I was hoping that even if this ‘early 2000s’ print was related to that Blu-Ray release, then it would be the original print which they would have scanned and digitized before adding the tweaks before outputting the final digital tweaked version. I wasn’t even aware that the tweaked version existed as a physical print. You can see in this screenshot, Rob Tapert has been digitally removed from the background. So they must have scanned an original print, tweaked it, and transferred that back to 35mm film for some reason. This is that revised version.

In the early 00’s they definitely would not have digitised the whole film for film-out. The difference between digital and photochemical should be fairly obvious as well making those scenes easy to identify which may assist you in the future if you ever scan another print.

I’d guess it’s 2010 or 2011 actually because it’s the same as the BD master. Would that make it more likely for it to be a film out?
