[Canceled] Die Hard 2 35mm Regrade (The 35 Project)
#61
The Die Hards may be on US Netflix at the moment, I can't access from the UK without some firm of voodoo. Perhaps the new masters slipped out

Try an inexpensive VPN?

I can tell you that compared to the Blu-ray, the movie looks colder, cyan-bluer, greener than the Blu-ray which has too much red in it and thus too pinkish skintones.

Die Hard 3 on 35mm up for auction

Yeah I'd like to hear any insight. DH3 on BD is very warm and orange/yellow like DH2 but it benefits the summer vibe. I'm surprised but not surprised to hear the 35 is different.

Here are pics from the auction Nafroe mentioned, which are much cooler then the BD (although over saturated also). How do they compare to what you saw?

That looks about right. The feel of it reminded me of the green/blue samples of Face/Off that THXita posted on OT.com:

Also, the very beginning, the city landscape shots on "Summer in the City" are way too red on video. Actually, the trailer in the bonus section is closer (just like the picture of the title you just posted), though some city shots (at least one) in that trailer lack a touch of red.

From what I understand DH3 is an independent film, produced by Cinergi Pictures with Fox handling the distribution in the US and Disney handling the European markets.
I gather an Inter-positive from the Original Negative would be delivered to the distributors.
With two separate workflows to create the 35mm release prints, would that add different variables to color timings ect?

Die Hard 3 is also zoomboxed on all four sides on all it's telecine masters, (you can see it by the way McClane's head is cropped all the time and compare with the widescreen trailers from the time) so a new master with with full cinemascope framing would be welcome.

Maybe. All I can tell you is that being a French print, it had the Gaumont/Buena Vista logo in front of it, not the 20th Century Fox one, and that there were no English burnt-in subtitles for the German dialogues as there would be in any English-spoken country.

Yes, the transfers for home video have been pretty bad.
Always looked overly sharpened and very like 'video'. The trailers always looked great and conveyed a different mood.

I don't believe we had a distributer logo at the front in the UK, Just the Cinergi Pictures ident.
Face / Off was the same with it just being black where the music would have started over the Paramount logo.
It stood out in this case as it lasted about 30 seconds before anything appeared on screen.
This changed in both cases on the home video releases.

Highly censored in the UK so that didn't help
