That would be excellent.  If it's at all possible, please sync it to the old MPEG-2 BD rather than the Ultimate Hunter Edition, which was heavily DNRed.

That's a given - I didn't go anywhere near that remaster after hearing the reviews and seeing the screenshots. The first release is as good as we have for the time being, though I'm hoping against the odds for Fox to give this film the same treatment as Aliens - folks can moan about the colour revisions, but the detail wrung from that 80s stock is nothing short of phenomenal.

Indeed I'm quite keen to do Aliens next, using the theatrical audio from the 1995 laser. Which incidentally also has an AC-3 track, though I'm not certain what that is derived from - I've certainly seen no claims of it representing the 70mm mix, as was the case with the contemporaneous Alien release. This is rather academic anyway since I sadly have neither the means to listen to or capture laserdisc AC-3...
