I'm not sure if you're interested in this Andrea, but Dawn of the Dead has a recent Japanese release with a new transfer!

The release, though, is not without its flaws. It is green (maybe teal?) shifted, and it was encoded using RGB levels which makes contrast levels too low. That being said, it has grain intact and substantially more detail than the Anchor Bay-based BDs.

It should be quite an easy fix to you or any other forum members here. I played around myself with the caps, and the color is still fully intact underneath the green. The transfer hasn't been regraded so much that its unsalvageable. Remove the green and you have a very saturated image that is somewhat blue (which I can buy is the original color timing). Contrast adjustment should be a cinch.

Only issue is the price. Without shipping, the individual release for the theatrical cut is already $36. 

That being said, I'd be excited if anyone had a go at this. It looks like it's ripe for BD-customization.
