dvdmike, perhaps you'd like kk650's regraded ROTLA?  You can find it over at tehparadox.  IMO it's a subtle job that gives a good balance between the Blu's warmer pallet and the WOWOW version without going to either extreme.  In fact, it's still pretty warm - but the sky in Egypt is back to being blue.

Thanks for the kind words bkev, I was trying to strike a balance between the two, they are so different to each other though that it was difficult to know which way to lean.In the end I leaned more towards a warmer palette rather than the colder palette of the japanese WOWOW version.

The link you've posted to though is actually of an out of date version, I decided that i'd removed too much red in this release and given fleshtones a slightly greentish tone so with the 16gb release I added a bit more red to give the whole film a slighly warmer tone, I felt it worked better overall with the tone of the film. The skies are still blue of course but the whole film has a warmer more pleasant feel to it in the 16gb release.
