Very good news for "Dark City", and both cuts included in UHD

Tombstone (1993) announced for 4K Blu-ray https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=36156
Figures... Maybe the old master would be necessary for a theatrical transition here and there, I'm not sure. I'll see. It's not for now anyway. I'm on Seinfeld and I still have Terminator on the backburner.
@MrBrown, well, whenever you can check, it would save me some time to not engage in a reconstruction that already exists in a satisfactory way.
I opened the box.. but never put in one of the discs.. 
oh, I mixed up "Brotherhood of the Wolf" with "Company of the Wolf". I have seen "Brotherhood of the Wolf", I have the german UHD Box, with the DC in UHD and the TC as bonus feature on BD. I think I also have some older german releases on DVD and BD...
MrBrown, I have both the French UHD and remastered Blu-ray, both extended director's cut, and was considering a recreation of the original theatrical cut
Oh, I did not see that movie, yet. But I preordered the upcoming german release.
We also lost the Belgian actress Emilie Dequenne on March 16th. You guys might have seen her in the French film "Brotherhood of the Wolf".
https://collider.com/fight-club-4k-relea...cher-cost/ And I still never trust that for what Fincher did to the two films "restored" into mess
Neat Video 6 is out, looks like a TON of fixes, improvements, new configuration, faster https://www.neatvideo.com/features/versi...tory/nv6pr
Panic Room looks like a general upscale even apart from the intermittent "fixes" and "changes". I really, really hope he doesn't do that w. Fight Club 
Yeah, Fincher has ruined "Panic Room" even more so than he did with "Seven". Everything looks artificial and oversharpened now. It's no longer a real home, it's a digital set: every curtain has been changed, many windows as well, every reflection erased, but lensflares added, go figure, and he CGIed the Coca-Cola can so you can read the brand instead of seeing its backside. Fincher is completely gone. He was my favorite at some point, he's now on my blacklist. I'll see if I can cancel my preorder.
At 5:48 for the Se7en part, ouch. Not only Fincher kept the revisionist changes, he also butchered the lightning to make it too bright for certain dark scenes. The same Fincher also butchered Panic Room after over eighteen years from it's Blu-ray format debut. Viewers want perfection, not tackle with revisionist, DNR and AI changes!
Very cool video. His opinions kind of dovetail into what I've thought of modern digital cameras. Just because you have the ISO to film it doesn't mean you shouldn't properly light it
for anyone who was sleeping on this, its both the UHD and D.C., its $12 w/ flat $4 shipping, no matter if you order 1 item or many. I got this on sale for $26, MSRP is $40 https://www.hamiltonbook.com/blackhat-uhd-blu-ray_4
"-only dialogue" Really? This is not the first time Lionsgate pull this bull when they released the shorten cuts, while the international cuts got it instead (Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard & Rambo: Last Blood). That pisses me off which even the additional scenes to fill up plotholes (and not just the violence to avoid an NC-17 rating) improves the overall experience cut from the shorten version of the film. In Rambo's case, the alternative opening significantly changed the tone of the movie after all
FYI. Looks like there are two different cuts of Den of Thieves 2: https://www.reddit.com/r/boxoffice/comme...s_2_could/
I kinda think the original looked more convincing, except maybe the grading. Oh, well, I didn't like the movie at all anyway, although Rook was the best part for me since everything else was terrible.
Not sure, was wondering myself. Maybe its the orignal streaming file and they fixed it for the BD/UHD?
What's the source on the theatrical shots? Is there a cam/screener out there?
Here is a comparison of the changes made in Alien Romulus to the Ash puppet: https://youtu.be/FSkAhWQhEas?si=7LVohWV6ZDfUAshs
Not surprising as Tarantino did not rescan the original negatives by reediting the entire movie; Lionsgate reused the 2K DI (back then, computers are not powerful enoguh to render the film at 4K DI until Spider-Man 2 in 2004) like Universal for Inglorious Basterds. The true 4K from Tarantino are the first three and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (with the dreaded 7.1 remix on the UHD; neither does the near-fielded 5.1 mix). The first two should sync with the LaserDisc PCM Stereo, while Jackie Brown can sync with DTS LD audio as the proper 5.1 mix. Reservoir Dogs: https://fanrestore.com/thread-1461.html and Pulp Fiction: https://fanrestore.com/thread-5695.html But no Jackie Brown for now which does have fantastic transfer to watch
Yeah, I don't get these people with their digital brain now: why would you smooth that piece of wood? It looked much more real and authentic with the lines on it.
Fincher's revisionist once again like Se7en does. Waited for the Blu-ray and 4K releases debut, just like that!?
this one does not look good https://slow.pics/c/4hiIA2qp?canvas-mode...it=contain
I'm sure I read somewhere that the bigger problem with the Woo films is access to elements as the owners did not take care of them at all. I'm not 100% but I think it was talking about Bullet in the Head being completely gone. Anyway fingers crossed they find something workable.
Since Hong Kong Rescue is gone to shame, looks like it finally go for the proper restoration of these movies at long last
Wow, its finally happening... https://variety.com/2025/film/asia/john-...236272850/
Train wreck of a movie anyway, just like Twisters. There's no fixing at this point. Just erase those from history.
Fix this! Fix that! How do you 'fix' something for which there is no complete or correct version? It's just an improvement until next time someone wants to fiddle with it...
Alien Romulus home release has fixed Rook - https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news...e-release/
I'll take it over low quality scans with questionable grading, or an LD era release
yeah, he did some revisionist changes. I wish he didn't, but it's honestly not that big of a deal
so, he DID use A.I., but not in how you think. I approve this usage https://ew.com/david-fincher-discusses-u...ox-8763180
Then stick with the DTS Cinema CD-ROM track instead? Even the DTS LD releases has fatal flaws that the true theatrical experience is the DTS Cinema audio track. What a waste, but a least tried for emunateD (the same with Pulp Fiction)
Looks like emunateD is ready to sync the UHD release for what velocity saying: https://fanrestore.com/thread-5616.html
sounds like we'll have to mux the 7.1 onto this https://www.hometheaterforum.com/seven-a...hd-review/
Yes probably right issues, so they removed the music. That makes for an interesting alternative soundtrack version!
Warner just put Barry Lyndon on YT with many music cues missing in scenes that now only have the dialogue and effects track on them.
just watched PTA's 1st movie HARD EIGHT (aka SYDNEY) in the new 4k master on The Movie Channel, Looks great. Colorful, better color separation, new looking, you can see every single pore in John C. Reilly's face now, lol
For Amadeus Theatrical, looks like the JP LD audio can finally sync once the 4K is out: https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Amadeu...803/page/1

Corporations just want to make money. If upscaling a 1080p master with AI cost 5 000 $ vers investing 15 000 $ to scan in 4K + 10 000 $ to redo the color timing, they won't hesitate.
Just finished SK13, the doc on Kubrick/Eyes Wide Shut, HIGHLY recommended. Fascinating. Not sure I agree w/ his final take, but what a hell of a ride
Would have been mondo excellent if both cuts of Thief made it to 4K officially.. Maybe Arrow Video.
And yet corporations never learn NOT to AI upscale the masters. Viewers rather have untouched 2K DI masters placed into the 4K disc (with less compression issues; worked with The Shallows (2016) & Drive (2011) Second Sight releases) despite limited by the source masters
Even Interstella 5555 has been ruined by AI: https://www.reddit.com/r/DaftPunk/commen.../#lightbox
