The Shining UHD

Which version of ACO though? It was released twice on Laserdisc, the second time with digital sound.

Forget the LDs, the DVD sounds best (for ACO).

So it looks like The Shining is only getting a revised 'extended' cut - not the 2 hour 'European' version which I, and I'm sure others on here, grew up with.

I've seen the US cut once (didn't really like any of the extra scenes) but I can't remember whether the additional material was in the form of extra scenes (which could be cut out) or alternate ones?

Trying to work out whether I could re-create the European cut in 4K. The French LD appears to have the original mono (albeit in PAL).

Same, with this Blade Runner and Batman Warner are just revising everything

They aren't revising The Shining. The "extended" cut is the North American version. Warner only called it that when it finally got a video release in Europe a few years ago.

Kubrick was happy with both cuts existing, I was more refering to the audio options.

Oh! I see!

There now seems to be some speculation, courtesy of an HMV facebook post, that we might get the European cut in the UK - fingers crossed.

Doubtful.

It will be the old disc on a BD

Yeah most likely, hopefully it can be recreated out the the new US transfer
