There are several ongoing issues with this release. It is very complex.

We have at least 3 prints to evaluate. We did a thorough workthrough of 1 of them. It has many issues that were too hard to fix in post production. So we stopped working on it.

We then started working on Star Wars and have been ever since.

Since that time, we've procured 2 more prints. Some better in some areas than others. Integrating all 3 of them will not be easy.

For an example, from the first Kodak print, here is a small video of the cleanup that was needed for a few frames, this took quite awhile to do.

The rest of the film was like that for most of the reels.

We do have a hybrid version that was watchable, if you read the review of the screening. But even that has many issues, and is quite far from being in release condition. We'll get to it, once we are ready to tackle it.

For the time being, many can enjoy seeing the current effort that went into what we have so far.

I feel this is pertinent qoute from 'none':

This is a rather miraculous project. You don't just overnight piece together an outfit who have this knowledge base and expertise. Following the headlines for the recently rediscovered Black Angel by Roger Christian, for that project it was people inside major companies who stepped forward to do this same type of work. The number of people with these types of skills and time is small. Most of us who have been around these parts for a few years know (but definitely don't like) the speed at which projects and the group knowledge base advances. One way to help is get involved, learn these skills and contribute even in the smallest of ways.
