I think it would be a good idea to consult the director just as a general guidance for this project. I mean heck, I think he’d be down for a fan remaster if no big company wants to handle it! That said, I wouldn’t take his word as gospel, as we all know how directors can screw up their own films by revising them (Star Wars and LoTR for instance). But if we could get an idea of the vision for how it would be screened, and how the color grading is meant to be, it could be a big help for a start.
That’s why Jerry is also bringing the movie’s art director Brian McEntee in on the project.
Wait, are they actually gonna help us with this restoration?
That’s amazing!
