I’d also love to have a somewhat de-tealed version of the two, especially Batman Returns, which from the print stills does have teal in it, but should also lean deep blue, sometimes bordering on slightly purple.

The flat open matte first trailer posted might serve as a good reference (and it features alternate shots and stuff you shouldn’t be seeing).

Also the final theatrical trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOLQfvp4aYI&list=PLDRH8owssg8H0YToSKVBIvg0qWaFAiB9l

So it seems the home releases prior to the 4K were turned a bit too neutral in its grade.

I believe Warner Bros 35mm negative scan was leaked on a russian site (Rutsacker?) and that the master is before the clean-up and regrade. I only saw stills of this, though.

Searched ‘Batman 35mm’ on rutracker. Nothing came up.

I think they are referring to the crappy scan by NC-17, which I think was only posted on his twitter.

Dirty Harry is going to have the mono included on the upcoming 4K

fidelity wise it will probably suck compared to VHS/LD.

you don’t really know that, because the LD was an analog track with typical shortcomings (and it very well could’ve used an optical element as base) and this 4K would clearly be from lower generation elements so it would still likely have improvements, Warner would REALLY have to screw up the mastering for it to sound worse than a 42 year old analog laserdisc

Spoiler: They kinda did.

Glad bro was banned. Dumbest thing I’ve seen in a while

I know Mangowolf attempted to do something similar to this. How does this project compare to theirs?

Apparently the UHD has the censored audio with the Bagavad Gita chant removed. Shame, as the release claims to have the “original theatrical 5.1 surround soundtrack remastered from the 35mm magnetic track”. Oh well.

I await some caps and comps.

The chant was removed during the theatrical run. There’s 2 versions of the cinema DTS tracks, one with and one without. So technically, they’re not lying.

True, it’s not completely false advertising because for a lot of people the censored one is the “original”. However, it’s not the ORIGINAL original track, it’s the original REVISED track. Obviously, Criterion would never say that outright, but it would’ve been nice to finally have it on home video. I wonder if (outside the discs) the true original mix no longer exists, and all they have is the revised one. The Cinephiles remux includes the uncensored CDTS mix, so at least there’s that.

I just sent a PM. Thanks again!

Only 1.85:1 aspect ratio though. 😦

The prints were hard matted anyway

Not all of them. Some were open matte.

how is the color grading compared to the 4k bd and is this uncensored video and audio?

It’s the international version so it’s uncensored video but the audio is still censored as with every other release excluding the original 1999 release. Only the first CDTS mix is uncensored.

Is that my 35mm revival in this article? That’s very cool! Keep in mind that the original leaked ones I used in my project had film fade, especially reel 2, where it is way worse, so I regraded them to match the NTSC LaserDisc, especially since the colours are identical to the opening night bootleg if I recall.

Maybe you should send them screengrabs of your revised one so he’s not misinterpreting anything or giving a false impression.

by combining the CLV release with patches from the Deluxe CAV release.

I’m curious as to what needs to be patched?

Just a transition between sides 1 and 2. This is where the audio from side 2 on the Deluxe CAV release patches it.

I see. Thanks for the info.

I’m curious as to what needs to be patched? Does this have the same exact problems as the Toy Story LD?

@Sambarker04

Thanks for adding it!

Will this have the commentary with Selick, Burton, and Elfman from the DVD/Blu-ray?

@Gigawattboy

You should add this edit to fanedit.org IFDB.

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.

what are the audio tracks for this. Did you ever add the cinema DTS track?

May this thread never die!

I think someone spoke too soon.

General thoughts about this thread:

I’m coming back 16 years later to say that The Sixth Sense is great. Unbreakable is great. Sure it’s “slow” but a better word is methodical. All of the negative comments here about them are frankly completely misguided. Just because you “guessed” the end of a film shouldn’t take away from the rest of the film if it’s a good film, which I believe both are.

PM me for a copy.

PM sent!

Does anyone plan to sync the DTS to these scans?

@imsorrydave2448

Donation sent!

I’d be happy to contribute to this!
