So i really like this film, but i am a bit confused on this project (and the fact that most of the discussion is about film grain didn’t help). You state that the primary purpose of the preservation is the 4-track audio. Is there any real point to scanning the film then, not just the audio? especially considering its state? i have it on dvd. just curious.
The point of this scan is two-fold: (1) To retrieve the 4-track audio, which is otherwise MIA for this movie, and (2) to have a better-than-the-Blu-Ray copy of the film, because the Blu-Ray is less-than-great.
