PROJECT UPDATES

I regret to inform you that I decided to NOT use the "slice technique"; despite the fact the technique itself is working - and I showed it in this very thread - it's really hard and time-consuming to reach a perfect color and position matching; I discovered that in many shots, the first one or two frames in the HDTV wobbling, with variable spacial width and direction, and small color variations, making almost impossible to find out proper spacial and color settings to do a perfect match... I'm really sorry, because first tests were quite good!

So, I will use only HDTV as video source, plus the MGM logo at the beginning and end to match the blu-ray soundtrack.

BUT... I want you forgive me for this fact, and so I thought to do, apart the normal restoration, an extra fan-edit version, using the deleted scene put at the beginning, plus replacing the credits with a custom version I found on the net - a wondeful one - in an additional BD-25, along with extra material... what do you think?

Now I need laserdisc and DVD commentaries; while I could do myself the former, I need the latter (by Debra Hill and Joe Alves), because my PAL italian DVD has not it - AFAIK, both are available on DVD.
