Thank you for all of your work on these. I will have a grand watch of them soon.

Great to see a DC update. I have downloaded the 11 archived sections and it requires a password. Could I grab that from you please. Thanks for all the work on these.
This is another reason why I chose the DVD grade over the Final Cut. The Criterion laserdisc, which came from a completely different source from the Director’s Cut DVD (the LD came from an interpositive of the International Cut), looks quite similar to the DVD. This is evidence that the DVD’s color grade is accurate to what people saw in the theater.
I absolutely agree! Another good source for the original colours, aside from a scan of a 35mm print, is the 1983 LaserDisc released by Embassy.
I am going to add my two pennies worth here. After looking over the BETA of the International theatrical I believe that the approach adopted on this project is correct. Using the DVD is as close as we will ever get because, and you might disagree but I suggest reading up on the problems of 35mm scans, they are too varied from one scan to another and using stills from them are thwart with questions rather than answers. If you and I scanned the exact same 35mm material we would almost certainly get different results unless we were using the exact same scanners in the exact same conditions.
More generally, the INT beta was a great watch and I am going to check out the US over the weekend and expect the results will be as impressive. Thank you for all the amazing work @lionscout42 on this.
This sounds like ana amazing project. BR deserves these three versions in 4K.
PM sent. Many thanks.
check your pm’s 😃
Do you by any chance have any non dvd/BD material related to Blade Runner? I am in the early stages of compiling an archival series on BR, much like the Alien Appendix series.
Apologies PDB for rebirthing this old thread but I found out about your BR international 4K regrade and it sounds intriguing and looks rather wonderful from the screens. Is it still available somewhere by chance? I would love to see this one.
Just for clarity, the international theatrical is the European. There was US and INT theatrical cuts. My point is that the location suggests it is the INT, which I have never seen for sale. The US was recently scanned by someone here I believe.
I don’t believe that I have seen an International theatrical for sale. (If this is the INT and not the US of course.)
Hi all. I know that interest in a project to preserve the Talking Dead will be really small. In fact I doubt it would be of interest to more than a handful people, but I enjoyed the show and I have started to bring together the episodes and will work on producing simple DVD ISO’s of each season to sit along-side the Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead releases.
Except for two main series episodes (1020 and 1021) and some of the season previews, I have found the series. I have sourced almost all of the bonus segments which were shown exclusively on AMC and YouTube (geo locked to USA viewers) and those will be included. I will continue to search for the remaining episodes but obviously the seeds for these episodes are now dead.
If anyone here has the series and would like to help, or would like to see my test ISO for the first 6 episodes, pop a message here.
The discs will follow the same order as the main shows do on DVD and BD so that one can watch the episodes on each disc, followed by the after show.
This is a show that AMC have abandoned unfortunately, and it’s a shame because in years to come, I imagine some new fans would quite like to experience the whole thing, and the show will be dead and buried unless it is preserved.
Any help with remaining episodes would be really appreciated and as I said above, if you’d like to see how the series will look, let me know here and I will pass along my first effort at the disc menus.
I know this is a very long shot given the age of this thread, but can anyone help with ‘DF007: Blade Runner: The Director’s Cut (2 Disc Set)’? I am currently working on a new Blade Runner achival release project and this would help immensely.
Thanks for any help.
This looks like a wonderful job. Could I get in on this if its not too late? Would love to watch these in quality that befits the series.
Hi all, due to a failed HDD I lost all the Alien Appendix teams work. I have found a number on the spleen but sadly Vols. 1, 5, 6, and 8 have no seeds. Could any possibly help with Vol. 8?
I will request the other volumes in the relevant thread.
Many thanks all.
This sounds like a marvellous edit. May I also please get a link?
Many thanks.
This project looks incredible. You guys are so dedicated. I sadly don’t get too much time to keep up with projects to do with movies as most of my free time if filled with J. R. R. Tolkien research activities.
I looked around the site but could not see an answer, so may I ask if anybody knows of a project to create an ‘international’ cut from the new 4K release? I was like many others quite annoyed by Warner’s lack of credibility by releasing the US cut in 4K to all markets. There should be both in 4K.
