i meant to day it could be legacy not saying it is legacy
Legacy is great, but I’d be hoping for something sourced from better materials than release prints.
Anyway, no-one at Lucasfilm seems interested in the OUT, the merger with Fox would solve some distribution problems, but it doesn’t give any real change to the motivation of Disney/Lucasfilm to embark on an OUT restoration.
I hope that changes, but there seems zero interest within Disney to do it.
if they’d only hire you + mike + rob + dre + ohteedee + harmy to work with scans of negatives to rebuild the original films in 4k frame by frame, shot by shot, reel by reel…
the community will probably have to use whatever the next revamped/restored version they release to retail as a source for the next generation of preservation projects.
On top of that, if they got criterion involved, the preservation would be just 👌👌👌 flawless
