Regarding the 4K release, we’ll use the same master but we’re trying to do our best to make some improvements, wherever possible. for sure it’ll be a BD-100. could be released this autumn.

I’ve also been working on a documentary discussing the editing and footage problems that Paramount has never fixed. I finally found a crappy low res version of the rare Italian CVC DVD of the 1990s extended version, but never got to see the Leonenut fan reconstruction. Does anybody have that by chance? I didn’t know he had also made a documentary that seems to be along the same lines of what I’ve been making.

I think I still have the documentary (but not the main feature anymore).

I think it’s safe to say at this point that Paramount is at best hit or miss at the 4k game.
I did an upscale of the Italian extended dvd some years ago. I have to see if I can dig it out or at least redo it.
So that best solution seems to be sticking to the old BD? If I did an upscale of that BD to 4k what changes would need to be made? I know the rising has to be removed. But is the ending just a matter of the music or is it the title coming in at the wrong time?

They are the worst, if they do something well, it's more luck than judgement
