I'm disappointed to find out that director Richard Stanley's movie for Marillions Brave was not included in the Blu-Ray of the 2018 Deluxe Edition, and I would like to see a version with Remastered video and audio.

Someone can find the DVD of the movie, convert from PAL to NTSC, use AI upscaling to upscale the movie to 1080p/4K, and use Steven Wilson's 5.1 remix to replace the songs in the audio track. (The original Dave Meegan mix is also included)

There is no blu ray for this movie so the video comes from a 1080p webrip. The webrip was interlaced so this was deinterlaced and decimated in Avisynth. Aside from that nothing special was done with the video. Added to this was the audio tracks and special features from the DVD. I did try to track down the Hong Kong DVD for the DTS-ES 6.1 track but no luck.

The theatrical cut of Troy has been released on HD-DVD and Blu Ray but only in the Czech Republic, Poland and Russia. Whilst this version is inferior to the Director's Cut, it is still worthy of preservation due to the fact that it benefits from slightly increased picture on all four sides, it has unique color grading and it syncs to the Cinema DTS.

You can see the difference in grading below, TC top and DC bottom.





For the video I applied edge enhancement reduction and upscaled to 4k in Topaz, then took it back down to 1080P and regrained it. I also applied a partial CRT LUT as I noticed the blu ray had increased levels of red when compared to the theatrical cut DVD.

For this project I decided not to include any special features, as the Director's Cut disc contains everything from previous releases. Thanks to @stwd4nder2 for the French audio track.

Hi all, for some reason this has been open matte only on streaming and has never had an official release in HD.
I have looked and can only find one version in HD and OAR, has anyone seen it anywhere in OAR 5.1 1080p? thanks (also do we have the cineam DTS for this?)

After FT Depot posted the 35mm scan of the teaser trailer, this project was finally possible, since the trailer uses many shots from it. However this isn't a 100% re-creation, as some shots are missing or shortened in the final cut of the movie.

Still, it's very close to the original trailer and unless someone gets his hands on the 35mm trailer, this will be the best you'll ever see

Edit Notes
- Fox logo taken from Die Hard 2, since it was squeezed and could be used in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio after adjusting it. If someone knows a movie which a better looking logo in 1.85:1, let me know.
- 31:14 Alternate Take used in the final cut of the movie
- 59:13 scene missing in the final cut, a similar shot was used
- 1:01:14 shot misses 12 frames in the final cut, shot was adjusted to fill the gab
- 1:05:01 shot shown in the trailer is at later point of the same shot
- 1:06:02 shot shown in the trailer is at later point of the same shot
- 1:07:05 scene missing in the final cut, a similar shot was used
- 1:16:14 title animation is from the teaser. I like this one more



Why V1?
The title animation and credits in the trailer are taken from the teaser. I currently don't have time to fully restore them to match to the trailer. I might do it at a later point.

So, I discovered that the Blu-ray for the Archival Versions (US Theatrical, International Theatrical, Director's Cut) of Blade Runner does not have the best audio, only being in Dolby Digital 5.1, nor is it the original Dolby Stereo mix on LaserDiscs.
I checked that the HD-DVD release has slightly better Dolby Digital Plus audio tracks for the dubbed audio in all versions as well as the English 5.1 audio in the Archival Versions.
Unfortunately, I could not track a single rip or remux of the HD-DVD version of the Final Cut, let alone the Archival Versions (Disc 3).

I also discovered that the Archival Versions Blu-ray, HD-DVD and DVD releases had seamless branching to go between the two different versions, and that it can be replicated with MKVs, as seen in this forum post (which even gives an example of Blade Runner):

I have a crazy idea of making ultimate remuxes of Blade Runner, its many different versions, and its bonuses in the following versions:

Blade Runner: The Broadcast Preservation in 1080p

The only difference between the two audio mixes is that the CBS track has the opening narration while the HBO Asia/Cinemax Asia cut does not.


