It’s going to be interesting to see just what film elements they end up using as their starting point when the OOT is inevitably restored in the next several years.
And imagine the huge “we told you so” if they wait just a little too long and the original film elements fall apart when they finally touch them.
They have the separation masters, they may even have a pristine interpositive (first generation copy). And film stock from the seventies doesn’t turn to dust, even after 40 years.
