Never mind the status of a blu ray release of the oot, what is the current actual condition of the negative itself. And how long before it is gone forever and all they have is the 2004 master stuck at regular HD 1080P resolution.

I mean supposedly the sep masters were incorrectly done so you cannot make a new negative from them, and falling back on the IP's as a source is possible for blu ray release, but not to restore the film for a true restoration they must return to the original camera negative.
