Just finished downloading and watching. Great work Andrea! Just a great effort. Like others this is one of my favorite films so I'm always glad to watch it. I do like the color timing for a lot of things (no pun intended) like the snow being white. Not sure which is correct coloring. The HD DVD and blu-ray look like they used a combination of blue filters and blue gels which would of been common in carpenter's work at the time but I don't know. Publicity photos from the time look like Andrea's version but those are never indicative of the final print. One wonders if the hddvd and br used a different print then the ld? Regardless I love having both versions. Each evokes a slightly different feel/mood and each has as much right calling itself the "correct" color. Nothing but praise from me.

Andrea, I know you are working The Matrix but after that if I might make a humble suggestion for your next project, Mad Max 2/The Road Warrior is perfect for your process. The bluray has the totally wrong color timing. More blue vs the laserdisc and original DVD which had a yellow, more desert like coloring. I recently saw a 35mm print of mm2 and the color timing was exactly the same as the laserdisc and DVD not the blu ray. There is a long discusion in the mm2 thread here but you can get the idea from these pics:

Also Jonno has the great Dolby Stereo Surround soundtrack from the laserdisc. Anyway great work on The Thing.
