Good news. Cast Away print is now 100% scanned and is currently being rendered.

A sample will be sent out to all donors and then awaits a fully rendered 1.85:1 and Open Matte version to be enjoyed in all its glory.

Late to the game on this… Would love to get a copy. Would be happy to donate, even if its too late.

I’ve been trying to track down the 1982 US Broadcast version of Blade Runner but to no avail, if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

I don’t know if this will help you but after some (really) quick research, I was able to find out the following info for Blade Runner:

-US Pay Cable premiere: September 1983
-US Network premiere: February 6, 1986 on CBS

Then after that, all syndicated airings. Here are just a few:

December 23, 1988 - KCBS - Los Angeles - Late night broadcast
December 23, 1988 - WINK - Fort Myers - Late night broadcast
December 23, 1988 - WTVX - Fort Pierce - Late night broadcast
December 23, 1988 - WKTV - Sacramento - Late night broadcast
November 21, 1989 - WPIX - New York
November 20, 1989 - WLVI - Boston
November 22, 1989 - WTXX - Hartford
February 15, 1990 - WGN - Chicago
February 10, 1991 - WLVI - Boston
February 6, 1992 - WGN - Chicago
July 28, 1993 - Channel 9 - Melbourne

I personally would love any of these broadcasts WOC.

Don’t know if this has been mentioned yet, but I throughly enjoyed the easter egg on the ROTJ disc. Thank you njvc!

Just thought of one other special feature that might be added in a future edition of the ROTJ blu ray discs…

In 1983, Return Of The Jedi featured the very first THX trailer in theaters, called “Wings.”

The THX “Wings” trailer and almost all THX trailers can be downloaded in HD & 5.1 and above from here:

Thanks for the suggestions re: the ROTJ docos. Having played around with the puzzle pieces, and taken into account suggestions here, I’ll release a 25GB and a 50GB version.

25GB

• Returning to Jedi (2007) - 148 mins
• Empire of Dreams Part III (2004) - 30 mins
• Classic Creatures (1983) - 48 mins
• Jamie Benning: ROTJ Location Special Effects (2015) - 5 mins

50GB

• Everything on the 25GB version, plus:
• From SW to Jedi: The Making of a Saga (1983) - 70 mins
• When Star Wars Ruled the World (2004) - 50 mins
• Jamie Benning: Life Inside Jabba The Hutt (2015) - 20 mins
• Star Wars: The Magic and the Mystery (1997) - 50 mins

It’s possible there will be room for one more on the 50GB. Will have to wait and see, but feel free to suggest something if you know of a really good one.

How about one of these:

From Star Wars to Star Wars: The Story of Industrial Light & Magic (1999)
Industrial Light & Magic: Creating the Impossible (2010)

I’ve started work on the ROTJ documentary disk, and have a dilemma. There are a bevy of choices, and I don’t think I can adequately fit them all on a 25GB disk. Here are the current candidates:

Jamie Benning – Returning to Jedi 2:30
Jamie Benning ROTJ Special effects – 5 mins
Jamie Benning: Inside Jabba – 20 mins
Making of a saga – 1:10
Empire of dreams Part III - 30 mins
Classic creatures – 48 mins
When star wars rules the world – 41 mins

I am considering going for a 50GB disk for the ROTJ doco disk to allow all these to be included. The other alternative is to cut some of these, and stick with 25GB.

Thoughts?

Though I wouldn’t mind a 50gb option, I say keep the following:

Jamie Benning – Returning to Jedi 2:30 - since you have the ANH and ESB ones on those, so keep this.
Empire of dreams Part III - 30 mins - obvisouly, since you have the other parts on the other discs.
Classic creatures – 48 mins - since this is THE ROTJ making of feature
Making of a saga – 1:10 - Since this making of came out around Jedi

I say losing:

When star wars rules the world – 41 mins
Jamie Benning ROTJ Special effects – 5 mins
Jamie Benning: Inside Jabba – 20 mins

But like I said, 50gb option is fine with me.
