UPDATE 11.08.24
The whole saga is getting a 4K Filmized Remaster update, using my better experience and the V3 treatment of this process I developped and used on my recent LOTR trilogy remasters (available on this forum). What will change ? Less artificial upscale of the image, less grain reduction and more consistant film stock grain overall. The Theatrical cut of HP1 will have the correct English audio track with the alternate “Sorcerer” scenes instead of “Philosopher” scenes, so the whole theatrical cut will now be open matte. Freezing frames on HP8 will also be fixed. It will also be an opportunity to encode them all in 2160p 4:2:0 10 bits since the previous 8 bits releases caused macro-blocking issues at some point on HP 2-3-4-5-6-7.
Stay tuned for screenshots.
