I just sent you a request for the link. Now I’ll be waiting.

Did you ever receive a response from the OP? And if so, how can I request a copy myself? That seems to be the question on everyone’s minds right now, so if you know something about contacting the creator of this edit, please let me and the rest of the community know by replying to this thread.

I don’t even know, as it has been nearly a year since I posted that. And speaking of which. I don’t even know where that faneditor is up to these days.

(And I apologize for accidentally reporting you if I did, because I was meant to press the quote button, but ended up accidentally press the report button unknowingly.)

Hi everyone,

I’ve been at it for quite some time, and I think I’m finally ready to release my graded versions of the LOTR scans that have been hanging around here.
It has proved a more complicated task than I expected. What started as 1 grade per reel job ended up being a scene by scene, sometimes shot by shot regrade. Not because I wanted to, but because after some time it seemed obvious that the files had been tampered with already and that some sort of grading was applied to them at some point.

As much as I would have loved the grade to be 100% faithful to the original, I don’t think that it would be possible given the material. As I said, the scans seem to have been worked on already, and of top of that some reels have pretty intense shifts going on, plus there’s no other reference to what the original grade looked like, not to mention that those original grades were pretty funky to start with.
What is certain is that the 35mm Fuji prints had a lot more contrast going on that what can be seen on the DVD’s and blurays, which is a good thing in that it makes the picture a lot more vibrant, helps making the vfx compositing a lot more believable. On the other hand, it makes those bold grading choices (and also the color shifts) a lot more obvious, and subsenquently harder to nail, as you always feel like you’re going way over the top.

So what I did was using a “contrasted up” bluray rip as a reference, not to 100% match my grade to it, but just to use a that, a reference. Some shots are very consistent from the 35MM to the bluray, some not so much, especially in FOTR, as the theater realease didn’t use a full Digital Intermediate. When there were obvious difference between the two versions, I just tried to make the 35mm look as good as possible within its palette and relatint to the other scenes on the reel.

I’m ready to share FOTR at the moment, I don’t have a mega account, so I could maybe share it via resilio to someone who could upload it somewhere? I’m away a lot and can’t keep resilio on at all times. If someone wants to help, do reach out!
As said previously, FOTR was the hardest one to deal with. Some bits I’m still not too happy about, but I think they are the parts where the fading was just too bad (The Wizard fight in Orthanc, Arwen meeting Aragorn and the Hobbits and The Shards of Narsil scene come to mind) I’m anxious to know what you all think. I still think this is the best way to experience these movies, the last time I enjoyed watching them that much was 20 years ago in the theater!! This is the real deal, this scan really takes suspension of disbelief to another level!!

EDIT: All three movies are done, here are some updated screencaps:

I just sent you a request for the links through a private chat. I’ll be waiting.

Got a question. Is there even a 35mm film print of The Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition? All I heard since I was a little kid at the age of 7 to 10 years old from late-2001 to 2004 was that only the Theatrical Cuts were released on 35mm film prints in theaters.

“As if you didn’t already know, these tickets weren’t just for the showing of the three films, but the first two (Fellowship Of The Ring and The Two Towers) would be a special showcase of the DVD extended editions in theaters for the first time. Prints for these films were minted just for this event and at considerable cost to New Line Cinema. One week prior to the on-sale date, the movies’ official web site listed the U.S. screening locations.”

And both 35mm film prints were created directly from their 2k masters, right? Like I said, I knew nothing about this until now, except the fact that I only knew that only the Theatrical Cuts existed in 35mm film prints.

I can’t wait to see this 4k Dremastered version of The Fellowship of the Ring Extended Cut.

Will you send me the link to the MKV Files when they’re ready to go?

You talking to me?

This is that audio mix that PJ made years ago. I re-uploaded it for anyone interested.

Is this the original Japanese Audio with PJ’s enhanced sound effects?

You talking to me?

What is this?

Will you please send me an invitation code?

It’s me, PJ. Do you have the Japanese dub of your Redesigned Sound Mix version of Nausicaa I requested almost a year ago? I was hoping you read this once you’re active again in originaltrilogy.com

Will you send me an invite link?

I just sent you a request for the link. Now I’ll be waiting.

Do you have the link to the 4k file of the 35mm film print of Terminator 2?

Do you have the revised cut? I previously sent you a private topic for the link about a week ago.

I am 5 years late, but what exactly is wrong with the original 1992 sound effects? I rather hear Batman '89 with Batman 1992 sound effects, but still.

Will anyone here private message me the link?

Will you please message me the link to the 35mm film print version of Aladdin?
