I am not sure if this is intentional, but here’s the difference between Dremastered extended vs. theatrical for those curious:

Imho he should’ve used the color grading from the theatrical cut as reference for his algo for the EE aswell, this new grading looks rather funky

It is entirely messed up.

It looks better than the official 4k release for sure, but as the original vision for this fanproject was to bring the films back to their original vision and grading there is just no way around using the theatrical cuts grading since that one is the original grading the movies had even in cinema.

Furthermore since DrDre already took his swing at the theatrical cuts of the movies and made them the definitive version to watch, one would presume he would somehow incorporate those or at least use their grading as reference for his rework for the EEs aswell.

Perhaps that’s even what he meant when he said that he is reworking part 1 of Fellowship EE

Indeed. I currently watch the precious editions.

What version are those based on?

Huh?

Yes, we would like at least Dr. Dre to complete the first movie. How does he not have the itch to complete a project that is halfway through? A project that many are excited about? Come on, Dre.

He does want to complete it. The project isn’t binned.

Did you contact him recently?

No, have you?

I asked about it today. He might revisit it down the road… so maybe, maybe not.

Nice, you got a reply! We can pray, as so many are hopeful.
