This from the 2015 TCM Festival web site:

When the hell will we get this great film looking decent?

There's a thread with that unfortunate update here: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/topic/335974-spartacus-world-premiere-restoration-at-tcm-festival-2015/?p=4199362

No need to over-react. The title would never have been announced in the first place if work had not already been well underway on a restoration. These things can take months to do properly. Presumably, an unforeseen glitch or slowdown has happened and Universal has to postpone the premiere in order to do it correctly.

I speak as someone who will be attending the Festival and had planned on seeing Spartacus. I certainly don't take the cancellation of the premiere as an indication a restoration is not forthcoming.

And glass half full, there's still restorations of...The Hunchback Of Notre Dame & 42nd Street.

Agree with you. It just will not be ready for the Festival but ready for a new Blu sometime this year.

Disappointed with the postponement of Spartacus but optimistic that new restorations mean we may see BD's of 1776, The Hunchback of Notre Dame (maybe from WAC?), and Roman Holiday sooner rather than later.
