I just got the BD box and after researching it’s the audio that is in need of fixing. From the Last LD on a modernized 5.1 mix is used with centralized dialogue and doesn’t compare to the big bombastic Oscar winning 70mm mix. The original has directional dialogue panning and the remix has none. Some have said the original WS LD has the original audio in DPL so I’ll have to get it and give it a go.
Necroposting and quoting.
I have the BD double feature of BEN-HUR (1959) with The Ten Commandments (Just the film discs, none of the bonus features). Wondering if the 1925 version has ever been shown in HD at all and has been recorded. The third disc with the set only has the movie in SD format though.
Would be a nice preservation project.
