This sounds really interesting, I'd definitely like to see it when it's done.
I'm just curious, what are the tech specs of this project? I understand you're using DVD? Will you be colour correcting the sources to match together? From what I saw (I never did a direct comparisson, but I watched all the versions short of the US cut) the colourtiming is quite different on the final cut than the other versions.
And also will you be cropping the workprint to be the same AR as the rest?
Sorry if this has already been discussed before, I skipped through the thread but didn't read everything thoroughly.
