Yes.  Don't get too excited too fast, though - the print kinda looks like shit.  It's going to need a lot of restoration work to make it acceptable for general release.

 That is incredible.  Even with the amount of work it might take, it's a huge glimmer of hope.  Just a few years ago the very idea of doing our own transfer from 35mm seemed a pipe dream that was utterly unattainable.  Now, with someone out there making the first attempt, it's only a matter of time before we have something truly stupendous.  I mean, look at the evolution of the fan preservations based on home video sources...  This is likely our very big "first step into a larger world"...  Color me thrilled (and very patient).
