Whew . . . this is very exciting indeed. I almost don't know what to say about it except that it's wonderful to see that the prints are in as good condition as they are, and that things are progressing further than I expected. The preliminary colour correction looks rather good.

What about sound? Will it also be restored? No chance for 6 track dolby?

Being 35mm, the audio being the Dolby Stereo matrixed 2-channel mix seems a given. Perhaps we could try to get Belbucus back here to do some restoration work on it if need be? Assuming it gets that far, of course.

Having the actual 6-track mixes is out of the question without access to 70mm prints, but for my part I'd certainly be interested in pairing them with my own 5.1 tracks. Doing that would largely be a question of getting the synch right, which would depend how many frames were actually missing from the laserdiscs/GOUT and matching the playback speed, and how best to account for things of that nature . . .
