Kræver den nye Spartacus remaster ikke sin egen tråd? Jeg tillader mig at citere Buck Rogers fra tråden "HD Udgivelser":
Halvgammel, men helgod nyhed:
Så er det med at smide den gamle, lusede BD på porten. Robert Harris har brugt lang tid på at restaurere Spartacus:
Universal Studios Home Entertainment will release on Blu-ray Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus (1960), starring Kirk Douglas, Laurence Olivier, Jean Simmons, Charles Laughton, and Peter Ustinov. Sourced from a
brand new 4K restoration, the Blu-ray release will be available for purchase on October 6.
Synopsis: Spartacus, the genre-defining epic from director Stanley Kubrick, is the legendary tale of a bold gladiator (Kirk Douglas) who led a triumphant Roman slave revolt. Newly restored from large format 35MM original film elements*, the action-packed spectacle won four Academy Awards including Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction. Featuring a cast of screen legends such as Laurence Olivier, Charles Laughton, Peter Ustinov, Jean Simmons, John Gavin and Tony Curtis, this uncut and fully restored masterpiece is an inspirational true account of man's eternal struggle for freedom.

* "For those who are not aware, the Super Technirama process used horizontal 8-perf 35mm film with anamorphic squeezing to yield a 2.35:1 ratio for standard CinemaScope prints but with double the negative area providing a much sharper image."
Robert Harris der har stået for restaureringen har postet nogle screenshots i HTF der sammenligner 2010-udgaven med den nye udgave:
Det bliver første gang i et par år tror jeg, at kryber ud af streaming-hullet og investerer i en fysisk film.
