I think Lightstorm did the transfers directly.
They didn't want to pay for a censored 4K master for the UK after the BBFC still wanted cuts to the rats scene and just cancelled the release outright stating 'artistic integrity'

Now here's the kicker, Xenogenesis is remastered and looks better than the other stuff LOL.

This could spell the end of the format, because not every film released as the JC aura. PDB have you heard anything back from this London screening? https://www.genesiscinema.co.uk/movie/al...cumentary/ re: https://youtu.be/1mS9j8aB2Fc

They are financially shaky, had questionable inexperienced staff and things got so bad that they're dropping their home video release division and licensing it all to Sony. I can't imagine that helped Cameron. Of course, Sony will probably do new transfers. |
