I’m really curious as to where they will get the original colors from 1977, 1980 and 1983 and to know they are accurate.
What references do they have. I’m somewhat skeptical because Lowry messed them up twice.
I don’t think Lowry “messed them up”. The DVDs and BDs almost certainly looked as George wanted them.
He just really loves magenta.
Which is odd, considering he oversaw and approved the gorgeous 1997 SE color grade lol…
The original negative was so faded that when it came to making the IP that would be the basis of the SE, they couldn’t afford to “experiment” with the colors that could be achieved with analog color correction; it was either have color again or never finish and end up completely wearing out the OCN until it was too late. With digital technology, George had the luxury of doing it, but for the 97 SE they had to be sure with what they had.
