Is Leon Vitali also involved with the 4K restoration?

I am sure he was it is in the new short film Filmworker which is really good.

Yes I saw it last night. I hope he had control and NOT Nolan!

Actually it was an engrossing 93 minutes long.

I'm not sure how well it relates to the UHD release, but here is the IMAX trailer.

IMAX trailer is in gorgeous new “Teal-O-Vision,” which from original notes is what the filmmaker had in mind, but the color was not invented until 1975.

Fortunately, we can now have a corrected version.

Quite lovely, actually.

I'm not sure how well it relates to the UHD release, but here is the IMAX trailer.

It's the same trailer as the last two (70mm roadshow and UHD) except with a different tag at the end. You'd think they would have upgraded it to use footage from the 4K master by now.

Like I said ,still praying it doesn't look like that. Navy Pier next weekend .Wife asks "haven't we seen that enough times ?" I say "I'll go by myself then" ...I still have a date.

I honestly wouldn't expect that. They already paid a post production house to make it; why pay them again to recreate the work, when there's nothing to be gained from it. Redoing the trailer would not substantially increase the potential theatrical grosses for the upcoming week-long IMAX run.

It is playing locally in the multiplex version of IMAX for one week starting on the 24th. Check your local listings.

Incredible waste of film stock, which isn’t even biodegradable

That's a terrible trailer... really!

Made to look like a Christopher Nolan film.

Made to look like a Christopher Nolan film.

That has been one of the scary parts of all of this . I think we are all hoping that it doesn't but him having his hand in it leaves that lingering doubt.

Meaning what?

Not just the teal, the "Ultimate Trip" idea is gone. People who have never seen the film will not know how abstract the film is. Maybe I should have said, they made it look like a modern space thriller.

At this point there is probably not much that can be done except to wait, until now it has not been confirmed that the trailer reflects the look of the disc.

If there are grading / color timing issues it will be possible to rectify these for later releases that we all know will inevitably follow but there is still a very slim chance that this will not be necessary.

Well is was a lifetime ago, but I don't remember seeing any of those, Ultimate Trip film posters when this was first released in London. I think it was something that the studio latched on to a wee bit later. And anyone expecting anything like a modern space thriller (after seeing the trailer) is going to be so bored & perplexed. I'm looking forward to some really entertaining online reading when this is finally released.

I keep thinking why was the trailer tealed in the first place ? This shows a mind set that is disturbing to me regarding what films should look like and questioning who is at the helm.

I'm not so sure we will see another 2001 after this so I don't have the confidence you do there. This is why I feel that this is so important. Less than a week I'll see the 4K DCP at Navy Pier.
