Not sure that's necessarily a good thing!

The older Blu-ray is still my go to picture-wise, much like T2.

BTW, was the 4k released canceled? I've found a webdl from april, but don't know where it came from...

Disney & Regency have just agreed a new deal but not sure if it includes catalogue or just new releases.

Okay, hope it will come out one day as Mann was really involved in the remaster, shot by shot.
I'm gonna give a try to the 4k webdl i've found, but don't know what source or master it is.

Unfortunately Michael Mann being involved in the remaster is a very bad thing. Not only has he cut out two shots and a few lines of dialogue he drenches the whole thing in teal. In addition to that the 4K webrip is also zoomed in on all four sides, so I'm not that optimistic that a 4k disc release will be any good to be honest...

Okay, it's a huge bummer!
I've been waiting for this to come to 4k for so long, actually for all Mann's movies.

So I've pretty much finished the initial color grading, I've watched it through once and made some adjustments, currently rendering out V2. I'm now looking to see if any volunteers are happy to assist with testing? You don't have to have experience with color grading just looking for anything that looks wrong or out of place. Drop me a PM if you are interested - newbies this is a great way to contribute! I'm also still looking for Spanish audio from any DVD release. Thanks.

Mann is the worst, he is worse than Lucas and Cameron combined.
I had the R0 DTS disc, maybe been a bootleg but the audio was amazing, even with the cropped 1.85:1 image

Count me in Alleycat.
I have it lined up for a rewatch so this will be perfect.

I'd love to check it out and give feedback. Do we know if any of the available 5.1 audio mixes are theatrical? My thinking was that the LD AC3 might be as legend has it that LD 5.1 tracks were just straight ports of the theatrical mixes.

The Ld is the closest by far

The LD mix is so good.

Heat is showing in 35mm at the PCC next month, I may try to attend

I'm happy to sync the LD 5.1 to this if nobody has already done so.

You must attend, my man. It's your only chance to see how it actually looks like: a very colorfull movie with its proper saturation, vivid orange and cyan blues.
