Have anybody an answer to the questions I asked in the post #20? https://fanrestore.com/thread-1169-post-...l#pid23469
EDIT: about 2), the alternate beginning takes more than 3m, leaving just more than 7m; that's the difference between the SE and TC, so mystery should be solved. Compared BD and HDTV; the latter is a good version, often with no (or minimal) loss at the sides, while, of course, a lot more top and bottom. A project using its video and DTS laserdisc (DTS Cinema, too?) audio could be interesting. EDIT: Also, adding the 2.35:1 cut scenes to 1.78:1 open matte version to make a variable aspect ratio special edition is a cool idea!

I remember putting an inter library loan for the Alien Legacy DVD set a few years ago, and to my surprise all the discs in the set were full screen as opposed to the correct widescreen singles I later got sent. IIRC, Alien & Alien 3 just had letterboxed credits then P&S for the rest, while Alien: Resurrection was like the VHS/Divix master pictured here and Aliens had unmasked FX shots but oddly enough, cropped talking and interior shots. Wish I remembered which library it came from, but I might be able to jog my memory further if I can find the open matte Fox logos from Aliens and Resurrection in my collection.

There is also a Theatrical AMZN WEB-DL Open Matte available on the forum thread over at the rus tracker.

I’ve been after that fullscreen Legacy DVD set for years but have never seen a set in the wild!

Discovered that there was at least a DVB recording of Alien: Resurrection in full screen; better than VHS quality (apart the logo, of course), and they are BOTH open matte, and NOT pan&scan!
Now, it will be great to get it... and, this *may* means that the full screen DVD used indeed the same master. |
