The day has indeed arrived when we can finally say that we are able to recreate the American theatrical version of the film from 35mm! With correct colors and missing scenes (Pleasance with the kids)… along with the Italian version of the same film which is of course a great additional feature for me, being from Italy and all.

Colors are phenomenally preserved, the scan will be done in 4k and released in 1080p (eventually also in 4K when that technology will become more widespread). We will get a grindhouse version first and then a definitive and digitally cleaned-up version shortly after. There are more great plans for this project in the future, which at the time I cannot divulge but, trust me, it’s great stuff.
The hell with Lucas’ director’s cut. We finally got the original film, unaltered and well preserved!

Any economical help to make it happen is highly appreciated. We have top men working on it already but, like SilverWook correctly stated, I still need around 600 euro (624 to be exact, but say 600) for the needed HDDs and to cover some of the shipping. If you want to help out, PM me for my PayPal address. Once I have the full amount, this whole thing can be done very quickly.
