Musicguy · 01-30-2015, 10:19 PM

A New 4k restoration of the film "1776" will be screened at the TCM Film Festival this year

New 4K definitive Director’s cut restoration from the original negative, which includes some footage not previously seen and presented in collaboration with director, Peter H. Hunt, and Sony Pictures.

Set during the American Revolution and based on the 1969 hit Broadway musical comedy, William Daniels plays John Adams to Ken Howard’s Thomas Jefferson in director Peter H. Hunt’s take on the crafting of the Declaration of Independence.

In attendance: William Daniels, Ken Howard, Peter H. Hunt

It has been strongly hinted that SONY will release a blu-ray soon after that - and Twilight Time has confirmed they will not be releasing the film through their own label.

an official announcement should follow soon

I would have loved to been in the room when a musical about the signing of the Declaration of Independence was first pitched.

Even by Broadway standards that had to seem like more than a bit of a stretch.

But dammit, it worked

I'll pay whatever they're asking if they at least include the footage from the Pioneer laserdisc as an extra.

Strongly hinted by who? Any links?

Couldn't you wait for an ACTUAL blu-ray news?

No offense, but this kind of a premature threads is pointless..
