[Idea] "Thief" remastered theatrical cut

[Beber]

Hey, guys.

I see on movie-censorship (https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=597171) that the latest DC available from Criterion and Arrow simply has one extra scene circa 10 minutes in for about 82 seconds and the rest is the same as the theatrical cut. So recreating the theatrical cut based on the remastered DC would be pretty straight forward. Only one shot has to be taken and color matched from the theatrical Blu-ray because it's longer while it fades into the extra scene in the DC. We can just use the theatrical Blu-ray as timeline and adjust the colors a bit on the remaster so that the teal turns into a prettier cyan shade and that's it. I'll probably do that in a not too distant future. Some audio analyst will just have to determine the pitch issue @titanic mentionned to me and fix it if needed so that I include a proper track. What do you think?

There are three cuts from memory and it's more than one single scene, but no way the teal can be fully removed I bet

You're talking about the 1st DC from 1995 and that's not in HD anywhere. Just like the 1st DC of Ali, Mann changes everything more than once, he's the worst.
The current and most up to date DC really is just the theatrical cut with that extra scene with the fisherman. I already played them both side by side to check. There might be some shots that last a couple of frames longer or shorter, but the cut is mainly the exact same. Which is infuriating as they could have simply offered both remastered cuts in seemless branching since it's only one additional scene. As for the teal, it doesn't have to be fully removed. Some can stay and, other times, a switch to a prettier cyan shade will do it, with maybe a bit of extra work on skin tones to revive them.

I am yes, it's my favourite film of all time and I own as many copies as they have made!
They really were lazy not doing the TC
