Proposal: The James Cameron Project
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'

I can't believe that.

It’s a strange world we live in when The Blob has a better UHD than The Godfather, Star Wars or Aliens..

This could spell the end of the format, because not every film released as the JC aura.

That's my ultimate concern also.

PDB have you heard anything back from this London screening?

I can't believe that.

We are talking about Disney here. 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.
