Seems like they would just scan all the cut elements separately and make a digital edit? But we really need more info here - what exactly the question was and how this Disney guy responded. He obviously wouldnt be able to give anything away if there was a release planned so he may have just been trying to answer like a politician without lying. Who knows. This is beyond frustrating…
