Hello,

Thanks for the reply!

We have just completed the restoration of the European Version.

A special thanks goes out to

FANFILTRATION for some of his audio restoration work. Some of his work was used. Thanks again.

PHINEASBG and Myelf have restored it using the best possible elements for the best viewing expierence.

Since no complete version ( except for the TV CUT and the German Cut partial and cut for rating version) of the european cut existed some areas have been composited such as the Fairytale Ending and another notable scene.

Testing on the DVD is complete and construction of a demonstration disc comparing where we started and where we have came is underway along with commentary on the project.

The DVD will be sent to a few good guys on the board for testing and critics views.

I have aquired the lost UK Highlander 2 soundscore as well as the Highlander scores DVD

I will include them on the proposed two disc set.

***Now the fun begins:


After inhacing and restoring the audio on the American Cut of the french DVD there was changes.

The french DVD audio was dropped due to a hissing noise, the 2.0 Stereo soundtrack from the UK release was uses and is much better.
The American Cut has been enhanced to 16:9 Wide

Also, the Renegade Cut was also cleaned using the OOP laserdisc and not the DVD, it was also inhanced to 16:9 Wide

Using these three cuts and the SEDVD we can begin to assemble and Extended Zeist cut.

The Extended Zeist cut will restore deleted footage and missing audio cues

The Extended Cut is what many have wanted to see.

It will feature:

footage from all the versions as well as for the first time a ZEIST CUT in FLASHBACK form mirroring the RENEGADE CUT.


If anyone has question feel free to ask. Thanks for the reply, you are one of the few.

lol!!
