How trustworthy is that site? I know Disney loves money just as any other film company so they obviously do know that they would make a ton of money if releasing the true originals, but on the other hand I really doubt it.
I mean, if they did want to release them, what would the source be? The old faded interpositives used for the GOUT? The altered negatives? (Which would probably need another restoration process anyway) The Laserdisc masters - JSC or 93 or whatever - are out of the question since they're probably on Betacam tapes (DVD resolution) or something.
Well, first of all, it is a rumor site.
Having said that, they've been remarkably accurate, for a rumor site, in the past. But I think it depends on the writer of any given article. Rich Johnston has had some ridiculous foresight in the Doctor Who world. I think he correctly identified 2 of the last 3 "Doctor" actors before anyone else, and was the first to leak a major announcement about episodes from the 1960's being found, last summer.
So, in that way, they've sort of earned a position to me as the only gossip site for which I'll pause for a moment and really consider what they're saying. But, I'm sure they'll be the first to admit that rumors are just rumors. And none of the other writers, including this one, on there have been quite so convincing.
