    But then we also have to remember that the film has never even had an anamorphic DVD release, all existing versions are 4:3 letterbox taken from the old Laserdisc masters. So the entire film will need to be telecined all over again.
    If its The Abyss you mean, then they have done a HD remastering of the Theatrical version for HDTV use. I have it, its in 1080i with 5.1 audio.
    The remastering they did with that one actually looks very good, its superior to any release they have done of it before that HDTV version.
    But there is room for improvements for it though, if they decide to take the step further and release it on Blu-ray.

      I have no interest in the theatrical cut to be honest. It's an exercise in pointlessness. The ending loses all sense of gravitas and is essentially reduced to a silly mind-game. Without the alien tidal waves as a threat it just feels like a big buildup towards nothing of any significance.

        The original 1976 Bad News Bears starring Walter Mathau and Tatum O'Neil. John Alonzo's natural light cinematography gives the movie a really raw feel.

          It seems my wish list is down to The Abyss and True Lies.

            It's a good-looking film with some very inventive cinematography. I particularly love the opening where Pink's father in WWII is lit only by a lantern. The film merits the high-definition visual clarity and color depth of blu-ray.

              The theatrical versions of the Star Wars Trilogy.
              If that does not count, then I am still waiting for The Prince of Egypt.

                I can confirm that the visual effects for the Director's Cut of The Abyss were finished to HD standards.
                After the theatrical run, there was a limited run of the Director's Cut in selected theatres. I saw both versions in theatres. The Director's Cut is far superior in my opinion, and it's a shame most people who went to the movies to see it didn't see the superior version. What a shame!

                        Scream Factory are putting that film out on Blu-ray.
                        You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.
