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.
