Wow, this is a super project! How about skipping the Blu-ray part altogether and go for a straight-out UHD


right from film?

Your pictures look super! It’s good to see bad man with bad beard stubble! However, there is a tendency for darkest shadow to be a little too Blue. I’d slightly bump up the Red and Green in the dark end – to neutralize that and to expand those very dark shadows for details to show. See how it affects the rest of the picture by letting the curve-increase taper-off at the high end. Otherwise restrict it to that low shadow range (only if it shows this way on the wet-gate scan, too, of course).
