New info on the impending release. Raiders has that new color timing, which I'm not sold on, but TOD and LC are supposedly also from 4K scans. (Isn't this the Lowry scan? They look identical.) LC has some artifacting etc. on screencaps over at caps a holic, but otherwise everything seems ok. (At least nothing as in what's going on about the Hitchcock set.) I'm just not enthused about the new Raiders audio.

The bass and surrounds have been redone to meet modern standards, but to me the sonic identity of the original mix is a part of the film's identity. I hope it isn't lost with new stereo surrounds being done (Didn't Jambe's Raiding confirm that the film was originally mixed for stereo surrounds?) What would have been really interesting would have been to actually incorporate the 70mm mix and find some way to incorporate that baby boom experience. (Actually, would this be possible with the LFE cable being split to two subwoofers playing the same content?)

The new 35mm print sounded terribly dull.

But if they redid the work, went to the original negative, and changed nothing-WHY PAY SOMEONE TO REMOVE THE SNAKE REFLECTION?

So Raiders is gonna suck. Great.
