I guess unless we personally scan the original negatives, we’ll never know how the movie actually looks.

Keep in mind that the original camera negatives don’t hold any color timing. Those have all the information captured by the camera on set, and would most likely vary in color based on film stock differences between different parts of production. If I remember correctly, color timing is first applied to the interpositve (a positive copy of the finished negative). I believe color separation masters are also color timed.

Logically, the original look of the film can be determined by comparing multiple unfaded and/or low fade theatrical prints. Comparing an unfaded interpositive with the theatrical prints would make the situation better as well. The original negative shouldn’t really factor in when it comes to finding the original color and look of the film.

If I may ask one last question: is 4K83 for all intents and purposes a finished product or are there future updates expected? My understanding is Harmy 3.0 will be the final version of Despecialized and 4K77 is also being updated to 2.0 in the future.

What they said.

I don’t think there are any updates to 4K83 being planned right now, but you can never say something like this is truly finished.
