With this and director Joseph Kosinski saying he had prepared a 4K remaster for Tron: Legacy for the Apple Vision Pro a while back, it can’t be too much of a stretch to think that both films will get 4K physical releases to help promote Tron: Ares.
A middle-aged nerd from the UK. I like films and write about them, sometimes for Film Stories or my blog.
Have a great day.

I got mixed up. The longer version is the original cut but it’s only by about a minute. I don’t know if it’s helpful but I found these running times. I won’t link the site this came from as it spoils the ending.
R-Rated version = 98:35 Min. Unrated version = 99:51 Min.
I hope it’s the original cut. Both cuts are identical but the US version ending runs a little longer and changes the outcome dramatically.
Ahhh. You’ve picked up on my bad keyboard swiping skills. 😄
This reminds me of when I first watched Firefly and the security forces turn up wearing the Starship Troopers armour! Completely threw be for a bit! 😆
He’s alright as Peter Parker but he definitely wasn’t Nathan Drake in Uncharted. I just can’t see him as Bond.
I also find it a little worrying that the director doesn’t have final cut.
I remember when it opened in my hometown by Julian Clary.
If regularly go every Monday to see what the new VHS releases were and then on a Friday for the latest games.
I’m sure I went for a midnight launch of something but I can’t remember what. It might have been The X Files on VHS?
Just double checked on a Wiki, they started releasing two episodes a tape, two tapes a month. But the show became so popular, they scrapped that after just a couple of months and decided to do it differently.
This was before major internet, so I would discover things at hmv if never heard of before.
I remember discovering a 4CD soundtrack set to the Star Wars trilogy. A CD for each film with the fourth CD containing rare unreleased music. Bought that instantly I think.
Yeah, lots of other memories too. 😁
I’ve never started a community before although when I use the web version, and I click new, it does say “post or community”. I’m not sure yet which server that’s referring to.
I’m sure @Emperor@feddit.uk would know but he hasn’t been seen for two months now.
I bet @Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com or @Blaze@feddit.org or @Blaze@sopuli.xyz could help.
Yes, he has three accounts and I don’t know which is his main one. He organised the move of movies on lemm.ee to piefed.
Yeah, both my kids are different levels of autistic but it wasn’t until my wife pointed out that I was too, it all suddenly clicked into place.
For reference, I would’ve been about 47 when this happened, a couple of years ago.
I’m just constantly surprised that all these shows were done on film, therefore allowing a 4K scan.
If you want to know about crap licenses to movies, there was a 8bit game for Blade Runner, but the developers couldn’t obtain the rights to do it. However, they were able to gain the rights to another part of the film.
The box art for the Blade Runner game states in rather small text on the cover, “video game interpretation of the film score”. Yes, they got the rights to the soundtrack!
Didn’t Legacy get a 4K update for that Apple VR headset thing. I saw an interview with the director where he confirmed he had just supervised a new transfer.
I had this on releas on my GameCube and really enjoyed it. Several years ago, I played through it again and it holds up really well. The combat gets a bit repetitive and the camera can sometimes get stuck in a strange position but apart from that, it was a lot of fun.
I’m interested to see how this turns out because they’re HD masters taken from the original broadcast tapes.
Therefore it will look better than DVD at least. I’ll await the reviews.
I don’t know about that instance in particular but that’s not to say it didn’t happen. As new sound mixes were created over the first few years, I think different sounds and lines were tinkered with.
The only one that I definitely know of is during Han and Chewie’s escape from the Death Star.
You can hear a Trooper shouting “close the blast doors”. Then once they’re closed, a Trooper hurriedly shouts, “open the blast doors, open the blast doors!” I can’t remember which, but one of those two lines was added at a later date, I’m sure.
There’s a lovely ten minute video on the BFI YouTube channel talking about this lovely Technicolour print of the film.
I’m pretty sure the only reason everyone is calling this rare is because it doesn’t have the “episode 4” title which was added later.
This is the same film, for people of a certain age, grew up with on TV and VHS. I don’t understand why it’s being sold as a version barely anyone has seen.
If you want a version no one has seen, in the Lucasfilm archives is a copy of Star Wars where the travelling shots in the Falcon and land speeder were achieved with rear projection. Just like the TV shows of the 70s and 80s when characters were talking in cars.
I can’t believe we thought that tank controls were good back then.
Apart from different sounds mixes and adding the title “A New Hope” for it’s re-release in 1980 (I think), there were no significant changes until the Special Editions in 1997.
I made it to the part where Liam rips the arms off the bad guy and stopped watching. That’s only ten seconds into the trailer!
Cool. The US version cuts off the birthday cake ending. So after the jump scare in the car, it cuts to the credits. So it implies she’s escaped I guess.
