Das Boot on UHD?

[LexInHD]

None that I am aware of. The current focus is on the TV series Das Boot. The issue with Das Boot is that it requires a comprehensive restoration to do a UHD-BD release that people would want to buy. They can scan/clean-up the original film and release it, but it wouldn't be the product that people want to buy, because it wouldn't be doing the work or the format justice. When the Director's Cut - the version considered to be the definitive one - was made, it was something akin to an EE of LOTR, with added footage and improved digital VFX and audio to make it worthy of screening in a cinema and releasing on DVD. All of that would have to be re-done for a UHD-BD release of the Director's Cut. Then you've also got the "Uncut Edition", basically the TV mini-series edit, which people might also want to see on UHD-BD and that's nearly 300 minutes. I think it's possible that we might get a new DC restoration, but if it's happening, it's under the radar at the moment.
