Warner need to get the oceans trilogy out, the last had a 4k di and I think the rest had 4k masters

Maybe tie-ins for the new film?

Mad Max is easily the only one of the trio I would love to import to the US once I get my 4K TV and blu-ray player.

Will Argo and The Town have multiple cuts of the film on the UHD disc? Hoping MAD MAX will have the original Australian track as lossless or Atmos.

I wouldn't bet on it for The Town, and I don't think the word "just" ever enters into it when rescanning a film, especially with these DI movies as I assume they never cut together a complete physical negative after editing, which means even more work piecing it together from all the separate reels again (anyone with insider knowledge please correct me if I'm wrong.)

And for these older DI movies that were done way before HDR became a consideration, do they go back to some archived ungraded source, or are they just trying to artificially punch it up from the already compressed/graded SDR master? I assume and hope it's the former, but we've already seen many examples of things that should have been archived but weren't (the scan of Baraka for example.)

Some studios follow through with a complete neg cut and/or archival film-out (of both negative and YCM separations) from the final digital master, Penton posted an excellent piece a ways back about what Warners did for Ocean's 13. But I've no facts to give you as to what percentage of DI finishes actually receive such treatment; as you infer in your second paragraph, it's all about what was actually archived at the time.

Now that I finally own all three on BD, I'm sure WB will announce fresh remastered versions and UHDs any day now.

Ugh, but I highly prefer the extended cuts for both The Town and Argo!!

I hope they are releasing a 4k restored Mad Max Trilogy set soon on UHD and BD.
I can't stand the wrong colors of MM 1 and 2. I hope they finally correct them (all three films looked pretty much the same originally, not as pale as the current BDs of 1 and 2, more brownish, reddish and yellowish like Part 3 and the DVD of Road Warrior).
