But we will not get to see the actual 50 year old movie, just the 30 year old version.
I finally "acquired" the despecialized edition and what a treat. It is so great to finally be able to watch this movie the way it is meant to be seen.
Plus, people like Scorsese and Scott, screen films in their homes, in fancy theaters, maybe with actual film projectors. They ain't trudging down to the local AMC every time they want to watch a movie.
Waterworld, the score starts very softly as the Universal logo plays, the words "Universal" then fade as the camera slowly moves towards the globe as water covers the land masses.
Transformers added transforming sound effects over the logos (I think they all do this but I know the first one does).
"Then He Kissed Me" begins playing during the Touchstone logo for Adventures in Babysitting.
Superman Returns added a Superman theme tag to the end of the "As Time Goes By"...
I can't wait to see this, but I did not realize it was going to be 4 films. Were all 4 parts shot at the same time or, if chapters 1 and 2 fail this year, does that mean we will never see the conclusion to the story?
I said the same thing when Spielberg announced he was doing West Side Story. Then I saw it and now prefer to watch it over the original. So, I'll take a wait and see approach.
