My god, that looks amazing and is just what I’ve been hoping for, all this time. I have the Blu-ray re-grade and it’s pretty great. The mono track however is VERY rough and would now be better served with the addition of the original mono that Warner provided with their 4K disc (the only good thing about that disc, I reckon).

There are two fanedit versions I know of, one is a proper 35mm scan here;

The Exorcist & The Shining Blu-Ray

The other is a Blu-Ray regrade project, which is on MS (for those who have access to that)

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.

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).
