Someone went on the Deluxe site for theater releases, looks like Universal is re-releasing some movies for some flashback screenings and They noticed that Back to the Future is one of them and the strange thing is the date on the CPL, its dated 2021.
Is there a newer transfer now that may eclipse the 4K? Or is it when the existing 4k transfer may have been downloaded onto a DCP file?

The Beach is one of those movies like True Lies and The Abyss that is completely absent from Blu Ray. And whilst it's not on the same level as those movies I have a soft spot for it.
There are two different HD versions floating around, a HDTV recording in the original aspect ratio and a cropped open matte WebDL. For this project I used AutoOverlay (I actually got it to work!!) to place the WebDL on top of the HDTV, as the WebDL was higher quality. Color was matched to the HDTV, so the far left and right side of the image is from the HDTV and the rest is from the open matte. The matching worked great, aside from two shots everything lined up perfectly.
Next that file was run through upscaling/downscaling, cleaning, slight sharpening and dehaloing in AviSynth. Then into Phoenix for dirt and dust removal. Finally into After Effects for re-graining. I did not fully trust either the open matte or HDTV to have an accurate representation of the grain due to the lower quality of the clearly older master, therefore I used the match grain function and matched it to Gangs of New York - which according to imdb was shot on the same negative stock.
Thanks to @PDB for some AutoOverlay guidance.
I would have loved to get the Laserdisc audio for this but sadly it's a very rare and very expensive disc - the only one I could find was on eBay for $900! So the audio tracks and extras have all been ported over from the DVD, along with a few interviews I found on youtube. English SDH subtitles are also included, but these required a lot of manual retiming. Some appeared early, some on time and some late, it was all over the place.

Great to join a community that is sick of the crap that the major movie companys are giving to us and doing their own thing by restoring and creating the movies that we all love so much!
