According to previous reports, this restoration is in fact a brand-new 4k image harvest from the original camera negatives...Universal is putting its full weight into getting this done right, apparently.youworkmen said:Is this actually a new restoration of the film itself or just a new HD master of the restoration to replace the abysmal one released on Bluray by Universal

After reading the reviews (which were as bad as any reviews of a top tier Blu-ray release that I've ever read) of Universal's Blu-ray, I declined to buy it even heavily discounted.
So, I'm cautiously optimistic about this new release. Hopefully, there will be a big upgrade from what was offered before. However, forgive me if I wait for reviews before purchasing.
Good luck with that. The old Blu-ray has been at bargain basement prices for so long, I think you'd be lucky to get a couple of dollars for it.I knew about the complaints of the first Blu-ray, but bought it anyway. Now I can hopefully sell the old disc to some blissfully clueless collector.
