An ultra super time consuming calibration process for the scanner was carried out and the trailer scan was also compared back side by side with the original 35mm viewed under theatrical presentation-like D56 lighting. A few additional color calibration tweaks were made to individual scenes.
This should easily be the most color accurate and theatrical projected look version out there (at least to my 35mm copy of the trailer).
And yes, the grass on the hill at the start is quite golden and olive tinted and the grass/foliage in other scenes does trend yellow/orange/olive that is what the original 35mm trailer colors were like (at least on my copy of the 35mm trailer, but it seems like on others as well).

(also one week only links to higher quality versions that also include original Cinema DTS 5.1 audio:
A link to The Phantom Menace Trailer 'B' (Main Trailer) in UHD REC2100 PQ with Dolby Analog 2.0 (probably it is matrixed for simple surround?) and Cinema DTS 5.1 audio tracks:
https://we.tl/t-6yQlk3V15W
and
A link to the trailer in UHD REC709 (SDR and standard color gamut) with Dolby Analog 2.0 (probably it is matrixed for simple surround?) and Cinema DTS 5.1 audio tracks:
https://we.tl/t-4is0uVjmW2
Often TV sets tend to be more accurately calibrated in their regular SDR standard gamut REC709 modes than in their HDR Wide Gamut modes so the colors/saturation might look a touch more accurate for you with this version depending upon your set and its calibration, it might clip a few colors though but I'm not sure this trailer has all that much wide gamut content so might not make too much difference for this. Compression might be slightly worse on this one.)

| The Long Kiss Goodnight 1996 Open Matte |

I have been looking for a high-quality HD version of the film The Long Kiss Goodnight 1996 in Open Matte for a long time, but alas, I was only able to find HDTV 720p of poor quality; in WEB media services it never came across in OM, but perhaps I missed it.
Perhaps someone has a good copy of WEB\HDTV 1080p Open Matte or knows the sources where it was seen.
Thank you!

i see that there's a lot of DVDs/BDs that have matrixed 2.0/5.1 tracks but they aren't flagged so they just show up as standard 2.0/5.1... which shouldn't be the case and it's annoying
is there any way to identify them if they're not labelled on the product? if you have knowledge about the matrix encode you can just force it on the decoder.
this seems to extend to D-VHS AC3 tracks too... probably not the MP2/MP1 stereo tracks though.
i've even seen mentions of LDs that only show stereo, but are actually 2.0 surround sound.
PCM, DTS/DTS-HD MA, AAC-LC and maybe even E-AC3 seem to do this as well. god knows what!
doesn't seem to be a problem for 5 track Cinema DTS as it's indicated in the serial number (65XXX)

No Time To Die
Finally found an HDTV open matte version with no hard-coded subtitles so I decided to make a new hybrid.
The HDTV needed slowing down from 25 to 23.976fps, then colour corrected for each scene with hard-coded subtitles (some scenes needed individual frames colour corrected) to match the BluRay/Open Matte. Mattes were applied to the open matte to block the areas with subtitles which were then filled in with the HDTV.
I also used a nice OM/Scope transition from another release for the end of the opening credits.

Forced English subtitles from the BluRay were edited to align better with the IMAX/Open Matte scenes.

Some of the non-IMAX open matte scenes added image to the top and bottom but lose it from the sides so I decided to make 2 versions.

IMAX + Open Matte

IMAX + Scope
Both have now been completed.

| Blue Velvet (1986) - Edited-for-TV Version |

David Lynch's Blue Velvet was prepared for broadcast television for Dino De Laurentiis by the film's assistant editor and future full-time Lynch collaborator/ex-wife Mary Sweeney. Sweeney used cuts, video zooms and alternate footage to make things well, softer (than satin). She also brought back on Dennis Hopper to sanitize his expletive-filled speech (presumably Dean Stockwell for a single line as well), and the rest is history. Full interview with Sweeney from August 21, 1987:
https://www.upi.com/Archives/1987/08/21/...556516800/
When all was said and done, it ran only a minute shorter than Lynch and Dunham's 2-hour theatrical cut. I don't think it really ended up receiving much, if any domestic airplay stateside ("Blue Velvet" is hard to crawl for on newspaper repositories), but it made it to international markets, airing on May 29, 1991 on Channel Ten in Brisbane, Australia, for instance:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=693q3FnBtLo&t=10s
I believe these highlights of Hopper's dialogue from the TV version are from a PAL source, likely of Australian origin, as these clips are 25fps: https://www.youtube.com/@sonnyhammond6671/videos
This version I feel is important to have represented and preserved. The presence of alternate visual material is intriguing. It was also the basis for Dennis Hopper's appearance on SNL, where he spewed the same absurd, network-friendly language in reprising his role as Frank Booth: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xrfiu3
I've searched and have had help with searching to no avail. Any help in locating or obtaining this version would be greatly appreciated.
If it is located, I would like to do a few things:
- Preserve the original source in the best quality possible. If it's an original videocassette source, I have a reliable contact who does lossless captures of analog media, so that's no problem.
- Reconstruct the TV edit in its intended AR (pan and scan 4:3) in slightly better quality, using the original U.S. Lorimar Video LD release for the baseline theatrical cut footage, which I've confirmed from the YouTube clips is the same base P&S telecine used to construct the TV version.
- Present the edited soundtrack conformed as an alternate audio option for the uncut theatrical version. This would be an extremely easy and seamless task, given that either of Blue Velvet's surround remixes are totally voiceless beyond the center channel.
