Is there anything in the works for a Blu-ray (it's one of those big vista films that would look spectacular in that format), or at least remastered DVD of this?
I have no idea who owns the rights to the Gregory Peck-Jean Simmons-Charlton Heston starrer directed by William Wyler, though my DVD is on MGM.
When the current DVD was done, for some reason the copper wash over the main titles came out black and white (except for traces of the copper in the dissolves). My suspicion is that it had a computer color correction, and no one checked the final result against the original. It's that obvious, and right at the beginning (note: the previous VHS issues had it right). I'm not ascribing any evil intent, just a rush to get it out.
It would sure be nice to have the picture as released, along with a general dirt and speck clean-up.
Any chance of that?
