Again, a person with your limited information should not be answering questions like this. The cintel scans were done in 2012 or maybe a bit later (around 2015-ish), then the cinelabs were done very recently (perhaps even last year…), then there was a photochemical restoration, then it was scanned in at 8K, and no, not just of the vitavision…

Hmm… that timeline doesn’t add up.

Lowry Digital did the 4K scans and restoration in 2011-2012 for the planned 3D theatrical release that never happened, and those scans were used for the current 4K releases in 2019-2020.

Why would they do a 6K scan immediately after they had just done a 4K scan?

Based on the leaked documents, all of the 4-perf 35mm was scanned at 6K, and the 8-perf VistaVision was scanned at 8K.

I have saved images of the documents lol you can’t gatekeep.

Again, that is an older leak, and we have received newer ones with updated information. The cintel was done for catalog reasons. And there have been further 8K scans of elements other than VistaVision. Again, you have limited incomplete information. Do you know about the Photochemical restoration? Of course you don’t…

I’m tired of listening to you. Quick question, who sent you to this forum to cause trouble? Because you don’t seem to understand that people can be more informed than you… Not to mention even newer scans done on the Laergraphics director that have surfaced.
