35mm Print of Eyes Wide Shut on Ebay!! — Page 4
- Time

- Post link
Here’s where things stand now:
(1) I attended a cinema 35mm screening of Eyes Wide Shut recently. That was my final color check to make sure I was encoding everything in a way that was faithful to a print being projected.
Took detailed color notes, yada yada. Was in a good ballpark but this helped me hone in on things. The home video releases are really not representative of the original look at all.
Despite being a foreign print (which makes it luckily uncensored), it seems to bear the same color as domestic prints.
So color complete.
(2) Settled on a relatively good crop, more info on the top, bottom, and sides than the BD. But obviously this is still hard matted to widescreen.
Crop complete.
(3) Patched in any missing frames so this is a frame-complete release synced to the BD. You can freely put whatever dubs or subs are with the BD.
Frame-complete…er, complete.
(4) I just need to get my encoding finessed as this is a grain-heavy print. A 4K encode alone takes 4 days on my system once it gets started, even without any of the testing.
This is the stage I need to complete still 😃
I’ll PM everyone in the next two weeks with details. Missed the mark on Christmas but there shouldn’t just be one time of year to enjoy some Kubrick

Great update!
From my experience, H265 (x265) at around RF 22-24 in Handbrake (from prores 4444/422 HQ) does a great job maintaining grain in 4K. The key is using the “grain” option under “tune” in encoder options.
Looking forward to seeing it. I’d still like to donate if it’s possible.

The encode is done. Everything’s finished. Eyes Wide Shut in 35mm is available.
If you donated a long time ago to this project, you should have gotten a PM. If you expressed interested in donating, you also should have gotten a PM.
If you haven’t got a PM and are still interested, you can PM me.

Hey I’m interested in donating to get a copy if that’s still possible ?

Looks like this is up on the organ site. But with censored audio.

organ site?
Did someone leak it? That’s awful.

Either someone leaked it or it’s another 35mm scan.
Also I can’t seem to find a comparison before and after video of the censored audio. Why is that?

Probably the same person who was leaking other stuff on there.

I knew there was something up with the added authentication gate over the 35mm scans project page! People like this leaker are why we can’t have nice things.

I noticed someone leaked it on multiple private trackers. Unsure who did, but it’s a bummer since it wasn’t authorized by the OP.

Would love a PM with info, if still available.
Thanks to all.

Could someone please PM with info for how to contribute to/download this?
I’m aware it’s now on various private trackers but would rather support the actual project.
Thanks

Fantastic work! But about an uncensored audio track? This can be done by patching the current track with the soundtrack CD
Here is some info:
https://alt.movies.kubrick.narkive.com/w3dfozPV/eyes-wide-shut-soundtrack-bhagavad-gita
A famous Russian torrent site has the soundtrack CD in full.
The track that interests us is track #9.
I can’t find online videos showing before and after.

No need for any of that, we have the Cinema DTS discs with uncensored audio

Thank you to Gweedo16 and The Aluminum Falcon for their efforts, this is a beautiful success. The film looks like a film again. EWS’s graininess was already anachronistic in 1999 when it was released, so it’s not surprising its home video versions were “modernized” in all the wrong ways. This remedies that.

I would greatly appreciate a PM with info on how to download this version of EWS, if still available. Many thanks!

This is a lovely preservation but the audio it comes with IS the censored audio.

You guys keep saying “censored” but I assume all you mean is the religious chants have been removed/replaced as in all subsequent video releases of the flick, correct? You’re not talking about, like cursing bleeped out, etc? I’d like the original audio as I saw it in the theater too, but it was replaced by his estate, and it’s not egregiously different than the original. Frankly, not having the original mono on some of his other films is far more detrimental, in my opinion.

Correct. And whether or not it is much different is opinion. There should be two tracks so people can choose.

Clarification - this print is an Italian print. It did not come with English DTS discs (I do not have those and lack the knowledge to process the raw disc file even if I did.)
Italian audio is optical stereo, which will certainly stand out if plugged into English DTS.
If anyone has the English Cinema DTS and wants to sync it to the BD/this scan (same timing), feel free.
I’ve heard that some later 35mm restrikes had the chanting removed as well. And of course being an Italian print, you’re not being censored visually (digitally added people in the orgy) like the US.
