Call me skeptical and a pessimist but from that email screenshot why do i get the feeling that he is talking only about scanning in 4K (negatives) and nowhere about actually authoring a 4K blu ray disc. I am interpreting this as being done for a 1080p Blu ray disc which is also a big enough deal. At bare minimum I Just wish none of this hard work goes into streaming services or else its a moot point.

I’ve spoken to the guy on a few occasions and they do indeed intend to release it on blu. They’re planning a proper premium-like edition. Possibly a steelbook, but failing which at the very least a fullslip scanavo with goodies. But as mentioned in the mail, there are a few hurdles, such as the inclusion of Shivay in the deal, that they’re still trying to overcome.

they are doing Dolby vision which suggests that there will be a bluray and most likely in 4k

Thanks for clarifying. Well then lets hope for the best. Honestly though this sounds too good to be true
