The situation is different here:

Hi,
a few days ago some filmfans started a petition for an ultimate Terminator 2 Blu-ray edition WITHOUT all the errors of the 2017 release (DNR, blue lasercolor in the furure war) and a 4K restoration of the special edition cut scenes.
Please sign and share the petition. With James Cameron's...

2008 they made the first Blu-ray with an old scan and bad encoding. It's a shame that Fox doesn't use the...
@Robert Harris, do you know if Lightstorm did the Digital Noise Reductionon directly on their remastering work (before color grading) or way after that only in the 3D convertion?
On "Titanic" they did a perfectly new 4K transfer and then they moved to 3D convertion and made the Digital Noise...

Look how good an even older film could look...
When you look closely, Paramount only distribuite the film:
Production Companies
Constellation Entertainment (presents) (as Constellation Films)
Douglas/Reuther Productions (as Douglas/Reuther)
Bernina Film
Mont Blanc Entertainment GmbH...
Please help to make a new transfer of "The Ghost and the Darkness".

The cinematogpraphy of Vilmos Zsigmond is masterful, but unfortunately only a very old HD master exits that was used in Germany for two horrible Blu-rays. Maybe this is one of the oldest...
That would be great, but unfortunately Twentieth Century Fox Germany say that the UHD set contains the existing 1080p Blu-ray discs, no remastered discs based on the new 4K transfers.
The argumentation is a slap in the face of every truly movie enthusiast.
They say the Ultimate Hunter Editions...
I dont speak about a 3D convertion of these cuts, I speak about 4K transfers fort these cuts. ;-)
And this is very possible, because Cameron restore booth cuts of Aliens and booth Cuts from The Abyss.

The Mummy Returns 4K remaster
The Frighteners 4K remaster
Dragonheart 4K remaster
Cape Fear 4K remaster
Backdraft 4K remaster
