Would there be any benefit to color-correcting the Ultimate Editions based on the colors in the Criteron LDs, etc., then syncing the original audio and banned commentaries to those?

I'm not sure I could replicate the grain look that was lost on the U.E. set. I would have to play with them a bit to find out.

I don't think it can be done. Lowry completely erased everything from their negative scans. Much of the grain came from the original prints and their age. Found a few more SE discs in the local library and there is no way to get that high amount of grain back into Dr. No if going from the Lowry transfer. This isn't even figuring in the color difference. It's massive.

From what I know about the THX discs, Goldeneye was a port of the original DVD and the others were either the ports of their last LDs or the result of the canceled one. It was intended to be a last LD line of 007, but only a few were actually released. The original listings are up on lddb.com. The THX edition of TSWLM is supposed to hold up better than either the SE or the UE. It only has that same 5.1 remix though.
