I don’t want to sound rude, because I really like Bill Hunt, but I don’t get what authority he has regarding this. He seems convinced that it won’t happen this year because of the “news” about the negative being conformed, which I thought that we knew since 2006, but he’s also assuming that no work has been done on that.
He even explained how they could’ve restored the prints just by scanning the snippings and digitally re inserting them into the films. You’d think with that kind of knowledge, you’d be skeptical whether or not that has happened.