This would involve scouring through eBay for the HD-DVD and this may be a daunting task, especially since HD-DVDs are quite hard to come by, especially since the 5-Disc HD-DVD of Blade Runner only came out in North America.
Unfortunately, I cannot do this myself as I do not have the skills and/or equipment to tweak the audio, rip from HD-DVDs. My hard drive is also too small for this task.
I would love for this project to happen.
As I stated, my priority for foreign language dubs is the Japanese dubs but it would be great if all of the other dubs would be included as well.

P.S: It would require someone living in Southeast Asia or Hong Kong to get cable, wait for Blade Runner to come up on HBO or Cinemax, and record the broadcast.

I was wondering if there would ever be an "anti-cringe cut" fanedit of Sam Raimi's Oz the Great and Powerful (2013), since James Franco was revealed to have misogynistic behavior towards women a couple years back and became a blacklisted actor in the movie industry.

I would like the fanedit if it had the following:

1. Bruce Campbell's credit removed from the opening credits (since he only had a 2-second cameo),
   
2. cringeworthy and mean-spirited jokes removed or trimmed,
   
3. bad CG improved, removed, or trimmed,
   
4. Mila Kunis deepfaked to have Lady Gaga's face and simulated voice (since Mila Kunis was miscast and gives the worst - and an unintentionally hilarious - Wicked Witch performance),
   
5. the Wicked Witch of the West's makeup improved (since it looks like a half-witted Jim Carrey in The Mask - "Smokin', my pretty!", anyone?),
   
6. James Franco deepfaked to have Robert Downey Jr.'s face and simulated voice (since the role was originally meant to be for Downey),
   
7. the 1939-movie-referencing dialogue removed (to make it stand on its own as a "spiritual prequel" rather than a "bad movie referencing a good movie that spiritually comes after it and we'd rather be watching that instead of this"),
   
8. the entire movie re-scored with the music of someone other than Danny Elfman and his credit altered to be that composer instead of Danny Elfman (since Danny Elfman does the same music over and over since the late-1990's and this movie's score sounds suspiciously similar to John Williams' Harry Potter scores),
   
9. the Munchkin Welcome Song removed,
   
10. the deleted carriage scene that was in the trailer added back into the movie,
    
11. the hot-air balloon death fake-out scene and all references to it removed,
    
12. a mentioning of who came up with the prophecy and that the prophet was killed by Evanora's winged baboons, and
    
13. Theodora becoming the Wicked Witch of the West not because she's Woman Scorned, but because she's pretending to be good and love Oscar and wants as much power as, if not more than, Evanora, so both of them can vanquish Oscar and Glinda to prevent the prophecy from fulfilling
    

I recently got hold of the Roan Group's LD of Phenomena, it's the International Cut with 'Chace' surround. As far as I can tell it was released roughly at the same time as the Anchor Bay non-anamorphic DVD, does anyone here know if the master was the same for both releases? The LD has nice colours particularly in the night scenes but the most striking difference is in the sleepwalking 'vision' shots, they are very overexposed on the LD, including an extra shot of the 'window' victim during Jennifer's first sleepwalk which looks completely normal on the blu rays.

Ok just to get this out of the way, this is a restoration of the original version of Heat prior to the changes that Michael Mann made to the video and audio when it was released on Blu Ray. It is not in any way representative of how it looks on 35mm - it was never intended to be. It's graded to the DVD, not everyone will be happy about that but it is what it is and I'm happy with it.

The starting point for this project was the Japanese Blu Ray, which is not cropped like some of the later releases and is AVC encoded. The blu ray footage was decoded in Avisynth, with some edge enhancement reduction, then edited where necessary so that it matched the laserdisc frame for frame. The missing scene was sourced from the DVD. The entire movie was then color matched to the DVD release using DrDre. I used around 700 different LUTs to do the grading and black levels were corrected where necessary. The whole thing took around 6 months. The footage was then upscaled to 4K in Topaz and taken back down to 1080P, then regrained in Phoenix. 

Thank you to @williarob and @zoidberg for capturing the laserdisc. Thank you to @Evit for the Italian audio tracks.
