If you have access to the original camera negative, it’s going to look great in 4K. Look at the Wizard of Oz, that’s 1939.

- Comment on Dredd (2012) 4K UHD for €10 on Amazon.ie currently 1 week ago:
As a UK resident, I can’t order it, it’s showing as unavailable. It’s on the UK site but it costs £25.
It might be worth reading the 4K Dredd thread over at Blu-ray.com
It’s seems there isn’t a perfect version of the film. I believe the US 4K by Lionsgate has the best picture but another region has the better sound quality.
In terms of normal Blu-ray, apparently the Japanese release is best but that’s now expensive and hard to find.
Thanks for the tip though, may it make many Irish Dredd fans happy.

Searching for images, I think it was this one.
- Comment on Is VHS back? No, but I bought a 'new' VHS release. (Techmoan) 4 weeks ago:
A couple of years ago, I found a copy of The Matrix on VHS in a charity shop. It must have been a special edition as it contained a little 5 minute making of feature after the film.
It was a beautiful cardboard case with silver inlay and the tape was still sealed in plastic. I haven’t had a VHS player for decades but I wish I’d bought it now just to put on a shelf.

- Comment on Buyer Beware: Some 4K discs and streaming versions of cult classics have soundtrack changes 5 weeks ago:
TV series tend to suffer from this quite regularly. The music is cleared for the original broadcast but then the studio doesn’t pay (I guess) for the use on DVDs. I know that Quantum Leap suffers from this. Apparently the US DVDs have the music changed but the European releases use the original tunes.

Releasing the film in 4K. Releasing the film on 4K disc.

Cool. The US version cuts off the birthday cake ending. So after the jump scare in the car, it cuts to the credits. So it implies she’s escaped I guess.
- Comment on A sneak peek at the 4K restoration of Tron. (phone footage but still impressive) 2 months ago:
With this and director Joseph Kosinski saying he had prepared a 4K remaster for Tron: Legacy for the Apple Vision Pro a while back, it can’t be too much of a stretch to think that both films will get 4K physical releases to help promote Tron: Ares.

I got mixed up. The longer version is the original cut but it’s only by about a minute. I don’t know if it’s helpful but I found these running times. I won’t link the site this came from as it spoils the ending.
R-Rated version = 98:35 Min. Unrated version = 99:51 Min.

I hope it’s the original cut. Both cuts are identical but the US version ending runs a little longer and changes the outcome dramatically.

I’m just constantly surprised that all these shows were done on film, therefore allowing a 4K scan.

- Comment on That 16-bit Terminator 2 throwback doesn't feature Arnie's likeness, but it did license the guy who played adult John Connor for 30 seconds in the film's intro 2 months ago:
If you want to know about crap licenses to movies, there was a 8bit game for Blade Runner, but the developers couldn’t obtain the rights to do it. However, they were able to gain the rights to another part of the film.
The box art for the Blade Runner game states in rather small text on the cover, “video game interpretation of the film score”. Yes, they got the rights to the soundtrack!
- Comment on Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time Remake Shows Signs Of Life With Small Update 2 months ago:
I had this on releas on my GameCube and really enjoyed it. Several years ago, I played through it again and it holds up really well. The combat gets a bit repetitive and the camera can sometimes get stuck in a strange position but apart from that, it was a lot of fun.
- Comment on Jim Henson's The Storyteller: The Complete Collection Blu-ray 2 months ago:
I’m interested to see how this turns out because they’re HD masters taken from the original broadcast tapes.
Therefore it will look better than DVD at least. I’ll await the reviews.
