Either they used footage solely from the Extended Director’s Cut for the new trailer, or the OTC really is still as blue as it was the last go-round. There’s no way YouTube and its limitations are solely responsible for accidentally making the exorcism scenes—-and only the exorcism scenes—-look that blue. That doesn’t make sense.
The forthcoming 4K disc from Warner is not looking promising, if the trailer they released is anything to go on. The final sequence is even BLUER than on the Blu-ray. I expected this for the Extended Director’s Cut, but some are saying it’s likely they used the same color grade for the “Original Theatrical Cut” (what a misnomer THAT is, if true). Apparently nothing is sacred.
Any hope for a 4K reconstruction once the discs are in-hand? At least it comes with the original mono this time.
Are we allowed to post links for download? I have it and would be willing to share a download link (from my iCloud).

Has anyone seen this title from MySpleen?
The Exorcist (1973): Theatrical Cut Reconstruction
If not, it’s quite good.
I’d love to— where can we find it? I’ve been searching for a few years to no avail.
I’m also still looking for that theatrical restoration edit. Sigh. I’ve reverted to watching the 1997 pan and scan DVD, but even that doesn’t have the original mono (oh well).
