I know Kino has to use the master that Universal gives them, and I know once in awhile Kino will reissue blu rays with some improvements, so I wonder if there is any possibility of a better quality Spawn of the North being issued due to that uneven texture on the original release ?
I missed out on this, but was there any thread here on this kickstarter from Redwood Creek Films about the restoration of this Tod Browning film ? Was the kickstarter just to get an early release and then the blu ray will be sold on the general market ?
Would someone know the situation with their archived/preservation stock - is that going to be the highest quality - why wouldn't they use it for outputting to the consumer (or are they) ?
If you know the answer, I'm confused by the various terms regarding physical media and it's preservation vs display. I want to use Disney classic films for this. Is the archived/preservation product going to be the highest quality for pq and sound ? When we see a film like 20,000 Leagues...
I loved the music and production values but I think it missed because it jumped around the characters so much, I never felt much interest in any of them.
